Methodology

Change drivers come from several directions

Customers Government & legal Stakeholders Internal organisation Often these forces are ignored until a trigger is fired. May be costs have risen, or a competitor is invading your territory, or performance or quality has fallen. Then you need to act quickly to maintain or regain competitive advantage or to keep on track. Usually the organisation is fully occupied with the day job and doesn’t have the capacity to identify what needs to be done and to manage the change.    Whether this is in private or public organisations, manufacturing or service industries, there needs to be additional, experienced resource who can work alongside your management team and bring fresh ideas, extra skills and real drive to complete.  Sometimes too, change is required because of very positive reasons, such as product expansion or market gain and you want a fresh look at how your organisation will deliver an enhanced service without loss of quality. Making changes – and making them stick:  Many companies bring in consultants who identify what needs to be done but don’t enable the organisation to make the changes successfully. Often this means that delivery of the changes doesn’t happen. For sustainable improvement, the organisation needs to develop it’s own ability to evolve. Business Interim will transfer skills into the organisation and work with key people and departments to develop a framework for supporting and delivering change. This includes developing project management skills, capturing risks and dependencies across projects, enabling and driving delivery. This brings consistency to the projects, making them easy to monitor and report on.

Have you ever found that initiatives seem to fade due to lack of a defined path or the means to track progress? Have you ever had great plans but haven’t managed to get everyone on board to put energy and enthusiasm to the task? Have you ever met situations where initiatives seem to collide rather than support each other or, when one project required input from another but it hadn’t been communicated? Can you recall an occasion when some objectives weren’t totally clear to all parties? Did you ever realise that the technical resources are setting the priorities or that a strong voice in another programme has rearranged your timetable? Have you ever found that up-to-date information on progress, issues or risks are not available, or come via an unexpected route? Does the outlay in terms of resource and capital expenditure always ensure continued success or do people revert back to old ways of doing things? Did stakeholders ever question the value of a project or programme from an unexpected point of view?
