Portfolio, Program and Project Change Management
Following traditional change management support to Portfolio, Programs and Projects, Prentice Consulting has a breadth of experience in change of this nature. With our associated specialists we offer business transition and transformation support across the Project lifecycle: business case; change strategy, planning and management ; communications; benefits management; training design and delivery; user experience; and transition support to help “make the change stick”.
Organisational Change Management
Strategic and Operational
Change is inevitable in an organisation. How you respond to it will determine the success of the change and the yield of associated benefits. Change can be managed proactively however it is often managed reactively, if at all. Of course it is our preference to manage change, which to minimise resistance and chaos. Even better still is to support you as you proactively manage the change.
Organisational change management includes organisational restructures; introduction and updating of performance management frameworks; talent management; the process and people components of mergers and acquisitions; process improvement, mapping and re-engineering; and support and development of your leadership team.
Prentice Consulting can support you through the change, and with our associated specialists can work with staff, managers and leaders across the business to help you manage change behaviours and attitudes, that is changes to organisational culture. We can also work with you to develop your change strategy, planning and implementation.
Change Impact Analysis
Not understanding the change or the impact the change is going to have on an organisation will ensure that benefits are not realised. We will work with your team and facilitate high level change impact analysis to help you understand the magnitude of the change, and your business analysts and subject matter experts to undertake a detailed change impact analysis. This will allow you to effectively plan and drive your change.
We understand that sometimes the management of the change has been overlooked initially. For many clients, this is often the first point in understanding the magnitude of the change. Please contact Prentice Consulting to find out more.
Change Management Audits
We can help you identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and indeed threats in your existing change activities. We will undertake a thorough and honest assessment of your organisation’s ability to drive and achieve change. We won’t just identify what is and isn’t working; we will define and recommend the best ways to move forward.
Change Readiness Assessments
We can provide an independent, impartial view of whether or not your project is change-ready for implementation and transition to your business.
Change Management Frameworks, Tools and Templates
We can provide you with the framework, tools and templates to help you manage your organizational and/or cultural change. We will coach your leadership/management teams or change champions so you can manage change yourselves and only have to rely on external resources for expert advice and quality assurance. This can be a long term or short relationship, it’s up to you and your business needs.
Change Coaching
If you have identified leaders within your organisation, we will provide coaching to help them more effectively lead, manage and achieve change. We can provide seminars or one-on-one coaching to develop effective communication, teamwork, successful networking, performance management, goal setting and appropriate workplace behaviours.
