Change the way you change

Enhance your service culture

Engage your people in change. Improve their experience as employees. Build customer or citizen centricity. And see performance follow.

Engaged staff are more productive, contribute more to the organisation and deliver better services. 

Whether directly working to improve employee experience or engaging staff in change we find that our collaborative, customer centric approach leads to great results.

Employee experience programs

We have a tried and tested approach to starting and establishing employee experience operations. From initial proof projects focused on key experience journeys to full operational models and governance.

Staff engagement

For organisations with change programs that require workforce engagement (large or small) we deliver design-led programs where staff are involved in the redesign of their roles and working practices to support the change. The results are faster adoption and low resistance to change.

However, design must be set up correctly and not be stymied by countervailing forces. It must be well integrated and connected. In this webinar we will share how we have supported 2 of our clients to do this.

Customer experience architecture: why customer journeys aren’t enough

The ways we visualise and understand our organisations leave us with slices of insight that don’t align with each other. We have hundreds of views of what we do and how we do it. There are org charts and RACI’s, technical architectures, enterprise architectures, product lists, feature lists, customer segmentation and marketing rollout plans. But so few of those individual artefacts show how one connects to another to actually deliver value to your customers.
