Increasing Engagement in a Multi-Year Global Transformation

A global technical manufacturing business had seen strong growth, with new opportunities and new markets emerging over the past few years. However, the structures, processes and systems in the business were no longer able to cope with the larger, more complex business. Cracks were starting to show. Using the Change Journey Navigator they were able to see where engagement was strong and where attention was needed, with often surprising insights.

Show people you are listening

Are you seeing change fatigue, dis-engagement or even sabotage? Maybe your change is taking longer or going over budget? With Change Journey Navigator you can get to the source of the problem quickly.

We know from psychology and neuroscience that emotions drive behaviour and yet most of the common tools and project approaches miss this part completely, focusing mainly on the rational side. The emotional connection people have with a change initiative drives the extent to which they will engage in it, whether they will prioritise it over everything else, the extent to which they will go the extra mile and how innovative they will be.

People also like to feel heard, it’s a hugely powerful engagement strategy. With Change Journey Navigator you’ll send a clear signal to your employees that you are truly listening.

Engage

The science behind engagement and empowerment

As a leader delivering change, you may find it can be frustratingly difficult getting people fully onside and engaged. Our new program is specifically designed to help you to reduce resistance and increase engagement. 

Whether it’s implementing new technology, streamlining operations, consolidating, merging or separating, you may have a sense that it should be easier than this. Why aren’t more people getting on board?

More often than not it’s the way change is delivered that’s causing the problem. The common approaches for delivering change actually end up causing resistance, fatigue and even sabotage. Join us to learn how you can unleash the most natural of human qualities, our ability and willingness to change.
