Underfunded and often overlooked, transition to Business As Usual is one of the most important steps in any successful change programme. We will help you embed and sustain change.
Transition Management
Transition Management is a powerful tool. If you switch the old way of working off on a Friday and switch the new way of working on the following Monday, how do you know it will be successful? Transition Management is all about decreasing the risk of disastrous consequences for the operational performance of the organisation.
Our experts can analyse and plan, ensuring that scarce funding is not unnecessarily spent on legacy systems and that a reversionary mode remains in place as a fall back option until the new ways of working have become BAU.
Benefits Measurement
Our Business Change Managers will work with your nominated staff in order to optimise business benefits achieved, maximise user adoption and minimise business disruption.
We have worked on a spectrum of change initiatives from cultural change through to business change in some of Europe’s largest corporate business systems rollouts. Our experts have benchmarked business benefits and ROI declared by the user community against industry analysts such as Gartner. We have undertaken Benefits Realisation Management associated with effective change management.
It’s a powerful position to be in with your financiers when you can justify programme expenditure against business benefits declared by the business and benchmark this favourably against industry analysts' reports.
Continuous Improvement
Feedback loops are a common phenomenon in nature helping to self-regulate systems, but they are often missing in business. Lessons learnt are often not captured and less frequently collated for dissemination across your organisation.
Our systems analysts are experienced in looking for the missing link. Working with you, we will analyse your processes and technologies to ensure that a continuous improvement regime is implemented. We are experts at helping you implement Capability Maturity Models (for example in assessing Safety Culture or Programme Management Capability) in order to provide you with a clear roadmap to achieving best-in-class status. Be the best. Continuously improve.
Operational efficiency gains
Our Associates in process analysis and stakeholder engagement have achieved significant savings for our clients. We have employed ‘hard’ analytical techniques such as Six Sigma analysis and Lean Thinking through to more intuitive techniques such as Systems Dynamics Modelling. We have a track record of stripping out savings from back-office processes. Our Organisational Development experts can assess your current structure and model future structures in order to present options to the Board for operational efficiency savings. We work through the OD options together taking onboard staff concerns and invaluable insights.
