They must know how to develop such a plan, make it happen, and condition their agency to work on a range of improvements every day, at all levels, and in all functions. They must link all priorities for change and improvement to their desired practice model, reinforcing that model at every turn. They must avoid having major obstacles and points of chronic resistance stall their progress, resolve related debates and tensions, avoid reactive or limited responses to the challenges they face, and instill a sense of hope and forward progress among the staff.  \nWhile there are always differences between what an agency aspires to do and what it actually does at a particular point in its development, effective plans and efforts to change and improve approach current limits in budgets, technology, programs, policies and research as a “two-way street.” Agencies must be both working within their current environmental limits as well as influencing these limits to move in a positive, evolutionary direction over time.  \nAgencies that are evolving in this way will experience a pattern of change that over time resembles an “upward spiral,”moving from more reform-oriented change and improvement to more innovative and progressive change, at times interrupted or delayed by temporary setbacks, disruptions and plateaus:  \n• Incremental progress forward, meeting basic expectations such as mandates, non-negotiabl","cbCaigdOvanym0Ia","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigdOvanym0Ia","pdf",223884,22,"English","# Change Management Guidance\n## Change Management Definition\n## Overview\n## Strategy\n### Macro, Mezzo, Micro Change Management\n## Change Planning\n## Key Processes\n## Operations\n## Implementation","[{\"question\":\"Why is change management critical in the public child welfare field?\",\"answer\":\"It enables agencies to assess performance, self-correct, innovate, and manage improvement to achieve positive outcomes.
