The one constant in today’s business environment is rapid and perpetual change. The key to survival and future growth is a unified organisation operating within a strong culture – but what steps can you take to get there? 

Successful organisations evolve constantly to meet the ever-changing needs of their customers, staff and key stakeholders. However, without effective change management, teams face resistance, low morale, a lack of engagement and/or understanding about why change is happening and what it means.  

Understanding how your organisation responds to change takes planning, reflection and active listening. Our team helps you to anticipate stakeholder responses and to manage perceptions and expectations, optimising stakeholder engagement and buy-in. 

Grant Thornton’s change management team has extensive experience in helping clients to plan and prepare for change. We employ best-practice methodologies to devise pragmatic solutions, assessing the size and complexity of the change involved, ensuring key elements are measured and tracked, so that tangible, sustainable change is achieved. 

How we can help

Our team will help you develop the necessary skills and unique strategies to embrace change. Our goal is to support individuals and teams through periods of change to increase overall engagement in the process, leading to higher adoption and usage rates and less resistance from those impacted by the change. 

Embedding a culture of change within an organisation readies your teams for both current and future change. Our team will work with you to create a support structure for change, establishing a change community and developing team capabilities, transferring knowledge and assisting you to develop and sustain new behaviours and ways of working. 

There’s no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to managing change. Our services adapt to your specific needs, covering stakeholder management, engagement, communications, impact assessment, readiness, benefits realisation planning, execution, and tailored training.
