PEOPLE CHANGE

Equipping you to drive culturally aligned, innovative change programmes

PEOPLE CHANGE CHALLENGES

Digital transformation and challenging market conditions dictate that organisations need to operate differently. New behaviours, mindsets and ways of working are required to unlock greater productivity, innovation and speed – all while protecting the employee experience.

It is widely acknowledged that around 70% of change projects fail and this statistic is not budging. We help organisations improve their change ROI by better aligning leadership, designing employee experience-led change approaches, and ultimately helping establish trust, cutting through change fatigue and truly engaging people towards a vision.

OUR CAPABILITIES

Organisations find it hard to transform especially when resorting to traditional approaches or off-the-shelf methodologies for delivering people change. We will work with you to facilitate the right blend of innovation and pragmatism to ensure you invest in interventions that deliver the most value. Our team brings empathy and rapid experimentation techniques to partner with you across your people change agenda to ensure the change sticks.

change management

Change management / ChAgile®

Design and deploy change programmes that connect with and support your people to align their collective energy towards your purpose. We adapt to the organisational context and apply either more traditional approaches or ChAgile®, a more agile, people-centric and experimental way of working.

Strategic change capability

Enhance your organisational change capability to drive greater returns from your transformation portfolio. Using proven approaches, develop your capability blueprint and roadmap, and create the tools, skills and confidence to achieve it.

culture change

Culture change

A healthy culture can unify your teams, make a positive impression on customers and help drive sustainable competitiveness. From diagnostic to blueprint development and creating people-centred interventions, enable your teams to move to a more productive state.
