CHANGE MANAGEMENT MONTH: WHY UNDERSTANDING YOUR NEEDS IS KEY TO FINDING THE BEST PARTNERS

Navigating organisational change is a constant reality for HR professionals. With an eye on employee engagement and business success, selecting the right change management solutions provider is essential. But with a sea of options available, how do you find the perfect partner to guide your team through transformative times? Here are some top tips to help you source the best change management partners…

Understanding Your Needs:

• Change Impact Analysis: Before seeking providers, conduct a thorough impact analysis. Identify the scope of the change, employee groups affected, and potential challenges. This clarifies what support is needed.

• Culture and Communication Style: Consider your organisation’s culture and communication style. Do you require a consultative or directive approach? Choosing a provider that understands your culture ensures a tailored solution.

• Employee Engagement Goals: Define your desired outcomes. Do you seek to improve communication, build buy-in, or address resistance to change? Clear goals guide your provider selection.

Evaluating Change Management Solutions Providers:

• Industry Expertise: Seek providers with proven experience in your industry. They’ll understand the unique challenges faced by your workforce and adapt their approach accordingly.

• Methodology and Framework: Inquire about their methodology and framework for change management. Do they follow a structured approach like Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model or ADKAR Model? A clear methodology fosters a defined approach.

• Track Record and Case Studies: Request case studies showcasing the provider’s past successes in similar change initiatives. Seeing tangible results builds confidence in their capabilities.

Beyond Methodology: Building a Partnership:

• Collaborative Approach: Look for a provider who prioritizes collaboration. They should actively listen to your needs and work alongside your internal HR team for a seamless implementation.

• Communication and Change Champion Training: Ensure they offer training for your internal change champions, equipping them with effective communication and leadership skills to drive employee engagement throughout the change process.

• Technology and Digital Solutions: Explore providers who offer digital tools and resources for employees. This could include online change management platforms, communication apps, or employee feedback surveys.

Exploring Popular Change Management Solution Providers in the UK:

While not exhaustive, here are some popular change management solution providers in the UK:

• Prosci: A global leader offering a structured change management methodology and robust training programs.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT: TOP TIPS FOR DEFINING THE BEST APPROACH FOR YOUR ORGANISATION

Fostering strong leadership is crucial for any UK business. However, choosing the right Leadership Development (LD) solutions provider can be a complex task. Here are some top tips to help you navigate the process and find the perfect partner for your organisation, based on input from HR Summit attendees…

1. Define Your Needs & Goals: Before seeking external solutions, take a step back and define your overarching goals. What leadership skills are most crucial for your organization’s success? Are you looking to develop senior executives, high-potential midlevel managers, or both?

2. Consider Your Learning Culture:

The most effective LD programs align with your organisation’s existing learning culture. Do your employees prefer instructorled workshops, online learning modules, or a blended approach? Understanding your workforce’s preferences helps select a provider offering suitable delivery methods.

3. Research & Shortlist Providers:

Research potential LD providers with a strong presence in the UK market. Look for companies with a proven track record of success in your specific industry sector. Here are some key aspects to evaluate:

• Program Content & Customisation: Does the provider offer a range of programs, or can they tailor a program specifically for your organisation’s needs and challenges?

• Delivery Expertise: What are the qualifications and experience of their trainers and facilitators? Are they industry experts who understand the unique challenges of leadership in your sector?

• Methodology & Learning Outcomes: What teaching methodologies do they employ?

“

By implementing these top tips, you can source the best Leadership Development solutions providers. The right partner will equip your employees with the skills and knowledge to navigate complex challenges and lead your organisation towards future success”.

Do their programs prioritise practical application and measurable learning outcomes?

4. Go Beyond the Brochure: Don’t rely solely on marketing materials. Request detailed programme outlines and case studies that demonstrate the provider’s success in achieving similar goals for other organizations.

5. Speak to References and Clients:

Reach out to client references and speak directly with HR managers about their experience with the provider. Ask about program effectiveness, trainer quality, and overall return on investment (ROI).

6. Look for Innovation and Technology Integration: Modern LD programs often leverage technology for a richer learning experience. Does the provider offer online learning modules, interactive simulations, or access to online communities for peer-to-peer learning?

7. Evaluate Support Services: Does the provider offer ongoing support beyond the initial program delivery? Look for resources like executive coaching,

mentoring programmes, or alumni networks to sustain the learning journey.

8. Cost Considerations:

While cost is a factor, don’t prioritise budget over value. Focus on the long-term impact on leadership development and potential ROI.

Bonus Tip:

Consider a pilot programme with a shortlisted provider. This allows you to experience their methodology, assess trainer effectiveness, and gauge employee engagement before full commitment.

By implementing these top tips, you can source the best Leadership Development solutions providers. The right partner will equip your employees with the skills and knowledge to navigate complex challenges and lead your organisation towards future success.

With a focus on creating and sustaining supportive and emotionally informed cultures within organisations, we have created a way of understanding emotions that is memorable, compassionate and constructive. We don’t believe that attending to the emotional needs of others is the same as attending to a physical injury, as in conventional First Aid. Or, that any one person can fulfil such a responsibility for their colleagues with only limited training. We therefore encourage everyone to be given the resources to understand and appreciate themselves, and to build cultures that are emotionally intelligent. Cultures that are emotionally aware, based on approaches that are trauma informed, which are person centred and based on human rights. Qualities that are recommended by the World Health Organisation and the United Nations.

Horses are amazing co-facilitators because they are masters at reading non-verbal communication. This communication that we emit (body language, emotions and energetic presence) as leaders or team members, makes up 93% of all human interaction. It has a HUGE effect on how we are perceived, and how others respond to us in the workplace! Once the horses have revealed without judgement, exactly what it’s like to be led by you, or in a team with you, there is a unique opportunity to practise different approaches and feel the difference. This is profound embodied learning that is never forgotten!
