Introduction

Change can be difficult, preparation doesn’t have to be. Success in organizational change depends on a good plan, and competent execution. Mandrien Consulting Group developed a methodology for transforming organizations and transition to help businesses achieve success during acquisition of other companies, reorganization, or rollouts.

Change management is also key  for business process optimization, technology systems are updated or any sweeping organizational transformation occurs. All of these situations impact the people that make up the organization, and must be considered and planned for. Doing so fosters acceptance within the workforce, with less negative impact on productivity. There is no substitute for having the knowledge, process and experience of a world-class organizational transformation and change management consulting company, like Mandrien Consulting Group.

Our Approach to Managing Change

Our infrastructure helps our clients prepare effectively for transforming their organizations, avoiding the many possible mistakes that might compromise success. We begin with the development of a road map for the change. The road map charts the course, every step of the way, from your present model to the new organization. The result: a transitional plan that is deliberate and complete. You can decide on the implementation, with or without assistance from us.

When business processes need to be updated, the Mandrien Consulting Group approach derives from the study of behavioral science. The evaluation of people, the model and organizational performance help to solidify the connections between the four major components of the business stuctures:

*Strategy

*Structure

*People

*Process

When these components are analyzed and planned for thoroughly, focusing on profitability, optimal performance is attainable. Transformations are often met with resistance/push back from middle management all the way to the top. Members of the organization must alter their way of thinking, obtain new skills, and tackle unfamiliar situations. Often, unclear expectations and other negative factors accompany the change management process.

When it comes to transforming your organization, there are four key factors that determine the outcome of the management of change:

1.How the goal of the process, as well as organizational vision and urgency, are communicated within the organization.

2.How the organization uses its power centers to create organizational support.

3. Leaders understanding of human behavior and, how it affects staff motivations.

4.How the transformation is planned.

 

The Mandrien Consulting Group  approach accomplishes these tasks:

*Contributes to the needed “sense of urgency”

*Identifies and builds the “transformation team”

*Facilitates the development of transformation vision and strategy

*Addresses communication requirements/strategies

*Assists in removing obstacles to change, by creating empowered players in the process

*Excites team members with visible progress, via metrics/ short-term successes

*Solidifies change with performance and productivity goals

 

Four major phases of transition exist in the organizational world. This paradigm represents an inevitable process, which will run its course. By employing the change management steps outlined in our process and the guidance given by Mandrien Consulting Group, our goal is to shorten the cycle time, and bring your organization to the Commit stage promptly.
