If there is one thing that is guaranteed in the workplace, it’s change. Whether you are looking at small-scale change, or large-scale organisational or procurement transformation, effective change management means defining the approach and tools that are right for your organisation and creating the change-ready culture you need to be successful.
Your organisation needs to change to adapt to the world around it. But with many change initiatives failing to meet their expected business objectives, the challenge lies in creating a robust business change management strategy.
Change is one of the biggest challenges in all organisations and change processes can fail for a number of reasons, including:
Despite the tried-and-tested change management models such as Kotter’s 8-Step Process for Leading Change, the Kubler-Ross Change Curve®, the Prosci ADKAR® Model or McKinsey’s -S Framework, there is no one right way to approach change management.

The major plus point from an Aspall perspective was that using eXceeding ensured that there was continual momentum driving the project forward.

Organisational change can be triggered by a number of different factors, such as:
Whatever the scenario, our experience in strategic consulting has established that senior leadership almost always overestimate their organisation’s capability to cope with the changes required.
With evidence suggesting that failure rates for change management are reaching as high as 70%, it is essential that you define a change management process that will be effective for your organisation.
For organisations considering a change programme, often the first step is the hardest. Many leaders are too close to the detail to have a holistic and strategic view of what needs to change. What can often appear as a simple project can turn into something quite complex and daunting.

Bringing in external strategic consulting expertise to support and manage your change means that you get an objective, yet tailored, approach with tactical steps to reaching your desired outcomes.

Transitioning from your incumbent supplier to a new one, or to a new contract or service with an existing supplier, is a complex project. It requires resources and specialist project management experience that often aren’t available in-house.
We see procurement as a critical business process that must evolve with your organisation, not just a support function. Our expert procurement consultants will help you deliver greater value, maximise growth and improve business performance.
