Every day we are witnessing the increasing speed of change management, especially in medicine. However, sometimes it seems that is not the same speed of the change management in the hospital organisation vs the speed of medicine progress.\u00a0The wisdom of change management is a fundamental competency for managers and supervisors, employees and leaders and include special knowledge and skills. The base of change management is strategy. Strategy can be separated to the two different parts: strategy planning and strategy managing. The both part are very close in the practice and they both really depend on each other.\u00a0The questions are: what is wisdom and why needs wisdom for strategy?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wisdom<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Wisdom\u00a0<\/strong>is combination of knowledge and also rational intellectual practice and mental process.1\u00a0<\/sup>Humans are trying to make sense to the world around them with limited knowledge. (McKenna and David, 2005). In classical times, wisdom was listed among the four principal virtues: justice, moderation or self- control, courage and wisdom.\u00a0 (Rowley, 2006;\u00a0Rowley\u00a0 and\u00a0 Slack, 2008)1\u00a0<\/sup>However, the focus is on the wisdom in leadership. Leadership\u00b4s wisdom have four attitudes.\u00a0Wise leader must be capable in complex environments of cognitive complexity and coping with complex events.The leader must deeply and rational think, understand questions and situation.\u00a0He\/she should be capable for creative thinking, to discover and to use logic, make decision rely to instinct, non-rational process in judgment.\u00a0Finally, the leader have to have capacity for a long-term vision, long-term prosperity for humanity. (McKenna, 2009)1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Change Management<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Change Management\u00a0<\/strong>is the term that is used to refer to the change or transitioning people, groups, companies and projects from one status to another.\u00a0 For success, it is important to have strategy plan, which includes suitable plan of action. Change management is process and takes time, needs expertise, dedication and a lot of effort in implementation. It requires the involvement professional expert, commitment management, executive staff and enthusiastic staff, which can being affected by changes too. The important thing is that organisation and people must figure out why it needs the change management approach and how will the changes benefit it.2,3\u00a0<\/sup>Organisational change management are divided into three smaller stages: unfreeze, change and refreeze according to Lewin’s model. Management and organization must unfreeze current situation, be aware that change needs and make decision to go forward in new process. \u00a0The teamwork approach is necessary, because with these can be avoided some obstacle or challenges. Time to implement changes is next step.\u00a0Effective change requires clear and constant communication across all affected channels and organisational level.\u00a0Finally step is refreeze. After continues evaluation and modification some steps in the change process and achievement strategic goals. Teams and organizations need to move away from an old to new one organisational model or process. 2,3<\/sup><\/p>\n

Lewin’s Change Management Model<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is very simple to understanding Kurt Lewin’s Change Management Model: Unfreeze \u2013 Change \u2013 Refreeze (Lewin, 1940). If you have a large cube of ice (figure organization model\/process) it must to make amenable to change (unfreeze). The iced water you must mold to shape you want (change). The last stage is to solidify the new shape (refreeze). 4,5 \u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\n

Strategy<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Strategy includes two part, strategic planning<\/strong>and strategic management<\/strong>. Each effective change management have to include the strategy planning process.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Strategy planning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Strategy planning\u00a0<\/strong>includes vision\u00a0<\/strong>and mission<\/strong>,\u00a0goals\u00a0<\/strong>and objectives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For develop new strategy must have SWAT analyse of the old process. The SWAT analyse should use for new planning and new goals. To help in process strategy planning is important to have answer on the questions below:<\/p>\n
