Want a resounding Win on that No-Win Change Management Project? Who doesn’t? I work with companies who are experiencing organizational change and are looking for ways to succeed, but need expert advice.
Through our unique approach to leading change, I help clients get results from major changes without headaches, cost overruns, and hidden problems. For instance, I provide the expertise you need to help identify potential resistance – and avoid it by showing you how to build support for even the most difficult strategic and tactical changes. You learn what to do in yoursituation to ensure success. I call this approach Change without Migraines™.
70% of All Changes Fail
Did you know that the failure rate of changes in organizations has remained at around 70% for nearly fifteen years? In spite of all the books and training and consulting help, organizations still do it poorly. Many organizations know how to lead change well, but they aren't putting that knowledge to work.
If you believe that the changes you lead don't achieve the results you want, I think I can help. Give me a call or read the new paperback version of my book, Beyond the Wall of Resistance. The sub-title of the new version says it all: Why 70% of Changes Still Fail – and What You Can Do About It?
Change without Migraines
If you do need to learn a model of change that focuses deeply on addressing why people support – and why they resist – change, then I invite you to take a look at Beyond the Wall of Resistance, or read my free e-book, Introduction to Change without Migraines. Or, if you want a quick taste of what this approach is all about, listen to the free 16-minute Podcast titled Intro to Change without Migraines.
