Organizational Transformation Consulting
Change is a constant in today’s business world. More than 45% of CEOs believe their companies will not be economically viable in 10 years if they do not change their current course.[1] Yet, research shows most organizational transformation efforts fail.
Organizations fall short on transformation efforts for multiple reasons. Lack of a clear, well-defined strategy. Inability to adapt the strategy based on feedback. Lack of communication. An inability to overcome resistance to change. Poor cultural support. And failing to create short-term wins on the path to change.
Creating a winning
organizational transformation strategy
We partner with our clients to tackle organizational transformation with the help of a cross-functional strategy that aligns and engages stakeholders on organizational goals.
To effectively engage stakeholders, leaders need to articulate a vision for the future as well as clear “what’s in it for me” messages to employees. Strategic vision, goals, progress and action items need to be digestible and resonate at all levels of the organization.
Our approach to change
As we work with leaders to develop a holistic and integrated change management strategy, we:
Align on key strategic shifts and vision, developing a core narrative and key messages reflective of the overall transformation effort
Outline potential risks and provide guidance on ways to address these risks both internally and externally
Provide ongoing strategic counsel to leaders and organizational transformation offices, as key decisions and timing are finalized
Facilitate strategic alignment and change planning workshops for leaders and transformation offices
Share insight on how this process will affect brand/culture and conduct exercises to help strengthen their identity through these changes
Create a sustainable and customized collection of resources to support the transformation for the long-term
Develop a strategic multi-stakeholder communications plan and corresponding communications cascades
Provide onsite support to address real-time needs for day one / launch milestones
Organizational transformation that works
Whether it’s organizational transformation, leadership transitions or mergers and acquisitions, companies need to thoughtfully and proactively engage stakeholders at all levels of their organization and create a path to change that everyone in the organization can follow.
Leading a successful change management effort requires focus, commitment as well as the agility to adapt to feedback as change is being implemented. A change effort is quite literally a journey, and requires continuous efforts to communicate short-term wins, remind people where they are in the process and evaluate progress. We have supported leaders across multiple types of change, and have the tools and experience to help clients transform their organizations to meet the challenges ahead.
