The Challenge
As you and your team continue to look for new and better ways of doing things, change is inevitable—whether it’s a change in a process, a system, organizational structure, or something else. Acknowledging and helping manage the impact of change on your employees, and the feelings of loss it can evoke, are critical to ensuring the success of your change efforts and maintaining employee morale. Change management provides a structured way to achieve these goals and fully realize the desired outcomes of the change you are implementing.
How We Can Help
We use and adapt widely accepted change management frameworks, including the ProSci ADKAR Model, William Bridges’ Transition Model, and the Kübler Ross Model.
We guide your team through the process of letting go of the old way and embracing the new, while helping you develop strategies to address change resistance.
We work with you to create avenues and opportunities for dialogue with your team throughout the transition process.

What Our Clients Are Saying
I have worked with the Office of Strategic Consulting on various projects over the last several years, including strategic planning as well as developing and implementing organizational change.
The consultants have been highly effective and engaging, offering a critical outside voice with these important processes. They kept planning focused, intentional, and moving forward efficiently and effectively. They also have demonstrated excellent interpersonal communication skills and a breadth and depth of experience.
Finally, I am quite impressed at their ability to acknowledge challenges and concerns team members may have during the process and, at the same time, support them to envision and work towards a future, more optimal organizational state.
