Enabling Change

Why it matters:

The ability to help teams and individuals thrive in the face of business change is critical for sustained success and longevity in an ever-changing landscape.

Now more than ever we are hearing, seeing and using the word ‘uncertainty,’ not just in business but in society. Uncertainty is a common side effect of business change, and many employees report finding it increasingly more difficult to navigate.

It is little surprise that decades of research make similar claims, that organisations are still struggling to get this right. From John Kotter’s research in the nineties to McKinseys survey two decades later, it is suggested that around 70% of change programmes don’t succeed. Low management support and high employee resistance are among the reasons why.

​What’s our focus:

We want to help our participants develop the skills, qualities, and mindset to better steer themselves and others through ongoing and continual business change.

Enabling employees and managers to simultaneously develop change readiness and resilience requires a two-tier approach of supporting others, and simultaneously feeling supported.

We also advocate creating a sense of ongoing participation in change at all levels of the organisation through regular facilitated discussion.

How we can help:

Our change enablement products help team members become more agile in the face of change and understand the range of common reactions and responses we all have in various change scenarios.

We also help people managers build confidence in their ability to facilitate regular supportive, and sense-making conversations with their teams.

On top of this, we support senior managers in the crafting of meaningful change narratives as well as how to build buy-in and maintain momentum, particularly in more turbulent settings.
