Change presents a challenge for all businesses and has inherent risks. The one consistent issue all businesses have with change (however positive or negative the intended change) is the impact it will always have on your people.

Journey delivers by putting people first and foremost at the heart of change.

  • We work closely to help identify those who can assist most in the programme, and build the teams that will help to make change happen.
  • We help to identify people most likely to be affected and resistant to change, working to create advocacy rather than resistance.
  • And we understand how to deal with every element of change that will touch the people who are at risk or reward from change; the components of their jobs and livelihoods like contracts, pensions, geographic location, training,  the tools they need or tools they will lose, their career path, working hours and conditions (ad infinitum).
  • Before, during and after the Journey, you’ll need to retain the people and talent critical to your success. Journey identifies those people within your organisation, and will help you to keep them.

A business’s change programme that overlooks the vital role played by its people... will fail.
