Organisational Change

Clearly the best professional development that I have had for a long time.

Client challenge

“We’ve embarked on change programmes in the past but they have not really achieved their goals”.

Our response

Traditional approaches to change management have a poor track record of success, they assume that change can be controlled and managed using the same planning, structure and processes as any project.

In truth, organisational change is often chaotic and its pace and progress are dependent on the unique characteristics, culture and resources of each organisation within its unique context.

Our approach

We use and teach a ‘systems orientated’ approach to change. By seeing the whole as well as the parts and the interrelationships between different levels in your system, we can help you achieve your goals more efficiently, more effectively and with less stress and turmoil. Best of all, when we leave, you will have these skills to employ again and again as new challenges arise.

Just some of the ways we might work with you

Creating forums for people to explore their experiences and clarify their goals
Developing the emotional intelligence of the organisation so that people can approach change with more curiosity and less anxiety
Mapping the helping and hindering factors across the system and identifying the ones to modify
On going facilitating of learning sets or action groups to test new ideas, amplify and spread success
Coaching for chief executives and senior management teams to help them shape a climate that reduces fear and anxiety and nurtures creativity and responsiveness
Training in change agent skills and strategies for HR professionals, change leaders and change agents
Providing techniques to resolve conflict as it inevitably arises
Working with the phases of development of the organisation and choosing the appropriate actions for each phase (includes leadership style, membership roles and responsibilities and communication structure).
