Transformations are, by definition, complex, challenging and demanding. This is what we expect and is what we support our clients through. Frequently, however, complexity and challenge manifest themselves as extended programmes and a seemingly intractable decline into slow results delivery.
Transformation Leadership consultants have been there, seen it, and know what
to do to accelerate delivery. Capgemini has established clear thought leadership
in how to apply our core tools, such as benefits realisation, operating model
design and collaborative working, to develop a methodology to create accelerated
programmes that:
- Establish the most valuable outcomes that can be achieved – ensuring correct prioritisation of effort and resource allocation
- Rapidly accomplish ‘quick wins’ that are significant steps towards the prioritised goals – not simply focusing on the easiest to achieve
- Mobilise a motivated and empowered core team – using techniques to increase client team members’ confidence in creating rapid robust results
- Keep accelerated work fully co-ordinated with high-level strategy and longer-term transformation plans
- Clearly identify the risk, cost and resourcing implications of acceleration to ensure clients can make balanced, informed decisions
- Transfer skills in how to quickly identify, scope, design and deliver change
- Send clear messages to the wider organisation about management commitment to business transformation
Taking on the elephant
In our experience, the impact of an organisation’s size and complexity is often under-estimated at the programme inception. Insufficient attention is paid to how to best take colleagues on the transformation journey. It is not that people don’t want to adopt new working practices or employ new technology – it is just that they have not been taken on the “journey of change” to a point where they become active adopters.
Transformation Leadership designs programmes to address the rational, the political and the emotional, in parallel, from conception, through design to implementation and into “business as usual”.
What does this mean in practice?
The rational – we have proven ability to develop, jointly with your client teams, the right solution – the critical fundamental of any engagement.
The political – we work with you to account for the complexities of decision making and stakeholder management in your organisation
The emotional - we work alongside you at an individual level as well to ensure the change decisions that need to be taken address the thoughts and fears that everyone feels separately
In our programmes we accelerate delivery by;
- Talking your language, not ours
- Remaining flexible within a changing environment, whilst retaining an unwavering focus on delivering the outcomes to which we have committed
- Displaying insight, candour, and respect to rapidly build trust and create a desire for rapid change within your staff
