Our Approach to Change Management

While we build a custom approach for every project and meet you where you are, our typical change management consulting process follows a combination of these steps:

Discover Assess, evaluate, and anticipate organizational and stakeholder readiness, ability, and capacity to undergo required change. This part of the change management process includes an assessment of the change and the impact it will have on individuals and the organization. The results provide us with a clear foundation to understand and customize change activities.

Define Develop the high-level approach for change management with all stakeholders: sponsors, employees, program managers, project teams, sales, customers, and others. This is where we define the change plan, communications strategy, governance, risks, resources, and a clear vision of the end-state.

This foundation will support and guide all change activities and ensure we have a sound, repeatable approach to all changes throughout the life of the project.

The Tools You Need to Navigate Change

Leader & Employee Listening

Conduct listening sessions to get insights into employee and leader expectations of communication during change and identify differences in expectations between various levels and roles. As a result, we synthesize themes, core takeaways and develop an action plan or adjust plans as needed based on findings.

messagemap™

Named "Product of the Year" by SABRE, the messagemap™ methodology is a must-have tool for any organization to ensure alignment around key strategies, initiatives, and changes before it's time to communicate. It's designed to keep messages organized, consistent, and concise, saving internal communications teams dozens of hours when developing communications throughout the year.

Change Communication Plan

Creating a change management communication plan starts with a deep understanding of the organization, stakeholders, and change impacts. The goal is to support the business objective by helping stakeholders understand the change, how they will need to adapt their day-to-day responsibilities, and what is expected of them. It provides a clear roadmap for consistently communicating with employees so they feel informed about what’s changing and the organization’s goals so they can take action and help achieve those goals.

Interactive Strategy Tools

We align leaders and employees on the most important elements of the strategy and culture with signature tools including a visual one-page strategy framework, and a multi-page, easy-to-read, interactive format for tablets and/or smartphones that hones in on the details, toolkits for leaders, roadshow decks, and more. These strategy tools ensure leaders speak the same language and employees hear consistent messaging so they can understand it, know how they fit in, and can deliver on the strategy.

Ultimate Leader Tools™

A suite of proven methodologies designed to equip leaders at every level with the skills they need to connect with employees and their fellow leaders, driving business results through enhanced communications. Each tool serves a unique purpose and provides leaders with powerful solutions to drive change in their teams and in their organizations. The tools are available for license in toolkits, as part of training, and on their own.
