What we do

Change management services for ambitious businesses

We don’t just talk about what your future could be, we make it a reality

Out with the old … in with the new

If you’re like most organisations, you know you need to change the way you do business, you just don’t know how.

Achieving sustained business change means getting rid of old-fashioned thinking and ways of working.

Reframing the way you think about business change to business transition. And with a focus on people, not processes. 

This was an incredibly challenging project in which Julian and his team showed incredible determination, focus and resilience under testing circumstances.

They delivered the first phase of a new digital tool, but more importantly they were instrumental in shifting the attitude and mindset of employees to embrace new ways of working and more flexible ways of thinking.

How we do it

A simple three-step framework that delivers sustainable change

Our winning process is deceptively simple.

Cycles of Presence, Planning and Performing and a backdrop of constantly learning, communicating and monitoring.

And it all begins with establishing your business position, as it is.

Step 1

Presence

To get to where you want to be, you have to know where you are now:

  • Your current in-house capability and any skills gaps

  • The outcomes you are looking for

  • Your organisation’s readiness for change.

Step 2

Planning

Working out what we are going to do together involves:

  • Building your in-house capability through coaching and training

  • Planning the next stage of work bearing in mind the desired outcomes

  • Developing change readiness in your team.

Step 3

Performing

Putting things into action sees us:

  • Working out how best to collaborate

  • Combining your skills with ours to achieve successful change

  • Ongoing coaching/training for your teams so you continue to develop new internal capabilities.

Julian’s idea to create a private website for members of the Business User Group community was brilliant.

It made our change advocates around the world feel really included in our plans while giving us the feedback we needed from different countries, which all helped make the change programme a global success.

Best fit

Change when your business needs it most

Our experience shows that the best results are with organisations that recognise themselves in the following:

1.

Your company has to change

Whether you want to or not – but you’re not sure how

2.

You've heard about ‘Agile’

But don't know how it would work for you

3.

You're ambitious – and not scared of big numbers

Achieving transformational change isn't cheap!

4.

Most importantly, you're willing to take a different approach

Because working with us is not like working with other business change consultants.
