Manage change consciously
Markets are changing rapidly: The pandemic, rising energy prices, ESG requirements, disrupted supply chains, protectionism and a shortage of skilled workers are just some of the challenges that companies face today. They are responding with restructuring, relocation, downsizing, or divestment programs that have far-reaching effects on their employees, who must either take on new tasks in a new environment or lose their jobs. This in turn can have a very negative impact on on the program or the business itself.
To proactively manage concerns and minimize distractions, we have developed a change management approach to guide organizations through such programs.
With Fortlane Partners’ approach, the Board takes its management and staff on a Change Journey – following the path of the Transformation Program
Understand your management and your staff and the impact of the Transformation Program on them
Design a Change Journey to take your management and staff (and other stakeholders) through the transformation
Mobilize your management and staff: share your vision, announce the measures required to implement it, and invite everybody to join you along the way
Execute the Transformation Program supported by the Change Management Program: Communicate continuously, involve staff on a large scale, incentivize contributions, and support where necessary
Adopt proven elements of the Change Management Program in your corporate practices.
The impact of this approach is measurable: We recently set up a change management program for a client’s far-reaching restructuring program to reduce its workforce and number of offices by 40%. Support for the program increased by 5 percentage points within six months as employees understood that the measures were both required and fairly implemented.
"Conscious change management does not require much yet can make a real difference."Armin Raffalski, Partner at Fortlane Partners
Client StorYGlobal technology group
We led a global technology group with a turnover of EUR 14 billion and over 90,000 employees in over 100 countries, which had generated over EUR 6 billion in losses in six years, back to profitability in one year.
In the second year, we introduced a high-performance organization with an efficient operating model, established a success-oriented culture and further improved results. In this context, we achieved a return on consulting of over 30.
