At Rescale Consulting, our approach to change management is grounded in scientific principles and a relentless commitment to delivering measurable outcomes. We believe successful transformation isn’t accidental; it’s the product of a structured, evidence-based methodology meticulously customized to each client’s unique context. Our commitment is to guide your organization through change with strategies that are not only innovative but also validated by extensive research and proven in practice.
Evidence-Based and Result-Oriented
Our methodology integrates key principles from leading, science-informed change management practices to ensure a systematic and practical approach to every engagement.
- Science-Informed Practices: We leverage proven frameworks and insights from decades of research into how individuals and organizations successfully navigate change. This ensures our strategies are built on a solid understanding of human behavior and organizational dynamics.
- Data-Driven Customization: We recognize that “one size does not fit all” in change management. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your organization’s specific characteristics, including culture, size, the scope of the change, and readiness assessments. This enables us to create a customized change management plan tailored to your needs.
- Focus on Tangible Outcomes: Every step of our methodology is designed to achieve specific, desired results. We work with you to define clear objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs) from the outset, ensuring that success is measurable and that the change initiative delivers real business value.
Core Components of Our Approach
We draw from a portfolio of globally recognized and research-backed change management models, adapting and combining them to create the optimal strategy for your organization:
- Prosci® Methodology (including ADKAR® Model and 3-Phase Process):
- The ADKAR® Model guides individual change by focusing on Awareness (of the need for change), Desire (to participate and support the change), Knowledge (on how to change), Ability (to implement required skills and behaviours), and Reinforcement (to sustain the change). This people-centric approach is crucial for minimizing resistance and fostering buy-in.
- The Prosci 3-Phase Process (Prepare Approach, Manage Change, Sustain Outcomes) provides a structured, scalable, and adaptable framework for managing the organizational side of change. It ensures that initiatives are well-planned, effectively executed, and deliver lasting results.
- Lewin’s Change Management Model:
- This foundational model (Unfreeze, Change, Refreeze) helps prepare the organization for change, implement the new ways of working, and solidify those changes to become the new norm. It’s particularly effective for structuring the change journey and addressing initial resistance.
- Evidence-Based Change Management Principles:
- We incorporate ongoing actions, such as goal setting, clear communication of vision, and continuous feedback loops, alongside phased actions tailored to specific stages of the change process (e.g., early diagnosis, late-stage institutionalization). This involves using scientific evidence, organizational data, stakeholder input, and practitioner experience to inform decisions.
- Other Complementary Models:
- Where appropriate, we may integrate elements from other robust frameworks, such as Kotter’s 8-Step Process for creating urgency and building momentum, or the McKinsey 7-S Model, to ensure the holistic alignment of strategy, structure, systems, shared values, style, staff, and skills during complex transformations.
Our Process: Tailored for Your Success
- Assess & Define: We begin by thoroughly understanding your change initiative, its impact on individuals and groups, and your organization’s unique attributes, including its culture, capacity for change, and strategic objectives. This includes risk assessments to anticipate challenges.
- Strategize & Plan: We develop a customized change management strategy based on the assessment. This involves selecting and tailoring the most appropriate models and tools to create comprehensive communication, sponsorship, coaching, training, and resistance management plans.
- Implement & Engage: We work alongside your team to execute the change plans, ensuring clear communication, active leadership support, and robust employee engagement throughout the transition.
- Measure & Sustain: We continuously monitor progress against defined KPIs, gather feedback, and make necessary adjustments to ensure the change is adopted effectively. We focus on embedding the change into your organizational culture and processes for long-term sustainability and benefit realization.
By combining scientific rigor with practical, adaptable strategies, Rescale Consulting empowers your organization to manage change and leverage it as a catalyst for growth and enduring success. Our result-oriented methodology has consistently shown increased project success rates, improved employee engagement, and accelerated the realization of benefits from your change initiatives.
