The
Value Proposition
The value proposition of this program for the organization
is:
• Learning Focus: The project team will quickly
learn how to develop a successful change management strategy. They will,
after a very brief period, all speak the same ‘language’ of
change and this will improve communication around the project significantly.
• Outcomes Focus: The project team and its sub-teams
will develop specific change plans and implementation strategies for the
total organization and for each of their own projects.
•
Team Development: The Team/Teams will develop themselves, increasing
their ability to communicate in an open, accurate and timely manner. Team
decision-making will improve as the teams learn the importance of reaching
consensus in a time-sensitive environment. In addition to their project
management skills, they will have developed significant ‘process’
skills such as facilitation, effective use of feedback and the need to
exercise strong leadership skills.
• Shared Experience—Same Page: Each
team would also benefit from information and change strategy sharing with
working on other, similar challenges. This will lead to a solidly cross-linked
change strategy, taking into consideration the relationship between and
among the team challenges.
• Learn and Achieve in a Low Threat, High Impact Environment
:The three-day program is anchored by "ExperienceChange",
an intensive computer and internet-based, multi-media simulation in change
management analysis, planning and implementation. Teams work separately
in this powerful simulation and compete with other teams for scores on
change management strategy and cost-benefit effectiveness. The simulation
workshop is preceded by a day of planning combined with team development.
It is followed by a day of team development and implementation strategy.
A key aspect of this program is that all team development exercises would
be tailored for the specific change management situations of the organization.
By going through this program, each organization team will get ‘up
to speed’ on their project much faster and leave the program with
specific ‘deliverables’ for implementation in their home organization.
An outline for the program schedule is attached.
Customization
Each program for managing change is completely customized to the needs
of the sponsoring organization. Successful workshops have been conducted
for consolidation projects, mergers, new service offerings, strategic
planning and restructurings.
Outcomes
Participants report that their projects have gone very well as a result
of the workshop. They report faster and smoother implementation with less
resistance.
