There are times in the life cycle of every organisation when it could benefit from a re-think about its aims and objectives and its operational methodology. At such times, it is often difficult to ‘see the wood from the trees’ as management is simply too close to what is happening now and often has too much invested and at stake in the status quo. This is the point at which an experienced organisational development and change management consultant can bring huge added value to the organisation by facilitating and guiding you through an open discussion process to help you understand where the organisation is in the development cycle.
Once the management team fully understands ‘where they are’, it is then possible to decide the next strategic objective and to establish the tactical plans that will get you there – again, a facilitator is needed to assist everyone in staying focused. Finally, there is the process of managing the change between the current and new operational models. This last step is absolutely critical to the success of the change process – and it is often where it all goes wrong. Making constructive use of the skills and advice of an experienced change management consultant can make all the difference between success and failure.
