I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.
- Georg C. Lichtenberg
We have found that many practitioners and leaders in business are not confident in implementing change effectively in their organisations. If you take into account the statistics of 70% + failure of change initiatives then it makes sense, be it chicken or egg enterprises are not confident undertaking change and historically don’t do it well.
A reflection of this is that we are constantly being asked to undertake the change design and implementation projects for enterprises. Here at the Change Management Toolbox our objective is to build your capability rather than have us come in for long term (dependent) consulting.
Consistent with this we have developed a number of offerings ranging from:
Parnership consulting where:
- We work with people from within your organisation to understand the real issues
- Engage the people to help them understand the business need and co-create a future consistent with that need
- Work with you and your people to create clear, aligned, outcomes focused action plans
Flexible tailored programs focused at skill building:
To Facilitate the development of your capability we have developed a number of programs that are designed to be used with either:
- Intact project teams – to get all members working towards the common objective especially in the areas of:
- shared clarity of objective
- understanding of learning before, during and after
- shared role clarity
- clear accountability and responsibility
- integrated Project/Change plan
- clear governance and measures addressing both tangible and intangible issues
- ensuring reflection and collaboration processes are built into project practice
- Organisational Leaders – helping them understand the ways that they can engage their people in:
- deconstructing what has occurred – learning before
- processing what we can learn from those experiences
- building a future to ensure the mistakes of the past are not just identified, they are learned from and not repeated
- ensuring their project management process includes an integrated project/change plan with appropriate tangible and intangible measures
- HR practitioners and Change Managers/Champions:
- providing an environment where the application of tools and frameworks are applied in a contextually relevant environment
- developing capability to work across silos to enhance collaboration, knowledge and practice sharing
- understanding key reasons why change initiatives fails and what approaches can assist in maximising success
- developing their capability to enable them to work with Project teams and Leaders to undertake the above programs within their own organisation
Our approach has a value add component to maximise your teams development, by having an inbuilt coaching component to enable ongoing development and application of the skills learnt. Many of our workshops have an optional component where an inhouse community of practice is created around the area of development to ensure the ongoing learning within the organisation. these programs are of course flexible in their design and delivery depending on your business, capability and requirements.
