Overview

Change is bigger than a project

In spite of the evidence, organisations repeatedly make the mistake of adding a change management component to their projects. This barely works out, if at all. Rather, organisations must manage change, which sometimes requires adding a project to the change program. This is the difference between marketing and training for your project or transforming your organisation through change to enable greater success.

How much would you gain if people got on board?

People get on board with change at different stages of the transformation. Initial innovators or senior executives who see the need or opportunity are often on board first. After that, people across the organisation, customers and stakeholders also embark. Sadly, it is common that many people don’t get on board. Some staff get dragged their heels, dampening progress and some investors and customers walk away, reducing the benefit change was meant to bring. The gains are eroded away.

The BASIC 8

This program draws on research, evidence and practice to address change as it really happens. The BASIC 8 framework combines phases with levels of responsibility and action. This is augmented by the lenses, modules focusing on the dynamics of different contexts of change.

The BASIC component maps out the predictable phases and the key issues to address for each.
The 8 component focuses on who needs to do what at each stage of the change.
The lenses provide modules that help identify and focus on the unique issues with different types of change.

Integrated Program Elements

The program combines layers to integrate the different avenues of learning available in organisations.

Seminars help leaders and teams to identify the key issues and frameworks, based on research, evidence and practice.
Coaching sessions help individual leaders or change leadership teams to manage the change processes they are dealing with.
On-the-job links to change processes help participants to apply the evidence and frameworks to real situations.

“Programs based primarily on the change drivers, ignoring the forces of resistance, are as prone to failure as those dealing primarily with the forces of resistance, ignoring the change drivers. What is needed is the choice of a change path based on a diagnosis of both the forces of change and resistance.”

Paul Strebel
