How to bring about authentic and sustainable changes
Change management plays a particularly important role for organisations that place their employees front and centre in their transformation process to achieve quantifiably better results. A company‘s success in the world of business hinges on its strategic agility as well as its ability to implement defined measures. In this context, strategies, processes, and technology on their own will not lead to success. Employees are the heart of the company, and it is up to them to accept, drive, and implement changes. People make up the competitive advantage that enables a company to sustainably differentiate itself in the market.
“Being able to change is no longer a matter for individual projects with a start and end date. It is now rather a matter of each company undergoing continuous development as a whole and overcoming the numerous obstacles that stand in the way in a complex and dynamic world.”
Change management as core competence
Is your company ready to take on the challenges on the road to digitalisation? Can you spell out your vision for transformation and do you know how this will alter your organisation? In what way will your personnel be affected by this change?
Our tried-and-tested four-stage process:
Align
Gets the team centred around a specific need for change or innovation. It is crucial for everyone to be in lock step when embarking on a change intervention.
Engage
Provide concrete ways for the team to engage, which will promote buy in by showing team members that they have a stake in the change.
Enable
Once we have an engaged culture, we enable a new way of working by using fresh knowledge, habits, and resources.
Evolve
Finally we measure and coach people on how to evolve by linking big goals to team, and individual, metrics that serve as leading indicators of the right behaviours.
