The first phase of the Chameleogenics Change Management Approach is the Decision Phase.

The drivers for change can come from many sources both internal and external to the business. The decision to launch a change initiative can often be difficult to make. Numerous factors affect that decision making process and your own style means that you will reach your choice according to your own decision making preference. Of course, sometimes the choices available to you are limited or even non-existent and this can lead to personal internal conflict and anguish.

In the Decision Phase, we work with you to ensure that you are certain that the right choice for you, your people and your business has been made, all possibilities have been explored and the decision that has been made can be justified to yourself and others.

During the Decision Phase of the Chameleogenics Change Management Approach you will have access to a range of psychometric tools and techniques, coaching or consultation, or use of our Innovation Room Environment.

The Chameleogenics Change Management Approach enables you to examine your own decision making preferences, adds confirm and challenge from a 3rd party perspective and suggests options that are explored from all angles. With the aim of setting the foundations for a successful change initiative, at the completion of the Decision Phase you will have reassurance that however tough the change may appear, the correct decision has been made by you, for your people and your business.

The second phase of the Chameleogenics Change Management Approach is the Preparation Phase.

After spending time consolidating thoughts and achieving a solid foundation of a clear and well thought out decision the next phase in the Chameleogenics Change Management Approach is to prepare the way for the change journey.

Often it is a lack of the communication of the vision that is blamed for resistance to any change. A lack of communication can create a climate of anxiety, anxiety leads to fear and fear of the unknown feeds resistance.

In your business it is your people that are your greatest asset. Your people deliver your product or service on a daily basis and they will be the ones that will be working with the changes and embedding them into their daily working lives. They deserve the right to offer their opinion on proposed changes and Chameleogenics can help to facilitate this communication.

During the Preparation Phase it is imperative that all the key stakeholders are aligned and in agreement with the decision that has been made. A leadership team for the change initiative is vital to the success of the work and they must be completely united in their communication of the vision and plan. Any doubters or naysayers will be damaging for the vision and ultimately they will undermine the change efforts and which will lead the initiative into failure.

At Chameleogenics, we will help you and your change leaders prepare for the challenge ahead. By creating a clear communication strategy and aiding with team engagement, we can provide you with the external support that you require to plan the change effectively and galvanise the change leadership team together into the united team you need.

Whether you require large-scale communication events or one-to-one consultations, Chamelegenics have a range of options available to ensure that a shared vision and single message is created, that your teams are communicated with effectively, that your people are listened to and that they understand why the decision has been taken, what the plan is and what the change will mean to them.

Time invested in the Preparation Phase of the Chameleogenics Change Management Approach is vital to ensure that the climate for change that you need is created so that you can proceed with confidence on to the next phase and initiate your change plan.

The third phase of the Chameleogenics Change Management Approach is the Initiation Phase.

Your people are at the centre of any change initiative. Having built your change leadership team and communicated and consulted with your people during the Preparation Phase, you should now be ready to commence with initiating the plan.

Maintaining the involvement of your people is key to the onward success of the change and now is the time to build on the communicated plan and gain the commitment of your teams to help drive the change from within the business.

A failure to build on the solid foundations that you have established in the Decision and Preparation Phases can cripple the change plan before it launches, therefore a structured approach to initiating the plan is required.

The Initiation Phase of the Chameleogenics Change Management Approach is the trigger point for taking action. Chameleogenics will work with you and your teams, to help you to make progress swiftly and effectively whilst always maintaining team cohesion.

At Chameleogenics, we know that it will not necessarily be those people who are in a leadership position that will influence colleagues to successfully adopt the changes planned within the organisation. Because of this we shall work with you and your change leadership team to identify, nuture and grow your own internal change champions so that they become empowered to take the correct action and influence when the plan dictates.

Throughout the Initiation Phase we help you to deliver your communication strategy, ensuring that your vision is conveyed consistently and remains "on message". Your dedicated Chameleogenics consultant will be on hand throughout the Initiation Phase to provide support, guidance and advice, keeping your business ready for the launch of your change plan and commencement of the Action Phase.

The fourth phase of the Chameleogenics Change Management Approach is the Action Phase.

Implementation of the changes your business needs relies on adhering strictly to the agreed plan. Unless there is an exceptional requirement to alter the approach any deviations from the plan should be avoided. Any unwarranted alterations will result in guaranteed delays to completion and cost over-runs, but most importantly, a loss of trust from within your people, which can in turn put the whole change initiative at risk of failure.

In the Action Phase of the Chameleogenics Change Management Approach, we assist you to keep your plan on track, monitoring progress and providing regular updates and performance reporting. Should the unforeseeable happen and an alteration to the plan be required, we will work with you, your change leadership team and your people to ensure that everyone is communicated with effectively, minimising the impact to your business change initiative and maintaining the credibility of you, your change leadership team and the change initiative as a whole.

During the Action Phase our Chameleogenics consultant will provide dedicated assistance and support to you and your change leadership team. As well as helping to resolve issues as the plan progresses, we also know that plan objectives will be achieved. Successful achievement of objectives helps the change plan to gain momentum and eradicates scepticism. Success and achievements within the change plan should be capitalised on and at Chameleogenics, we will ensure that we work with you to promote these throughout the business, which will in turn create more confidence in the initiative.

Chameleogenics will provide support and assistance during the Action Phase to you, your change leadership team and your people, to help ensure successful progression to the Stabilise Phase..

The final phase of the Chameleogenics Change Management Approach is the Stabilise Phase

A neglected area of any change initiative relates to anchoring the changes in place and giving due consideration to sustainability and the transition to a new way of working. Without stabilising the changes there is a real danger that all the efforts you have made implementing a change plan will have been wasted as your people get disillusioned and want things back to the way things were.

At Chameleogenics, we believe that stabilising the change is crucial for success.

In the Stabilise Phase we not only ensure that the change plan is completed, but work with you and your teams to embed a continuous improvement approach. Using lean and system thinking techniques we will work with you and your people to ensure that they are able to make continuous improvement an everyday part of their working day.

Once your change initiative is completed the work is not over. We continue to work with you and your teams to collate any lessons learned throughout the lifecycle of the change plan and ensure that those lessons are documented and reflected on.

The Chameleogenics Change Management Approach gives you the best opportunity to embed the changes you need.
