7 Reasons Why You’ll Love Change As Usual

1. Methodology agnostic. In a global market complexity is a given.  There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ for change.  Our approach differs from other consultancies – we are methodology agnostic.  Preferring instead a framework approach to change that utilises a mixture of lean change, lean startup, Agile, behavioural science, systems thinking and coaching.

2. Complexity requires emergent practices. Many organisations find themselves in the complexity space which requires emergent practices. This means testing understanding of the current system, applying judgement to what might work and then responding. This iterative approach underpins the change framework we use.

3. Organisations seek flexibility and speed as well as thought leadership. The approach of applying good or best practice presupposes one methodology will work for change and innovation. The model of expert consultant might be appropriate in some organisations operating in a more ordered or traditional space. In our experience the level of disruption in the market is quickly negating this approach. We provide flexibility in our approach and thought leadership.

4. Testing approaches based on assumptions. When we engage with potential clients our assumption is that we first need to hypothesise which space the organisation might be in and then test approaches based on the assumptions we make. This is something we do in collaboration with the client to help them evaluate which approaches might work.

5. An iterative process on which to hang your practice. Having an anchor on which to base your practice is important to you, and we recognise that. It’s why we use a simple light-touch process. Our role is to equip our clients with the confidence to take iterative steps towards change without becoming reliant on one approach or methodology. So, you can be confident that, even though you are using an adaptive systems approach to change, you always have an iterative process on which to hang your practice.

6. Enabling you to do things differently. Always mindful that our role is to help you, the client improve and enable you to do things differently at the end of the engagement. Being able to work with change as the new norm.

7. Co-creation as an antidote to disruption. Disruption has been tethered to technology.  But it’s not just technology that is disrupting organisations.  It’s also an old-fashioned scarcity view of strategy.  In a co-created world we help you create options for creating new approaches rather than just competing.
