The only thing that is constant is change

Living in the disruptive age change is ever constant and can be triggered from many sources:

 

External TRIGGERS:

• Faster production possibilities
• Scarcity of resources
• Focus on core competencies
• Globalization
• Ecology
• Customers
• Competitors
• Technological progress
• Economy

 

Internal Triggers:

• Corporate strategy
• Past Decisions
• Demographics and social influences
• New management concepts
• Inefficient processes
• Management
• Employees
• Organisational development

 

Implementing change however is very hard and successful change is not guaranteed.

 

We help our clients define and implement change through a four step process:

Analyse

 

The diagnosis of what changes are required:

 

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS

• Who is affected to which the extent?

 

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS

• The extent and threat level do the necessary changes have for those affected?

 

ANALYSIS OF PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE

• The ongoing ability and willingness to change?

 

Determining the TYPE OF CHANGES.

• If it is only to a structural change or a change in culture?

 

 

Plan

Development of a Change Strategy and Plan:

 

• Specification of objectives for change
• Preliminary design of the change process
• Development of content solutions
• Define roles and tasks, and determine the change manager
• Time and benefits Planning
• Planning of the communication strategies and methods of changes
• Plan the measures how to deal with resistance, conflicts and crises

 

Implement

Implementation of the agreed Change Plan:

 

• Develop a change awareness among stakeholders (Transparency and impart knowledge)
• A (positive) change of attitude presumes that there is awareness of the benefits of the new approach
• Change of attitude
• Change of behavior

 

 

Review

Evaluating the results:

 

• Regular measurement of results
• Publication
• Communicate successes
