Leading Change, the London-based consultancy business with proven expertise in strategy execution, conducted a survey with attendees of recent change workshops which confirmed beyond doubt that its change workshops help deliver business success.
A survey of Leading Change workshop participants revealed that a staggering 100% of attendees agreed or strongly agreed that the workshops developed:
·
cohesive leadership
teams more likely to deliver successful change programmes
·
leaders able to
engage people effectively and more likely to be more successful in implementing
organisational change
· a clear picture of a business’ joint goals which will help all stakeholders focus on the most important outputs during the change programmes
“We’re delighted with the results, but not surprised. Data confirms Leading Change workshops provide attendees with the tools needed to implement change and implement successful business strategies,” said Mark Bouch, managing director of Leading Change.
McKinsey research indicates 15% of all change projects completely fail and the remaining 85% achieve between 40-60% of anticipated results. There is a direct correlation between the level of change project success and a factor called ‘change adoption’. Irrespective of the quality of the change programme, people’s ability to transition from old to new will often determine success, impacting completion deadlines, productivity and costs.
Leading Change workshops are pitched at change leaders and individuals subject to change. Their aim is to develop focused, effective change adopters at all levels. Bouch says: “Our pragmatic and simple change strategies ensure leaders and teams are able to adapt to change quickly, enabling them to perform consistently and create increasing value in today’s fast changing business world.”
Leading Change’s workshops move the focus from
traditional ‘change management’ processes to the “change leadership” necessary
to manage change execution and the people side of change. They challenge
leaders and teams to think, feel and believe differently about change. A
structured approach to change leadership supports leaders to engage and inspire
people to be ready, willing and able to change and to help them transition so
the ‘new way’ becomes business as usual.
Gartner’s 2019 HR
Executive Priorities Survey surveyed 800+ HR leaders across over 35
countries and all major industries to assess their priorities and expected

“The results of Gartner’s HR Leaders’ survey and
our workshop evaluations demonstrate the relevance and success of our
workshops. They attest to the key role they play in enhancing change leadership
capabilities able to engage people and execute successful organisational
change” said Bouch.
