We view change management as a science, as a set of integrated actions that can be taken to ensure the changes in a known, controlled direction. To us, change management can be planned, organized, directed, led, and controlled to desired results.

The following high-level approach has a robust set of quantitative and qualitative assessment tools in each phase. We will introduce these items as they are needed and tailor them for each organization's situation.

Evaluate & Identify:

• Conduct a thorough assessment of the current leadership and business environment.
• Evaluate the organization's performance.
• Validate the organization's goals and objectives.
• Assess current structure, processes, infrastructure, and people against your stated goal, and determine their ability to generate your desired results.

Strategize & Build Capacity:

• Identify the gaps between the organization's vision and current state.
• Identify the projects, resources and timing to close the gaps.
• Build a centralized support team.

Actualize & Learn:

• Create a comprehensive roadmap to define the steps necessary to close the gaps between the current business state and strategic objectives.
• Determine realistic pace depending upon availability of resources, other projects, expected outcome timing.
• Build the skills and infrastructure necessary to accomplish the strategic objectives.
• Evaluate barriers to performance, and generate solutions to remove performance barriers in conjunction with implementation.
• Perform according to implementation roadmap.
• Monitor implementation roadmap and the organization's ability to absorb changes.
• Work with executive management to report implementation activities, and correct course of action as appropriate.

Evaluate & Improve:

• Evaluate your success and determine next steps.
• Continue to review and improve upon successes of the implementation effort.
• Support staff in practicing new behaviors so they become "organizational norm" rather than part of a temporarily change effort.
