Building employee commitment for increased performance and organizational change...

How many times has your organization introduced an initiative as the one that will "differentiate us", "allow us to work smarter" or "execute"? How many of these programs lost steam half way through? Or, if they were completed, have you ever thought that things don't seem much different than they were before the initiative?

Research shows that up to 70% of organizational change improvement efforts fail to produce the expected results. In most cases they fail or go over budget — not because the technical solution is wrong, but because inadequate attention is paid to achieving the necessary organization-wide commitment.

Engaged Strategies has the tools and expertise to build organization-wide commitment. We implement processes, which ensure all components of the organization, including structure, roles, systems, and employee skills, are aligned to achieve your objectives.

Our organizational change services include:

• Whole-Scale Change – Builds commitment, generates creative solutions, and significantly speeds-up the process of design and implementation. Stakeholders from all levels and functions, often including important customers and suppliers from outside the organization, participate in a series of workshops where they create a high-performance work system (processes and guidelines for working together). Workshop topics are selected and tailored to meet the needs of the organization and often include visioning, customer/supplier partnering, and organization design.
• Meeting Facilitation – Focuses on a specific need or topic such as developing a mission or vision, identifying opportunities for cost savings, getting everyone in agreement regarding goals and priorities, and issue resolution to bring opposing views to consensus on a common approach. We design and expertly facilitate sessions ranging from two-hour meetings to multi-day off-site workshops designed to achieve specific objectives.
• Consulting and Coaching – Provides objective, individualized guidance and a sounding board to assist in managing the change process. We meet with you to clarify your goals and to define what a successful outcome would look like. Followed by regular one-on-one coaching sessions, we help you to think through current issues, hone your skills, and implement changes step-by-step.
