I enjoy transformations as much as the next person 😉 Having been through my fair share of them in my career, I can confidently say that the most successful ones had one thing in common—stellar Change Management. All the Change Practitioners I’ve had the pleasure of working with were masters at making people feel comfortable about the ‘uncomfortable,’ such as new systems, processes, or ways of working. So, if you’re planning to embark on a transformation—or an initiative akin to one—in 2025, make sure you, your team, and your organization are ready. This means having the right capabilities, tools, resources, and, of course, the mindset in place and ready to go. How❓ ✅ Step 1: Complete our 2-minute online pulse check (follow the link in the below post). ✅ Step 2: Talk to one of my colleagues—seasoned Change Management Practitioners across four states. ✅ Step 3: Let’s work together to get your transformation off to a great start. 👉 On a side note: Check out the conversational tone used to construct the questions for the assessment. I know I have Content Writers and Designers in my network who might appreciate it.

As individuals we often don't pay conscious attention to our positive and less helpful habits, patterns of behaviours and ways of doing things. The same goes for organisations that are unaware of how ingrained ways of working, pervasive attitudes and organisational systems may be impacting the success of transformation initiatives or other organisational changes. Seeking an outside perspective, someone to ask the "why is it done that way" question is a great starting place to build a change fit organisation

It is important when looking at integrating AI into your business to ensure you focus on your people. Change happens. Change management is important. 

Some insight into the challenges of change from Shaun W.. Perform Partners can help!

There are three fundamental questions we explore with clients to assess the viability of any change programme: Clarity of Purpose: How clear are you on what the organisation is seeking to achieve and the value of achieving it? A well defined goal and understanding of its impact are essential to inspire buy-in and guide the direction of the change. Ease of Contribution: How easy is it for your team to contribute to the change programme? Creating accessible pathways for involvement can empower your team and ensure the programme reflects diverse insights, strengthening overall commitment. Challenge Navigation: How well do you identify and navigate challenges and conflict within the business? Identifying potential roadblocks and handling conflict proactively are key to maintaining momentum and fostering resilience. These questions provide a solid foundation for gauging readiness and setting your change programme on a path to success. #business #businesschange #changeforgood #businessmentors #corporate #corporatechange #corporatepunk

Give your team a voice in the changes ahead. And watch their commitment to your mission deepen. One of the pain points I've encountered working with organizations over the years is: → Retaining top talent through effective change management How we manage change can significantly impact our ability to hold onto our most valuable assets—our people. Change is inevitable, especially in digital transformation. However, for many talented individuals, change can feel like a threat to the stability and predictability they value in their careers. The key to retaining talent isn't in resisting change but in managing it in a way that aligns with the team’s needs for: → Security → Growth Here's how: Transparent Communication: → Keep your team informed about changes early and often. → Understanding the ‘why’ behind changes reduces uncertainty and builds trust. Involve Employees in the Change Process: → Give your team a voice in how changes are implemented. → This inclusion can increase buy-in and decrease resistance. Provide Training and Development: → Equip your team with the skills they need to succeed. → Ongoing education shows your commitment to their growth. Recognize and Reward Flexibility: → Acknowledge and reward efforts to embrace and facilitate change. → Recognition can reinforce positive attitudes and behaviors toward adaptation. Implementing these strategies will help turn potential turnover into renewed commitment. Your team will feel valued and prepared to navigate new challenges. Think about the upcoming changes within your company. ❓ How can you apply these strategies to ensure your top talent not only stays but thrives? ________ P.S.
