Transforming Your Business: The Power of Effective Change Management
Transforming Your Business: The Power of Effective Change Management
In the past several years, we’ve seen competition intensify in the marketplace, employee expectations increase and digital disruption become more prevalent, stretching organizations thin. Digital transformation programs often struggle amongst this complexity, making it more critical than ever to focus on sustainable change for long-lasting success.
Research has shown that utilizing effective change management results in a higher likelihood of transformations reaching their objectives on-time and on-budget. Organizations no longer believe employee resistance is due to the solution being implemented, and instead are realizing resistance is related to the organization’s culture, prior experience with change, and misinformation.
BDO Digital’s Change Management Framework takes the guess work out of navigating the complex change experience; informed by years of real-world experience and Prosci’s industry-leading research. Our team has collaborated with clients of various sizes and in diverse industries, transforming complex changes into tangible results.
Defining Change Management
While technology itself offers numerous benefits, it is ultimately the people who need to embrace and effectively utilize the solution for business value realization. Change management is a structured process with a set of tools that are used to carry out the people side of change. Effective change management allows you to achieve outcomes faster, with less friction, and with a higher likelihood of success.
Effective change management strategies achieve success by incorporating the following:
- Strong leadership and alignment on the vision for the future state
- Clarity on how the change effort aligns with the organization’s strategy
- Alignment between individual beliefs and organization’s values regarding the transformation
- A skilled workforce with the right knowledge and capabilities to support the transformation
- Proactive plans to manage people resistance
- Effective communication strategies
- Defined business and outcome metrics to determine success and support with long-term sustainability
Change is often difficult, and without expertise, transformations are at a higher risk of requiring more time and budget, as well as increasing the likelihood of employee resistance. BDO Digital’s Change Management consultants provide a structured process aimed at ensuring your digital transformation achieves its desired goals.
