PEOPLE AND CHANGE CONSULTING

Today’s business agility requires organizations have an inspiring vision, trusted and committed leaders, an engaging employee experience, and the know-how to effectively respond. As you develop a new mindset on how to lead significant transformations through strong people alignment and preparation, we can help.

Building a change management mindset begins early in any effort – prior to development of new project ideas. It should begin with building an organization of leaders who understand:

• How to lead and manage change
• How the intersection of strategy, culture and job performance align within an organization
• How to embrace change-oriented talent, structures and tools
• How to engage, communicate and measure
• How to develop the right governance framework to make it work

This people-oriented foundation supports all your efforts going forward. It builds alliances, breaks down silos and provides the processes and tools your business needs to be successful.

Our change management services can help you build that strategic foundation and guide your most challenging enterprise, program and project-level people transformations. We’re strategic. We’re creative. We’re flexible. And we work with you not just to design but successfully implement change that creates lasting transformation.

Enterprise Change Management (ECM) is the practice of building your organization’s change capacity and capability – your muscles — so you can proactively enable change for competitive advantage.

Unfortunately, few leaders responsible for managing change come equipped with everything they need to lead their organizations through change consistently at the enterprise level.  

Your leaders face the challenge of creating and implementing the governance needed for transformation to take hold and succeed. They also must procure the right resources to manage change, whether technological tools or outside help. Finally, they must have their fingers on the organization’s pulse to know if employees are experiencing “change saturation.” 

In other words, leaders have a lot of work to do to promote change as a capability, not a liability, within your organization. Building an ECM capability can help. 

A thriving hybrid workplace is the future of work. To get there, your company needs a hybrid workplace strategy and it requires more than simply deciding where people work each day.

Organizations today are focused on ensuring their hybrid and remote work models are healthy, productive and engaging for the long run. Modern workers want an employer that combines virtual and in-person work – but only when working on-site makes sense. The right hybrid workplace strategy involves thoughtful planning and execution to maintain a strong company culture. But some of the most critical decisions are not always obvious and are not always easy to implement.

Future of work strategies must address key decisions about workplace vision, talent lifecycle, leading virtually,workplace collaboration and technology, real  estate, security, and digital process modernization to keep companies prosperous. Then the strategy must be put into action while guiding leaders and associates to realize the vision.
