Change Management:
Even revolutionary changes can be smooth sailing

When people welcome a new situation, they call it progress. When they’re not sure, they call it change. SiloSmashers equips you to turn change into progress.

A vital part of Peak Performance® is optimizing results even through times of sweeping transition. SiloSmashers has developed a comprehensive process for managing most organizational changes from start to finish. Building on years of experience and our expertise in collaboration, facilitation and communication, this process takes you through all the steps needed to assure a smooth transition on time, within budget and with no surprises.

Managing for Successful Change

Our complete change management process is a highly detailed sequence of interconnected steps. This overview shows you its scope and focus.

Align and engage your leadership. Successful change must have the strong and highly visible commitment of your enterprise leadership. To accomplish this, our project team works with you to develop the case for change and the visions behind it. Together, we conduct leadership interviews and develop a leadership action plan.

Develop the change strategy and plan. SiloSmashers can help you assess your organization’s readiness for change – site by site. Stakeholder analysis identifies the needs and concerns of everyone the change will affect. The resulting information provides the foundation of an effective change strategy and a formal change management plan, which will also include performance metrics to measure its success.

Transition the enterprise. This step assesses the magnitude of the impact of the proposed change on the enterprise. Understanding this impact drives the development of a strategy to ensure a smooth enterprise transition.

Prepare and equip the workforce. In almost every change we encounter, the workforce is the key to its success. They need to clearly understand how the change will affect their jobs, what training they may need, what benefits they may gain and how the transition will roll out. With these objectives in mind, SiloSmashers can help you define the user roles that the change will require and to develop a workforce transition strategy. We can also help you prepare training solutions for both your change project team and end users.

Engage and communicate with stakeholders. Timely, effective communication is critical. Done correctly, it helps you win “buy-in” and advocates for the change. It gives visibility to leadership commitment and raises awareness of transition activities and schedules. And a crucial advantage, timely communications reduces fear of the unknown and the impact of rumors. From beginning to end, SiloSmashers can help you develop and execute your communications strategy and plan.
