Successful change institutionalization must be celebrated with all the stakeholders involved in the change journey.

Celebrating success is critical in encouraging:

• Reinforcement of change
• Increase in stakeholders morale
• Achievement of higher commitment level
• Higher user adoption rate.

Typically, while planning to celebrate change success, Organizational Change Lead should be involved in :

• Deciding on ways to recognize groups and individuals
• Identifying forums to share the benefits of the change
• Ensuring key sponsors and stakeholders are aware of these achievements
• Involving leadership to award these recognitions
• Providing supervisors with ways to recognize their employees for change adoption.

Individual and group recognition is a key component of Organizational Change Management tool that should be employed for reinforcing and sustaining the change.
