Change Management Lifecycle

Our Prosci-certified change management consulting experts excel at guiding complex, multi-tier programs to success, leveraging the ADKAR model with experience spanning retail, financial services, healthcare, and EHS industries.

The Change Management Lifecycle outlines how organizations prepare, implement, and sustain the human side of change, utilizing the ADKAR model to ensure effectiveness. This approach emphasizes awareness, engagement, capability, and reinforcement, ensuring that new solutions are not only delivered but also fully adopted and integrated within the organization. 

Running parallel to the Project Management Lifecycle, change management consulting aligns change activities with each project phase. This alignment guarantees that communications, training, and stakeholder engagement occur at the optimal times, specifically when individuals are most affected by the change.

Stakeholders informed and engaged through effective change management consulting. Employees trained and supported using the ADKAR model. Resistance identified and managed proactively. Leadership actively sponsoring change initiatives. Sustained behavioral and cultural alignment achieved.

Awareness: Build understanding of the change using the ADKAR model. Desire: Create motivation to participate and support change management consulting. Knowledge: Equip people with the skills and tools they need to adapt effectively. Ability: Enable performance in new ways of working that align with your business goals. Reinforcement: Sustain adoption and prevent backsliding with management strategies that help you achieve success.

Change management consulting is most effective when integrated with project management from the start, utilizing the ADKAR model for a structured approach. This includes establishing a shared roadmap and milestones, defining joint readiness and go/no-go criteria, coordinating deployment, communications, and training, and maintaining a shared view of risks, issues, and adoption metrics.
