How does change resilience support sustaining new practices after a CJ change initiative?

• A. Abandon change initiatives when resistance appears.
• B. Focus only on initial rollout, ignoring follow-up.
• C. Keeps momentum, reinforces training, monitors adoption, and addresses barriers to sustain change.
• D. Blames staff for failure to adapt.

Answer: (C)

Change resilience is about keeping a change alive over time by actively supporting people and systems as they adopt new ways. After a CJ change initiative, sustaining new practices means maintaining momentum so the change doesn’t fade, and reinforcing training so staff continue to use the new processes correctly. It also involves monitoring adoption—tracking whether the practices are actually being used, gathering feedback, and measuring outcomes—to catch and fix gaps early. Addressing barriers means identifying practical obstacles (resources, policies, workflows) and removing or adjusting them so adherence remains feasible. Together, these elements create the conditions for lasting change. The other options describe stopping, neglecting follow-up, or blaming individuals, which undermine sustaining success.
