Are we a good fit?

Change managers, OD consultants, and coaches talk about change and how to succeed. So, how is this different?

The difference is the theory behind our work and the programs developed from that theory. That theory of change readiness is a combination of psychology and education. It is very specific, focusing on how humans succeed at change, the psychological strengths needed for success, and how to create readiness. This is a specialist area, not a generalist one.

We understand this theory – at the PhD level. We teach it at the Masters level. And all our programs are based on it.

Change managers, OD professionals, and coaches do not specialise in this theory or practice.

The only things in it are more security, success, lower risk, easier to get good results, faster progress, better leadership, improved culture, increased competitiveness, and less waste. And every aspect of change readiness contributes to all of them simultaneously.

Like all organisations, yours is on a trajectory. If it’s a trajectory of low change readiness, it will be a pathway of struggle, frustration, and disappointment.

You can do that if you want. But if you don’t, the sooner you get off that downward spiral, the better.

We are change readiness specialists. We have been studying and researching the topic for more than 20 years. We are qualified at the doctoral level in change readiness. We teach it at the master’s level. We know our stuff and we are good at teaching it to others.

You might already have the sense that something is wrong with how your organisation does change. But you might need help understanding what it is.

How much you improve depends on how much effort you put into the programs. You must put effort into educational programs if you want to learn. Therefore, we always recommend doing as many learning tasks as possible. 

Building change readiness is not a DIY exercise. It requires knowing the theory and having the tools and expertise that will make a difference.

Here are four business outcomes you can expect to see:  

Improved performance.  You will significantly increase performance across your teams by leveraging change readiness. It’s easy; we can show you how to do it. 

Better change outcomes. Greater ability to cope with unexpected changes – change readiness makes organisations more competitive and supports long-term sustainability. 

Better problem-solving and more opportunities. Change readiness enhances problem-solving capability and facilitates the ability to see and grasp new opportunities more quickly. 

Greater well-being and sustainability. As people develop a greater capacity to deal with change, their well-being improves, and organisations become more sustainable. 

Being ready for change is not risky; to be unready for change is far riskier. Building a change readiness strategy and making your organisation more ready for change involves virtually no risk. 

Our system for building personal change fitness and organisational change readiness is not risky. It has been developed from Steve Barlow’s award-winning PhD research into change readiness. Our programs and tools have been tried and tested for nearly a decade in the Master of Leadership program at the University of Tasmania’s School of Medicine. They have also been used extensively with people and businesses across 16 countries. Some have been included in CPD programs at the International Coaching Federation and the Australian Association of Social Workers. Our programs are safe to use.

Our processes are systematised, so we deliver consistent quality. We are DIFOTQ-ready – delivering our services in full, on time, and with consistent quality.
