Our change management process helps organisations to
break-through barriers, transform themselves and create
new and exciting futures
Create a change culture
Create an environment where people choose to ‘thrive’ on change, rather than resist it
The need for change
In today’s world of change, organisations, teams and individuals have little choice but to adapt and transform. Ironically, the only ‘constant is change’ and the only ‘certainty is uncertainty’.
Effective change management is the only way to take organisations forward and is more important than ever.
Thriving on change
We help transformational leaders to effectively deliver change. We assist them to impact their organisations and create ‘an environment of change’, opening up the door for tangible transformation.
Such a culture helps people to see change as an opportunity to thrive rather than a challenge that holds them back.
We help people to view change as an opportunity
Elicit behavioural change
Influencing people
Change starts and ends with influencing people, and their
behaviour. It has been said that, “organisations don’t exist
— people do”.
For an organisation to change, the people within it must
change — first. Real change in people becomes evident
when there is a tangible transformation in their behavior.
Mindset transformation
The first step in harnessing transformation is through
changing the mindset of the people. Change the way they
think, and their actions will reflect the change.
For someone to change their actions, they must believe in
the assumptions and rationale for change. The process to
get them to do this can be challenging. Yet, it is critical to
ensuring that they ultimately embrace change.
Our Philosophy: Transform individual and group behaviour, and see
the organisation embrace the change on its own
Avoid change resistance
Resistance is the enemy of change, and is the root cause of many of its failures. Resistance
to change is when individuals or teams (either overtly or covertly) become a hindrance in the
way of a positive transformation, often for their own benefit(s).
Managing different forms of blockage and
resistance is central to the change process
Emotional engagement
Our approach is to pre-empt resistance to the greatest
extent possible.
Considerable effort is made to actively engage
executives, managers and employees in the process.
Winning their hearts and minds is key to success.
Once they are emotionally connected to the change,
they become champions of the process, not opponents.
While some forms of resistance are inevitable, we help
individuals and groups to work through their
challenges, and reduce their resistance.
We help create strong ‘champions of change’ — rather than resistors
Build critical ‘change foundations’
The importance of preparation
There are a number of steps that are necessary in preparing for any form of change.
The emphasis, nature and style of these steps is different in every project—depending on the organisational context.
The ability to deliver on quality change outcomes is directly proportional to the level of effort put into the preparation for it.
Becoming “change ready”
One of the biggest quandaries in managing change is knowing when to ‘formally start’ the process.
More often than not, it is launched without doing the necessary preparation — significantly increasing the risk of failure.
Becoming “change ready” is a necessary part of the process and provides a solid foundation for momentum to be built when the change formally begins.
We assist organisations to become truly “change ready”
Communicate change professionally
Effective communication changes perceptions
Communication ensures that the process of change and the rationale that underpins it is understood. It is the glue that holds the entire process together. Effective communication changes perceptions.
How we communicate
We use clean, sharp communication as a tool to impact and influence audience thinking.
Clear, undiluted messages that cut through ‘organisational noise’ open up and reinforce the pathway to change. Tapping into people’s minds and thought processes helps enable emotional engagement, drawing them into the process.
Clear, consistent and persuasive communication is how we
help people understand and accept change
Seize change opportunities
Change is more likely to succeed on the first attempt.
There are always exceptions, but, as a rule, it is significantly more
difficult to implement change on a second occasion.
And, even harder on the third. People lose confidence and are
much more reluctant to move forward after each successive
attempt.
This means that, in some organisations, there is little room for ‘false
starts’ and sub-optimal results. It is critical that change be
implemented in the best possible way on the first attempt.
We help organisations to maximise their
change opportunities and to realise
transformation, sooner
