Watershed CI developed the Change Integration™ approach to assist clients in implementing strategic change. We consider the impact on and of people throughout the transformation process – from establishing strategy to realizing benefits.
Implementing strategic change through people
Here’s what we know about implementing strategic change:
Every strategic change involves people
Most failed strategies underestimate the people component
While change starts at the top, it is achieved from the bottom
People own the change they help create
Leadership alignment at every level underpins all effective transformation
Effective change only occurs when the right initiatives are delivered through the right people at the right time. To achieve the goal of implementing strategic change sustainably, Initiative Management and People Engagement practices must be fully aligned. At a practical level, this is exactly what Change Integration achieves.
Change Integration supports organizations undergoing transformation in two fundamental areas:
Initiative Focused Change
The successful execution of specific strategic initiatives through projects and programs, including:
• assessments and health checks
• project and program delivery
• review and recovery
• project-based services
• managed resource placements
Building Organizational Capability
Developing an organization’s capability to support all future change efforts more effectively via the following tactics:
• establishing areas of practice (PMOs and CMOs)
• building frameworks
• training and coaching
• governance
• advisory services
Change Architecture
To implement strategic change seamlessly, the integration of people change with initiative management and business process must occur at a deep, detailed level. We have developed our Change Architecture framework to achieve this detailed level of integration.
Watershed CI reflects Change Integration™ and Change Architecture components in all of our services related to initiative focused change and organizational capability development.
