The Change Management Iceberg of Wilfried Krüger is a strong visualization
of what is arguably the essence of change in organizations: dealing
with barriers.
The top of the iceberg
According to Krüger many change managers only consider the top of
the iceberg: Cost, Quality and Time ("Issue Management").
Below the surface of the iceberg
However, below the surface of the water there are two more dimensions
of Change and implementation Management:
- Management of Perceptions and Beliefs, and
- Power and Politics Management
What kind of barriers arise, and what kind of Implementation Management
is consequently needed, depends on:
1. the kind of Change
- hard things "only" (information systems,
processes) just scratches the surface,
- soft things also (values, mindsets and
capabilities) is much more profound
2. the applied Change strategy
- revolutionary, dramatic change as in
Business Process Reengineering
- evolutionary, incremental change as in
Kaizen

People involved in Change
- Opponents have both a negative general attitude towards
change AND a negative behavior towards this particular personal change.
They need to be controlled by Management of Perceptions and Beliefs
to change their minds as far as possible.
- Promoters on the other hand have both a positive generic
attitude towards change AND are positive about this particular change
for them personally. They take advantage of the change and will therefore
support it.
- Hidden Opponents have a negative generic attitude towards
change although they seem to be supporting the change on a superficial
level ("Opportunists"). Here Management of Perceptions and Beliefs
supported by information (Issue management ) is needed to change their
attitude.
- Potential Promoters have a generic positive attitude towards
change, however for certain reasons they are not convinced (yet) about
this particular change. Power and Politics management seems to be
appropriate in this case.
Dealing with Change
Krüger says the general management has a permanent task and challenge
to deal with change. Superficial Issue Management can only achieve results
at a level consistent with the acceptance that is below the surface.
The base of Change Management is in both the interpersonal and behavioral
dimension and the normative and cultural dimension, and is subject to
Power and Politics management, and to the management of Perceptions
and Beliefs.
