Change Confidence

There’s a change crisis happening right now.

According to research by KPMG, a whopping 70% of organisations suffered at least one project failure in the previous 12 months and 50% of projects failed to fully achieve what they set out to.

So where is it all going so wrong?

Organisations are struggling to change at the pace they need, due to:

  • Team members who resist change or get overwhelmed when it’s piled on top of their day job
  • Boards and Execs who’ve lost confidence after having their fingers burned on a key project that went south
  • Leaders who’d rather jab a pen in their eye than step up and lead that huge, high profile and expensive programme
  • More limited funds and resources than they used to have

Others just have a nagging feeling that they could (and need to) do more but they aren’t confident about how…

Sound familiar?

If you're not sure how Change Confident you are right now, why don't you take my Change Confidence Quiz!

Perhaps you're a Change Chicken (no offense!) who's honest about needing some support to become more Change Confident? Or perhaps you're a brave Change Conqueror who goes where others fear to tread?

When you complete the quiz, you'll get a bespoke plan that outlines your specific challenges. It includes a step-by-step guide to becoming more change confident and practical tips you can start today.

But even though change is hard, you no longer have a choice – you are constantly in the thick of it - whether that’s because of the race to digital services, increases in both cost and customer expectations or hybrid working.

You know you have to evolve if you’re going to be the organisation that customers love, and colleagues stay loyal to.

But even if you’re good at delivering change, if you don’t make it stick , you won’t experience the benefit:

A McKinsey study has shown that with poor change management to land change and get it adopted, the return on investment can be a rather depressing 35%

Compared with world class change management that can return over 4 times that, at close to 150% (143% to be exact)

But don’t despair – there is a way!

Introducing…

The Change Confidence Blueprint

This is a tried and tested blueprint that allows you to deliver change with confidence.

A set of tools and techniques to enable you to embrace change with more confidence and, crucially, more success.

Delivered as keynote speeches, masterclasses and programmes, The Change Confidence Blueprint is here to help you deal confidently with whatever the future holds.

This blueprint is based on extensive research into what makes change stick – real projects, real people and real organisations – with all their issues. Including:

Over 10,000 hours of coaching and consultancy for those leading change, including through the pandemic
Research from 50 hours of structured interviews
The generous participation of 23 organisations
Insight from 15 industries – including Tech, Education, Sport, Motor, Finance, Retail, Building, Property, Manufacturing, Power, Travel, Law, Logistics, Local Authorities and Charities

Make all that research and insight yours. The Change Confidence Blueprint is your shortcut to lead change confidently and take people with you on the journey. And most importantly – do it cheaper, faster and with fewer people.

You’ll be one step closer to being the envy of your peers and wowing the Board by making the change nobody thought was possible.

Your framework for fearless change

Organisations that thrive take change in their stride. They lead with confidence – even when resource and budget are scarce and the future uncertain.

And this is the blueprint to do it.
