BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION
Organisational change is a constant, and the ability to manage this well is a standard part of doing business. Research from McKinsey, Harvard Business Review and Towers Watson, demonstrate that the people side of change determines the ultimate success or failure of your change program.
With a 25-year background in business psychology, the team at SMG understand the neurological factors that influence change readiness, adaptability and resilience.
BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION
It is essential to ensure that staff and managers have the tools and resources that they need to adapt and thrive. Understanding the people side of change is vital for the executive team’s situational awareness.
At SMG we use specialised diagnostic tools to assess the change experience. This provides a barometer of the business, and specific examples of what management need to do to embed the change and support their teams.
business transformation
The most critical period in implementing successful change and business transformation is in the preparation phase. SMG takes a coaching-led approach by applying a proven 5E’s methodology. We help build the leadership habits and behaviours that over time, precipitate an organisational culture that delivers high performance and continuous improvement.
01
We work with senior leaders to identify the burning platform for change and ensure Executive alignment with the desired change.
02
We use a diagnostic approach that includes a culture assessment tool to provide an accurate assessment of existing behaviours and perceptions.
03
When leaders are not championing the change, the change initiative comes off the rails. Therefore, a crucial step in the change process is ensuring senior leaders have embraced the change journey rationally and emotionally.
04
We employ a powerful facilitated peer-to-peer learning methodology with groups of leaders to cultivate the trust, candour, accountability and commitment to collectively lead and drive the desired behaviours across the organisation.
05
By the end of the change journey leaders at every level of the organisation have the behavioural attributes and mutual accountabilities to sustain and embed the ways of working.
