Planning to implement new strategies, plans and objectives?
News item added 24th October 2007
Making change happen at the coalface means engaging middle managers - and enabling them to make the change happen.
Our experience demonstrates that Change Management is only sustainable or effective in the medium- to long-term when accountability for its success and operation sits inside the organisation – in the right place, with the right people.
So how can we help?
It all depends on the value you’re looking for. Here are some of the benefits we’ve brought to clients in the last few years:
- Scoping and mapping Change: Developing SMART Change programmes from new organisational objectives, values, structures and decision-making processes. Getting the conceptual framework right, helping to deploy people and process to drive activity, and planning scenarios rigorously and comprehensively.
- Clarifying, validating, consolidating and co-ordinating existing Change strategies and programmes – and related development activities and initiatives. Identifying the value proposition to stakeholders; analysing the value chain and impact on brand and reputation; and agreeing measures to manage and monitor progress.
- Equipping Change champions, sponsors and agents with essential project and interpersonal tools, knowledge, skills and techniques to engage, lead and support stakeholders inside and outside the organisation.
- Diagnosing resistance, barriers and risks to Change – and identifying means to mitigate them.
- Identifying and developing a communications strategy and process to support Change and to facilitate an effective dialogue up, down and across the organisation.
- Enabling staff, customers, managers and other stakeholders to understand and embrace the impact of Change.
How do we do this?
Our Change Management practice has at its core a small team of highly experienced consultants – with access to additional, specialist help as and when our clients need it.What we do depends entirely on your need.
