Change
Management
Organizational
Change and Change Management are concepts that managers meet on
a regular base. Often in a context where the concept is linked
to the feared word: 'Reorganization'. Reorganization creates far
too often a sour feeling, even in situations where reorganization
is urgently needed. The opposite of change, predictability and
security, are far more accepted.
We hear it
every day: "People lose their jobs because of reorganization".
It is understandable that a change in an organization automatically
becomes associated with reorganization in the above mentioned
meaning. For this reason 'change' is often seen as something negative,
although there are lots of cases where 'change' became a real
improvement.
Revising and
changing processes start automatically the change-process. If
this process of change is not or insufficient recognized, the
risk of not achieving the desired results becomes larger. Chain
is conscious about the process of change and will guide your organization
through this process.
Make
it Happen
Make it Happen means that we
implement the solutions and/or
we coach the people in your organisation to execute
the plans.
For all projects,
an implementation and coaching role can be foreseen dependent
on the wishes of the client.
- |
Implementation
will be combined with project management |
- |
Coaching
provides a sound board for the client's ideas and solutions. |
