Do you need to call the Agents of Change? If you're looking for a tick and flick approach to Business Transformation and Change Management then stop reading now. Actually we're not too fond of the term Change Management (CM) because most people don't understand it. The name was invented by consultants and can sound a bit, well…fluffy and we are anything but fluffy. (We didn't call ourselves GSD for nothing!) In reality CM is not about management, it's about leadership. And so is transformation. It's about understanding why your organisation needs to change and being the champion that leads it. As agents of change our role is to help you get it done. How do you know you need to change? The answer to that question lies in how you answer these two questions: How's business? And how's morale? In commercial businesses you will know change is needed if your operating results start to head south, or customers start to take their business elsewhere. In public sector or not-for-profits the drivers of change can be different, such as alterations to policy, programs or funding models. In all sectors the impetus for change can come from proactive strategic decisions to alter business structures or update business systems, processes and technologies. To change your outcomes you need to change something you're doing now (and that implies knowing what you are doing now!) We hear a lot of why I can't and why I shouldn't but the reality is that if you do nothing, that's exactly what will happen. So you can go on making excuses that it's just the economy, or lack of funding or you can call in GSD to help...... •Build a compelling business case to get things moving •Create the vision and roadmap to get you there •Analyse and confirm where the problem(s) may be •Plan the changes you need/want to make •Deliver the changes you want to sustain into the future
