"Does Your Business Make This Same Mistake? 

Most Businesses Think That By Having A Change Programme In Place They Guarantee The Chance of Success."

 

Here's The Big Shock - Business change has a 1 in 3 chance of success - and that's being optimistic.  So why is that? 

 

If you look around at the current economic climate and see what is happening it's easy to see that some businesses are doing really well because they know how to create flexibility and can adapt to the changing fortunes in the economy.  Other businesses are adopting a "batten down the hatches and ride out the storm" approach.  Some businesses are also 'implementing' change programmes to restructure their business. 

 

Are you one of the smart businesses that knows that creating change through business transition is the answer?  Or do you still labour under the false belief that having a Change Management Programme will guarantee you results and think that you can 'implement' change to achieve success? 

 

Can you say yes to any of these 3 questions:

  • My business has spent 100s of thousands of pounds on a change programme that didn't deliver it's objective
  • We've just downsized but are still losing money and customers and staff morale is at rock bottom
  • Innovation and creativity are stifled because everyone is worried about job security and what the future holds so no one will take risks

If so, then the chances are that you've either 'implemented' some sort of change recently or know that something has to change to improve your performance otherwise the business will fail.

 

Creating Change Through Business Transition

 

At Ascent2Change you can rely on us to help you create the climate to develop flexibility to change.  The lifecyle of change starts at the top:  the purpose, vision, mission and values.  Then you work out how these get translated into strategies.  Organisational flexibility is created by people who work in the business so we help you identify what will make the difference in helping transition your business from the present to the future and beyond.

 

The changes you want to make in your business are events that definitely need to be planned and organised - but the hearts, minds and beliefs of the people who will help you deliver that change are what makes it work.  'Implementing' change can be and  is counterproductive - speak to the 2 out of 3 businesses who've tried it!  Similarly, 'managing change' stifles creativity just at a time when innovation and creativity are needed most.

Is Change The Soft And Fluffy Stuff?

 

Here's the big shock - YES change is about the soft and fuffy stuff - what makes us all tick; the psycyhological impact of events.   And it's about understanding how people respond to changes around them so you can work out success strategies for helping them transition to something different. 

 

Does That Mean It's About Tea And Sympathy?  Absolutely NOT. 

 

Soft and fluffy doesn't mean tea and sympathy.  The thing about creating change through business transition is that you develop specific, outcome based strategies for working with the psychological processes that we all experience when coping with changing events around us.  The difference about change in an organisational setting is that in large, multi-site, multi-national businesses tranistioning large numbers of people requires specific skill sets - most of which are about understanding social and group dynamics and how to influence and work with people as they experience the process of transition.  So it's about making intelligent decisions about what actions to take to facilitate the change. 

 

So, What Can You Do And How Can We Help You?

 

Ascent2Change helps you understand what happens to people transitioning through change and co-creates with you the strategies and practical approaches to increase the chances of successful transition,  based on how people tick.  You will find that creating change through transition is a simple concept - but it's not straightforward and requires your organisation and you to have insight, boldness and firm resolve to creatively foster a positive experience that achieves desired outcomes.

Ascent2Change focuses on working with innovative, creative and dynamic organsiations looking to make lasting change.  Are you this type of organisation?
