Change - even change for the better - is disruptive. Employees don’t always understand why it’s happening or how it will affect them, and may even fear for their own job security. This can be particularly true when they are introduced to new technology—which can feel difficult, alien, and too demanding.

All of which means that staff become distracted, less engaged, less productive, and potentially less co-operative. And all of which could be avoided.

What does Foretel Change offer?

Foretel Change helps organisations take an integrated approach to the implementation of new systems—ensuring that people, processes and technology work together in harmony to maximises the success of that change.

We can help you with strategic change management

Only a very small number of strategic change initiatives actually achieve their objectives, because so many barriers obstruct their chances of success. Often, this is to do with the way people react and behave. For example, the benefits of an IT implementation can be severely curtailed, or even offset, by the impact of the culture of the organisation.

Since 1998, Foretel has been developing comprehensive processes for change management, ensuring that our clients are among that small number of successes. We’ll manage the psychology of change among your staff, and achieve commitment to change. We’ll deliver a proven change management process, identifying and overcoming the barriers to change, and offering training, mentoring and coaching support to ensure the successful transfer of skills to your organisation.

We can help you with culture change   

One of the most fundamental questions an organisation can ask is, “Does our current culture help or hinder the achievement of our strategic objectives?” Changing how people think and behave is difficult, but we’ve developed a set of techniques (supported by a toolset which integrates culture change into the overall project) which:

• Help managers understand and map the current culture
• Define and describe the desired culture 
• Identify which levers will be most effective in making the transition from the old to the new
• Develop a road map for managing and measuring progress.

We can help you with employee engagement   

Employee engagement means different things to different organisations. Ultimately, it’s about employees who are:

• willing to commit to their organisation
• engaged in their work
• keen to contribute to the mission of the organisation
• willing to make an extra effort to help it succeed

Consequently, engagement can be seen as being about performance—because harnessing the energy and discretionary effort of employees does improve performance. Maximising the return from strategic investments therefore demands that employee engagement is part of the change mix.

We provide a systematic process for improving employee engagement, which involves the following key stages:

• Setting the employee engagement context and developing the business case 
• Understanding the current level of engagement 
• Identifying areas for action 
• Implementing an employee engagement programme 
• Evaluation and measurement.
