Our Values

We enable our clients to create sustainable change

We seek innovative ideas - success is a function of the ability to change  

We always act with absolute integrity  

We strive for excellence in everything we do

We treat everyone with  respect  

 

Many consultancies try to rigorously impose a 'standard' change methodology on all clients, irrespective of the nature or culture of the client's organisation or of the nature of the current required change.

Apart from the obvious learning curve that this forces on the client organisation's managers and staff, often this leads to an early mismatch between the objectives of the consultant and those of the client.

At Change¦unction we select the most appropriate support tools from our 'change toolkit' to enable changes to be implemented as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

Working with the client we seek to understand the nature of their organisation - it's managers and individuals : it's processes and it's politics, the business drivers for the change, the desired outcomes and, most importantly, the potential impact on customers, managers, staff and other stakeholders.

Once these elements are understood (and the process often also helps to clarify these things for the client by the way) then we will look at the potential obstacles and barriers to change alongside the things that will enable change to be effective.

By understanding all this, with the client we can form a plan to build a bridge from the old to the new.

The real 'power tool' in our toolkit is our ability to facilitate managers and team members to understand, commit to and manage the change for themselves.

We are pragmatic about change, not dogmatic.  We are adaptable and flexible. (When did you ever experience a plan that went exactly according to the initial specification?) We listen and respond to client needs and ideas - it's their organisation we are helping to change after all.

We consider all our change programmes as opportunities to transfer repeatable organisational change management skills to our client's people and to this end we seek to work in partnership with all the participants in the change from the most senior leaders to the most junior new starter.
