Organizational transformations involve significant changes in an organization’s structure, culture, processes, or strategies to adapt to evolving market conditions, improve performance, or achieve specific objectives.

There are a diverse range of transformations that organizations may undergo to remain competitive. Maybe you are facing one or leading through one right now. We like to help you with that. We assist during:

• Digital transformation
• Agile transformation
• Mergers and Acquisitions Integration
• Change in Leadership and Management Styles (Next generation, …)
• Restructuring and Downsizing
• Scaling up
• Global expansion
• CRM implementation
• Lean Six Sigma Implementation
• …

You possess technical expertise, but there are additional elements required to reach the finish line. An additional human-centered approach in organizational transformations is crucial for ensuring that the changes positively impact employees, stakeholders, and the overall culture of the organization. Is it a soft approach? No, absolutely not.

A human-centered approach is not soft at all. It is a systematic and rigorous methodology for problem-solving and innovation. It acknowledges the complexity of human behavior in relation with the context, recognizes that the organization is a collective of individuals, and the way they work together (culture) and the structures that enable that work (structure) play pivotal roles in achieving successful transformations. Buckle up, you will need a sharpened toolbox !

Don’t be the tech-savvy-kind-of-person who

• Overemphasis on technology
• Has lack of empathy and communication
• Fails to involve non-technical stakeholders
• Is resistant to change and is attached on existing methods, models and structures
• Ignores cultural and behavioral aspects
• Doesn’t know how change management works (strategy, communication, training,…)
• Is unwilling to adapt to feedback
• Fails to measure and learn
• Doesn’t prioritize health
• …

If you, as technical leader, do not address these pitfalls, it can lead to a range of negative consequences for both the transformation process and the organization as a whole. Well hello misalignment, decreased productivity, high employee turnover, ineffective solutions, project delays,… That hurts, right?

We like to share our best practices and stimulate experimenting with adopting a human-centered approach in organizational growth & transformations. Every context is different, so is a transformation journey. Those are common themes we work on with leaders:

• Engage and involve employees of all ages
• Empathize with stakeholders
• Provide clear communication and transparency
• Development and coaching team members
• Measure and iterate based on feedback
• Stay resilient and energized
• Dealing with not-knowing and discomfort during complexity
• New way of working structures, methods & principles who fit emergent contexts
• …

By adapting a human-centered approach, being aware of the interplay between structure and culture, leaders can navigate complex transformations more effectively and create an environment where people feel valued and supported throughout the process, maintaining a keen focus on client needs and environmental considerations. Even in an emergent context.

There is no script for it, but we can work on these themes in a one-on-one mentoring, teamfacilitation or community of practice. We have a proven record cross-industry but feel the most connection with the Tech scene.

Our mission? Guide transformations and scaling-up with a human-centered approach to proactively avoid pitfalls common in large organizations and large transformations. We aim to address challenges well in advance, proactively preventing any significant disruption.

We want to contribute towards more resilient, efficient, and adaptive leaders & organizations that are better equipped to navigate a dynamic and ever-changing business environment. It not only prevents harm such as massive burn-out but also fosters a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. We really like to support and unite growing (tech) organizations and leaders who changes lives and planet for the better and that strive for corporate social responsibility.
