The Key to an Integrated and Accepted Outcome
Change Management
Change Management as a Constant Companion
In broad terms, change management involves all activities, measures, and tasks designed to support significant changes within an organization. However, the term can be misleading, leading us to believe that changes can be controlled, organized, and planned. In today’s VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity), changes often happen unexpectedly and are hard to predict. Nothing is more constant than change, making it crucial to systematically integrate adjustments and innovations into the organization.
Change isn’t just a one-time event or something that happens every few years; it’s a regular occurrence in today’s workplace, driven by process changes, transformations in the work environment, evolving demands, or digitalization.
Change management is a key success factor for your transformation initiatives and the implementation of new technologies and systems.
Together with you, we’ll develop a customized change concept that we regularly review based on feedback from your organization and current conditions, making iterative adjustments and implementing it accordingly.
This is how we support you and your employees through periods of change.

Change Management in HR/IT Projects
Every (larger) IT and HR/IT project, such as implementing a cloud solution, carries an inherent change mandate. While the connection between IT and change management is evident, we often encounter divided perspectives and differing opinions in practice.
Keeping users informed and addressing potential concerns early on to resolve conflicts are crucial for ensuring long-term success when integrating HR/IT tools into the organization.

Our Change Management Approach
The Approach
How do you create an effective change management concept, and what should you keep in mind during implementation? How can you apply change management in daily project operations to ensure lasting results? These questions are on the minds of many organizations. We’d like to share our recipe for successful change management with you.
The essential ingredients are a clear vision, thorough analysis, design, and ultimately execution. You choose which phase you need us to support you in.
Initial Recommendations
Change doesn’t happen overnight, so it’s essential to plan it systematically. Use the project plan as a guide and align your activities accordingly.
Change management isn’t just an add-on to an HR/IT implementation or expansion; it’s a project within a project. This means it requires its own organization and responsibilities, which may extend beyond the project management team.
The success of any change initiative largely hinges on people. Those affected need to be empowered to learn the skills necessary to navigate the change effectively. Create a space for learning and development.
A change is only successful if employees embrace it. Foster feedback sessions and monitor the effectiveness of the change.
The change must integrate into daily routines and become part of the norm. Ensure that it is implemented sustainably and effectively - change management should not conclude with the go-live.
