Create Adaptable Teams & New Realities
With A Change Readiness System
Transform Your Organisation
What more could you achieve if ….
- your people were more successful and innovative?
- your leaders were more effective?
- your organisation was more adaptable and competitive?
What new realities could you create if all these things were true right now? What often limits businesses is their people’s creativity, commitment, and adaptability.
These days, we hear a lot about advances in AI technology. But what about optimising your people? What about aligning the business to promote innovation, creativity, and performance?
You can optimise your people and align your organisation to create a more productive, effective, and profitable workplace. But you need a strategy and a methodology.
Your strategy must create change readiness – something about which we learn little from the education system. Change-ready organisations perform better than others, and yours can become one of them.
The Problem
Here’s an illustration to demonstrate what we mean. Imagine you are driving your car and you come to a busy intersection. There are no traffic lights and you need to cross a busy line of traffic to join the flow on the other side. There are few opportunities to cross safely and you must be bold, but not reckless. Suddenly you see an opportunity – a slight gap in the traffic. You plant your foot on the accelerator but, to your horror, the car is slow to respond. Just when you need it to jump into action, it hesitates. You are caught in a moment of hesitation and danger.
Businesses are often like this. As a leader, you may see a great opportunity to make progress and you need your people to be ready to jump into action. But instead of readiness to create a new reality, your people hesitate.
It’s not necessarily outward rebellion, but it’s often passive resistance. When you dig into it you see that some people feel threatened by the change, some lack confidence, others like the status quo and don’t want to change. These are common behaviours in organisations whose people are not optimised for change.
How Change Readiness Makes You Money
Change readiness indirectly supports your financial viability in two ways.
By optimising your people’s change readiness, you improve their capacity for effective self-management and self-leadership. This helps them become more effective and productive, especially under stressful and demanding conditions common during periods of change. This lowers the demands on managers and leaders, freeing them up to focus on other areas.
By aligning the organisation’s change readiness, you create an environment that encourages innovation, creativity, and adaptation. This helps people progress faster, overcome obstacles, solve problems, and make better decisions.
Change readiness helps you get the best from your people. It supports their health and wellbeing and promotes a positive organisational culture.
You Need a System
To make your people ready for change, you need a system. It’s not going to happen by itself. Without an effective system, whenever you want to create a better reality, your unoptimised team or unaligned organisation will put you in danger of failing.
Features of Your Change Readiness System
Your system should be:
⇒ Holistic – You need a system that focuses on both the individual’s readiness for change and the organisation’s readiness. These two must be aligned to support each other and to build long-term capability. This means your system needs a psychological focus and a broader OD focus on the organisation.
⇒ Scientific – You need a system that is based on scientific methods, tested theory, and demonstrated practical effectiveness. Even better if it has been tested overseas with other populations.
⇒ Australian – You need a system that has been developed, tested, and shown to be effective in Australia. A system developed overseas may not be a cultural good fit for Australian conditions.
⇒ Leading edge – You need a system that is based on 21st-century thinking. The world has changed a lot since the 20th century and you need a system that reflects how people think today.
We Can Provide a Great Solution
We have been working in the change readiness space for over two decades, researching it and teaching it at the Masters level right here in Australia.
Over that time, we have had the opportunity to write books and put together a system to optimise the change readiness of people and organisations.
We have also had time to test our systems, refine them, and ensure that they work as they should.
And the result? We have developed a system to help organisations make progress and turn possibilities into realities.
If you want to optimise your business and acieve more of your goals faster and with more security, you should check out our change readiness system.
