The imperative for organisations to realise results from their investments in people, technology, process, new markets or new products reverberates across all business entities. The realisation of benefits and return on the investments made should not be lost to a lack of commitment to engage and support Organisational Change Management (OCM) efforts. Red Strokes Consulting is passionate about the need for OCM to support all business related initiatives, and in the need to support the people that will ultimately carry the change to realise the benefits.

Doing Change Right
A business whose operating model (people, processes and systems) stays anchored at a certain point in time will inevitably fail. The speed of innovation and competition in a globally connected market means change is inevitable. And while we humans know change is inevitable, we don’t really want to do the hard work to actually change. Weird right?
Would you be happy leaving the adoption and usage of your investment up to chance? Or would you rather manage the change to realise the benefits?
We strongly believe in the need for, and benefits available through, an effective OCM approach to support your business transformations, regardless of scale. Our leadership model puts people at the centre of decisions and actions, and our approach to change is the same – deliver the changes needed by the business, but by servicing the unique needs of individuals who have to carry that change
OCM doesn’t need to be just those big enterprise, tectonic shift type of transformations. Even a poorly introduced process change can have detrimental impacts on team morale. We offer OCM support for Project and Program efforts as well as large scale enterprise transformations.
Where would you apply OCM?
Program and Project Management
Regardless of size, any project that introduces a new way of doing business is going to have an impact one one or more of the change impact elements. Carefully managing that change in an integrated manner with the Project Team and Sponsors will significantly help to realise benefits and return on investments.
Enterprise Reform
The extraordinarily dynamic nature of business today means organisations will undergo significant reform that impacts large areas of the organisation if not the entire organisation. From enterprise operating systems to cultural adaptation or new products and markets, helping to align the people, processes and systems is key to success at this scale.
Change Preparedness
The one thing that is true in todays business landscape is that change is inevitable. Prevailing change management methodologies would have us work to reduce resistance for each change initiative. However, Red Strokes believes we can create a culture of change preparedness to empower our people to manage any change, regardless of scale or source.
What makes us worth a look?
Red Strokes has experience in leading businesses in the public and private sectors. This means our focus isn’t just on change and communication. Our people aren’t one dimensional in what they offer. We know what businesses need and we know what keeps the executives awake at night throughout transformations. Not only do we offer a passionate engagement to ensure the change happens effectively and efficiently, we will provide proactive analysis to address those strategic concerns before they become the stuff of nightmares!
