How to become "Change-Able"
$50 billion. That's what the Fortune 500 spends on change initiatives every year—from new software implementations to re-orgs to post-merger & acquisition integration.
30%. That's how many companies meet their objectives. Given that poor ROI, isn't it time to try a new approach to change?
Change Engineering integrates financial analysis, strategic planning, process design and performance management, with proven approaches to change management.
The end result? Change harnessed and directed to support bottom-line goals.
So how does Change Engineering work?
- Change: define the "delta"—the exact before and after impacts on strategies, processes, technology, organizations and finances
- Engineering: fact-based, model-driven approach to problem solving, understanding the "drag" and "thrust" of change
Change Engineering is a new way to think about change and its impacts:
- Financial: How much does change cost? And what's the value?
- Operational: What, how, and to what extent should you change?
- Organizational: Are stakeholders—including customers, front-line employees and management—ready, willing, and able to change?
- Temporal: How fast can you implement change? And how soon can you realize value from change?
Are You Capable of Change?
Everyone talks about change and innovation, but few companies approach change in a methodical way, or learn how to change. We believe the ability to change is a skill that can—and must—be developed. Change Engineering cultivates this "change-ability."
Specifically, Change Engineering:
- Breaks down common barriers to change—like lack of coordination and unclear metrics
- Drives operational and organizational change from within, enabling lasting performance improvements
- Is proactive and forward-looking, as opposed to historically passive and reactive approaches to change management
- Goes beyond the obvious consulting answers, to reach alternative solutions that are well thought-out.
Change Engineering incorporates the principles and best practices of business process engineering, Organizational Change Management, project and program management and financial and operational analysis.
