Growth Acceleration

Our first step is the most important, we need to know where we are taking you, and having an exact destination in mind is vital. Unlike other business consultants, we don’t just talk about the change required, we conduct a critical review against organisational objectives and performance goals thus ensuring the transformation is in the right direction strategically, financially, and ethically. 

Our team of experts report on how the desired transformation may impact key people across the organisation, both internally and externally. The impacts of the transformation at various levels can lead to positive and negative consequences. Before implementing change, our team reviews the effect on each business unit and how it cascades through your department structures down to the individual. In some cases, transformation can impact service providers, customers, contracts, support teams and much more. This information is critical prior to launch as it helps us develop a clear plan for determining the training and support needed to mitigate the negative impacts.

Our team understands how difficult it can be for management and employees to adopt new systems and transformation. The greatest transformation success stories are where our clients take all employees on the change journey and how we communicate the change to each stakeholder group in a way that resonates with them, whether it be a live seminar, training days, or just a simple newsletter. We determine the most effective means of communication for the group or individual that will bring them on board with your transformation goal, and ensure low resistance. The communication strategy changes along a timeline for how the change will be incrementally communicated, key messages, and the communication channels and mediums we plan to use.

At this stage, DC strategy’s expert consultants are working so closely with your management teams that you would think we are internal staff. DC Strategy will take your key training through the exact process to provide training, whether it be structured or informal, so they can teach the skills and knowledge required to operate efficiently as the change is rolled out. You will have the option for the training to include a suite of micro-learning online modules, or a blended learning approach incorporating face-to-face training sessions or on-the-job coaching and mentoring. 

We help you implement a support structure to assist employees in their adjustment period, both emotionally and practically, as they build proficiency in new behaviours and technical skills. Unfortunately, sometimes transformation can result in redundancies or restructures, so we help your organisation integrate support EAPs such as counselling services to help people navigate the situation. Finally, we help your management take on an open-door policy so stakeholders across all tiers can ask questions as they arise, thus helping us solidify the transformation long term.

Throughout the transformation process, we implement structures with key stakeholders of your team to help measure the business impact of the changes and ensure that continued reinforcement opportunities exist to build proficiencies. We evaluate the change management plans to determine its effectiveness and document any lessons learned, whilst taking feedback from stakeholders to reduce overall resistance to future change.

We help businesses of all sizes, from large corporations to sole traders, through a diverse team and nearly 40 years of experience.
