Change Management

Increasingly, an organization’s ability to respond and adapt quickly while providing increased stability in the midst of change is a great leverage point for achieving sustainable competitive advantage.

Common examples of these challenges include the following.

Cultural shifts: such as from directive to participative management styles, or from hierarchical to team based management and decision-making
Structural shifts: such as from more centralized to more decentralized operations (and back again!), or from downsizing to rehiring
Strategic shifts in focus: such as from quality improvement to cost cutting or from product focus to client focus.

Many change efforts follow a predictable pattern likely to lead organizations down paths filled with frustration, resistance, and ultimately preservation of the status quo. After compelling arguments are developed as to why change is needed, a plan for getting from “where you are now” to “where you want to be” is viewed as the solution, with implementing the strategy seen as the last step.
