Enhancing Results with Change Management
There are plenty of projects that meet all the (technical) requirements, but do not deliver results. Without proper application of technology in the daily work, companies miss out because of unleveraged potential and the outcomes of your software won’t be realized. Yet many companies assume that doing good project management is enough - or they limit change management to training. However, if the benefits of the project are tied to people changing the way they work, launching a technical solution and sending them to training won’t get you far, leading to a lack of tangible results.
Investment in Change Management is crucial to make sure the project will deliver its intended results. Companies who do not apply Change Management may experience:
- Higher costs through misuse of technology
- Reduced company benefits
- Decreased motivation for future changes
- Increased employee turnover
Our Vision
How do you guide and prepare your workforce properly? There is no one answer to that question – it depends on your project, your people, and your organization.
ORTEC’s Change Management team is Prosci certified. Prosci believes that ‘Organizational outcomes are the result of individual change,' and so do we. That’s why we will look at your unique change project through this lens too. The impacted people play a central role in our approach and with the selection of activities and interventions for your project, we will always strive to:
- Minimize the number of opt-outs or workarounds.
- Explain why we do the things we do, so that next time you might organize the change yourself.
- Ensure your team is effectively utilizing new solutions to attain key performance indicators and realize ROI.
Our Process
Starting with the end in mind, what does success look like and how do we measure that? We then take those answers and break them down further: What does this mean to all the impacted people? We’ll also dive into the following questions:
- How healthy is your project? Does it have all the essential components to ensure tangible results?
- How ready is your organization for this change?
- Are there any risks we need to anticipate?
The answers to these questions provide the basis for the change management approach. From there on, we can start drawing up action plans. Think about effective activation of leadership in their sponsor role, involving the (right) departments, support training, organizing knowledge resources, streamlining communication, and regularly checking in with your performance.
