Change with purpose and confidence

How much of your growth strategy depends on people changing the way they think, work, or behave? As your organization restructures, including potentially the movement to a hybrid workforce, change management becomes increasingly critical—not only to the success of the organization but to the wellbeing of your people.

Graphic. Successful change requires an engaged sponsor—aligning sponsor expectations and capabilities to promote active and visible support. Successful change also requires factors such as preventative—preventative tactics help avoid undesirable and unintended consequences of change, making it easy to predict and ward off derailers from the start. Proactive—proactive plans biuld to achieve ROI through adoption and behavior change and manage unforeseen circumstances throughout the change. And responsive—using evidence-based diagnostics of barriers when things don't go as planned.

Organizational change begins with our collaboration

Organizational change management is the art and science of helping individuals and organizations adopt new ways of thinking, believing, and behaving so they aren’t mired in the past. Our change management strategies help overcome resistance while ensuring success by:

  • Developing executive sponsorship and alignment across leadership and stakeholders
  • Building and maturing change management practices and capabilities in your organization
  • Developing capable leaders and high performers to drive and support strategic initiatives
  • Building organizational resilience and enabling adaptable employees
  • Augmenting and optimizing your strategy with expert change practitioners
Navigate change with confidence

We find that a combination of organization-wide and localized business-unit tactics works best for organizations to effectively adapt to change. GP Strategies has developed change tactics based on this idea utilizing our individual change model: the R2P2 Model.

Graphic. The GP Strategies R2P2 change model: Reason—clarity around what is changing and why, understanding the risk of not changing, and what's in it for the individual. Role—actions and activities assigned to or required of a person to make the change successful. Path—knowledge, skills, and ability to be successful in the change with no obstacles to adoption. Partner—Social networks to provide coaching, practice, and reinforcement as well as individual accountability.

This model focuses on four key stages: reason, role, path, and partner. Change happens one person at a time, so ensuring leaders within the organization are well equipped to be engaged sponsors is a cornerstone to successful change.
