Improving Performance and Dealing with Change
Whether you are considering, in the midst of, or recovering from change that is continuous, bumpy or discontinuous, we can help. We specialise in the improvement of performance and the productivity of people particularly where cultural change is required.
There are many factors at work in cultural change. New leadership can naturally bring about cultural change as new ideas, knowledge and experiences are brought onboard. External and internal challenges can also create a need for cultural change to improve business growth and performance. Many organisations may experience:
A decline in profits and revenues
Low standards of customer service
Inadequate returns on investment
Change of ownership
Technological or competitor changes in the market place
Global economic conditions
Political or legal regulations
Changing an entrenched culture can be a tough task. We believe every organisational culture has many strengths and that managing change and adapting to new environments requires thoughtful planning, sensitive implementation - and above all, consultation with, and involvement of, the people affected by the changes.
We work with organisations to aid the understanding of existing cultural assets and make the most of the positives. Through assessment, measurement and development, we strive to create a feeling of shared evolution as your resilient culture evolves to allow free adaptation and prosperity in our uncertain environment.
We help teams:
Involve and agree support from people within the system
Understand where the organisation is at the moment
Understand where you want to be, when, why, and what the measures will be for having got there
Plan the development in appropriate, achievable, measurable stages
Communicate and involve people, as early and as openly as possible
Our initial one day change management course looks at the fundamentals of process, culture and personal change using a range of resilience tools and techniques that can help build resilient teams that can create effective strategies and processes to develop and allow an increase in adaptation, people performance and organisational value.
