Strategy & Change Management

Many businesses and teams have clear goals and objectives. However, they often struggle to answer the question, "How exactly do we get there?" Developing a comprehensive and feasible strategy, and ensuring that everyone is convinced and aligned with it, is a significant first step. Yet, even with a solid strategy in place, there is still a considerable risk that it may not be implemented - or fully implemented. This is where change management comes into play. Be it for scaling up, a restructuring, new work processes, a merger, new IT systems or an aspired change in company culture.

As an experienced change consultant, I can support you, your team, your company, or your network in moving from point A to point B, elevating your work to the next level.

Why Strategy? Why Change Management? Why me?

  • When I support you in developing your strategy, it will be one which is shared by all key stakeholders within your company. This involvement ensures a high level of alignment and a more realistic strategy, as every relevant stakeholder (e.g., departments) contributes their knowledge and experiences.

  • When implementing your strategy, my change management approach will help you measure the change energy within your company. You will understand which changes are likely or unlikely to be achieved and what it would take to successfully implement them.

  • Your communication about the change and with stakeholders will be more effective.

  • You will view resistance to change as valuable information to improve the change process.

  • I will challenge your decisions and arguments in a safe space to ensure they are robust.

  • Your change processes will remain flexible and adaptable to unforeseen developments.

  • The achieved changes will be consolidated and maintained, allowing your company to integrate them into daily operations without being overwhelmed by endless new changes.
