The end of the beginning
Face it: operationalizing change is HARD work. Usually inglorious. It requires efforts on several fronts over extended periods of time, and contrary to human desire, rarely can real change happen with the flip of a switch.
When you work with Aveus we make sure you’re capable of carrying forward new improvements, of fully operationalizing the change you’re making long after we finish an engagement. We do this in several ways:
Implementation teams
Using small (typically 3 - 5 people), highly-skilled teams that work onsite, side-by-side with your staff, we drive the change process, monitor results, and adjust actions until the right outcomes are achieved. It is not unusual for our implementation teams to achieve performance improvements that are three to five times the investment in our services - often significantly more.
Knowledge transfer
Building internal capability can take many forms: classroom or online education, hands on projects, shadowing and coaching individuals, reinforcing new behaviors, implementing new measures that change focus, or readiness assessments. The goal is the same - to help you grow the talent you need to not just sustain but also continue to uncover opportunities for improvement.
Simulations
Through group sessions, we simulate the strategic or operational change you are contemplating. It no longer just an idea. You’ll get enough experience from the simulation to actually imagine the application in your workplace - or across your entire Performance Chain.
You’re no longer talking about a great concept. You feel it working.
Mentoring and business coaching
Whether you need a mentor for one individual or a thought-leader for an entire team, we can help your in-house talent grow and flourish.
Each of our coaching arrangements is unique. From providing general support and ongoing strategic advice to generating tools and establishing new processes, coaching can be one element of a complex project or the entire project.
Adjunct leadership
Once you have charted a clear direction, execution often means running and changing the business simultaneously. It may also require your team to build new capabilities. In either case our experienced line executives can act as adjunct leaders, partnering with your team as you translate direction into reality and results.
Why simulate change?
Most of us learn by doing. Once a change is charted we can build a simulation to help your team experience it. Its speed. Its dynamics. Its implications for what comes next.
Does change stall when consultants leave?
Our approach to making change sustainable is a big part of the Aveus difference. Contact us to learn more.
