Change Management

Added value is based on dedicated and loyal employees

In order to realize the maximum possible benefit from project investment or integration due to M&A, organizations must be prepared to accept the changes brought about by projects on an organizational structure, as well as an individual level.

All organizations are faced with these challenges, but often assume that the organization will accept improvements brought about by new project implementations with open arms. Resistance to these changes, without the proper Change Management, can lead to severe pushback within the organizations to a point where the no benefit of project investment is achieved.

Our Change Management guides your processes and its connected project as well as the change across all levels.

How Westernacher can help

Westernacher advocates a structured Change Management approach in parallel with project execution. With a vision provided by many such implementations, Westernacher is able to help clients through the multi-step process of:

Understand means: We discuss different topics to understand the mission of the Change Management project, the capabilities of the people and the connected necessary changes considering the various affected groups as well as the backgrounds of prospective barriers. We define the principles of a Change Management project charter.

Agree means: Together with the affected groups and people we agree which change is necessary, the dimensions of change and how the change will be implemented. Additionally we create a Change Management action plan consisting of plans for communications, test and training as well as an implementation roadmap.

Communicate means: To conduct the communication plan.

Enable/create certainty means: Both the organization and the employees must be enabled to facilitate the needed measures for implementing the agreed change sustainable.

Implement means: We implement the processes and agreed change using our Process-, Project- and Change management approach.

Operate/change means: We guide the processes and change in the operative mode and improve the processes continuously where needed. Our models and approaches are completed by a set of tools, consisting of documents, checklists and templates.
