Organisational Change Implementation Requires a Structured Approach
The a2B Change Management Framework® (a2BCMF®) is a structured and disciplined approach to support organisations, leadership teams, and individuals going through a change, the transition from the current ‘a’ state to the improved future ‘B’ state. The a2BCMF® has three phases and ten key process steps. Each phase provides change strategies, principles, analysis, and tactics to move from one phase to the next.
Objectives and Benefits:
During a change, many organisations spend most of their budget and energy on developing the technical solution and buying the hardware, with little focus on the actual people side. Understanding previous change history and the organisation's culture is vital for successful change implementation. The objective of our a2BCMF® is to bring the organisation through change to deliver successful change and meet targets:
On time.
On budget.
Quality requirements.
And most importantly,
People adopt the change and the new way of working:
Enhanced employee engagement and commitment to the change.
Reduced resistance and improved readiness for change.
Realisation of long-term financial targets and sustained competitive performance.
How the a2B Change Management Framework® Supports Leaders
The a2B Change Management Framework® (a2BCMF®) supports leaders in successfully driving organisational change by focusing on the following key areas:
Effective and Proactive Leadership: The a2BCMF® recognises the crucial role of senior leaders in delivering successful change management. It emphasises the importance of proactive leadership to ensure that employees fully adopt the change, the return on investment (ROI) is achieved, and the organisation gains a competitive edge in improving performance.
Strategic Alignment and Team Building: A fundamental part of the approach is to align the leadership team on strategic priorities and foster a high-performing team culture. By doing so, leaders are better equipped to steer the organisation through change initiatives.
Change Leadership Skills Development: The a2BCMF®places emphasis on equipping leaders with the necessary change leadership skills. This ensures that they are well-prepared to lead the organisation through periods of change effectively. Internal Change Capability Building: The a2BCMF® introduces the concept of change management gamification, which is a form of experiential learning. This approach allows leaders and employees to immediately apply newly acquired change management skills to their day-to-day work, thus building internal change capability.
Change Implementation Focus: Once the foundational elements are in place, the a2BCMF® directs attention towards effective change implementation, utilising the a2BCMF® to guide and structure the process. By addressing these key areas, the a2BCMF® plays a vital role in supporting leaders to drive successful organisational change and achieve sustained performance improvements.
