TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE

Change is unavoidable and essential for any business to keep up with the market, competitors, and customer needs. Change management is about making incremental improvements. Transformation involves re-engineering the purpose, core capabilities, operations, and structure.

Change is unavoidable and essential for any business to keep up with the market, competitors, and customer needs. A business transformation or change initiative can have a huge, positive impact on the way your organisation functions, making it more efficient and profitable.

Change and transformation are frequently used interchangeably. Both methods are about implementing changes that affect all levels of the organisation but there are some critical differences between them. Change management is about making incremental improvements to existing business processes and functions and adjusting the way things work. On the other hand, transformation involves re-engineering the entire organisation’s purpose, core capabilities, operations, and structure to develop a new business model based on a vision. As such, they require much deeper integration across business functions and disciplines.

develop vision

To make a large-scale change an organisation needs to have a picture of the future state after changes have been made on various levels. Change visions should be simple, clear, and compelling. They should be easy for everyone on the team to understand, including lower-level employees and international colleagues.

create a roadmap

Change management is not a one-step process, but it is a systematic approach where the change must go through different stages. That’s why the change management plan needs a practical  roadmap that guides both the business and the project teams to achieve their goals. We will help you design the roadmap that suits your business for lasting change.

communicate

Get your team on board. Communication is a key strategy that serves to keep information flowing between employees, departments, and management. In order to successfully implement updates in your company, the reasons for change must be explained in advance on all levels of the organisation.

assemble your team

Don’t be afraid of getting help from business change consultants, as people who weren’t involved in your working process but are overseers may tell you what needs to be changed and how to do it properly. Change consultants have experience in working with companies like yours so can bring their knowledge to recommend particular changes that will work for your company.

deliver training

To get the best results from staff, involve them in the change process by delivering training for all levels of your workforce. When employees are informed and know what is expected of them, they are more likely to feel empowered and connected to the company’s day-to-day operations and goals.
