DELIVERING YOUR CRITICAL INITIATIVES

What Are Change Execution Services?
Designed for business leaders who are responsible for initiating critical initiatives, our change execution services are about delivering realization. We roll up our sleeves and apply our Execution Engineering framework to help you translate your intent into reality, understand and address the issues that can put your project at risk, get people aligned and moving in the right direction, and measure progress and results.

THERE ARE SIX WAYS WE CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE REALIZATION MORE EFFECTIVELY:

Advising Senior Leaders On Strategy Execution Challenges: Partnering senior leaders with senior partners from our firm, we offer advice and guidance based on our many years of experience and specific areas of expertise. Our senior partners average over 20 years of experience in executing strategic change.

Executing Strategic Initiatives Jointly With Your Teams: We partner with you, providing a small team of highly experienced and seasoned professionals who bring the right mix of Intent, People, and Delivery expertise. Our team works with you to apply our proven approach to plan, execute, and realize the expected business outcomes from your strategic initiative.

Transferring Strategy Execution Expertise: Our philosophy of consulting includes a major emphasis on building our clients' capabilities. At the begining of every engagement, we work with you to establish goals for building your capabilities in strategy execution with an eye toward decreasing your need for external assistance in the future. We work with you to create and execute capability development plans leveraging a wide array of strategy execution educational, training, and certification programs.

Assessing And Mitigating Risks To Successful Realization: We apply our execution risk framework and measurement tools to provide you with data to clearly identify realization risks, which, if left unattended, may cause failure. We provide you with a comprehensive report explaining the risk profile of your strategic initiative and work with you and your team to mitigate the risks in order to achieve realization.

Conducting Strategic Initiative "Health Checks" For Governing Bodies: As an independent third party, we apply a strategic initiative realization audit for the governing bodies of that initiative. We provide an objective assessment of the risks to realization, a prognosis of success or failure, and a set of reccomendations to increase your chances of success.

Providing Execution Governance Structure And Process: We help you establish oversight of the execution process integrating steering committees, advisory groups, program office, and initiative teams to ensure that the execution of your initiative is highly organized, that decision making is clear, and that you have an objective, unbiased picture of your progress, risks, and options. We work with you to implement an execution risk management process that delivers accurate and timely information and early warnings so that key decision makers can take action to mitigate risks.

WHAT IS THE VALUE FOR YOU?

• Achieve full realization. Apply a proactive and predictive risk management process. Pinpoint problem areas, prioritize your resource allocation and provide early warning to make decisions that drive toward realization.
• Deliver a high "Return on Change." Build an accurate, informed business case; define your realization goals and determine the true financial and human cost of achieving them; put mechanisms in place to measure your progress and results; and ensure that you can take timely action if your return is at risk.
• Get it done right the first time. Avoid costly mistakes by quickly identifying the skills you need and supplementing your team with experts.
• Reduce your overall resource cost. Train, mentor, and coach your team to build their execution skills. In addition to increasing their ability to add immediate value, this will decrease your dependence on external support in the future.
• Avoid overloading your organization. Accomplish your goals with minimum disruption to business operations. Measure and manage the total load on key constituencies, identifying competing priorities and reducing non-value-added work.
• Build expertise. Develop the execution knowledge and skills to ensure your current initiative's success and be better prepared for the next one.
