We work with our clients to craft and implement outcomes-based solutions. Our methodology includes memorable models, applicable tools, and measures of progress as well as coaching leaders and participants in an engagement with us to become more aware of how the actions they take and the choices they make impact the desired outcomes. We believe when leaders and employees are conscious of the true value of their goals, the culture shifts and creates the conditions for success.
What We Do
Change Management
Change management is more than just comms and training. It’s the application of a structured process and set of tools for leading the people side of change to achieve a desired outcome. A change management program can be organized across these six pillars to effectively manage and drive business transformation:
- Sponsorship & Leadership Alignment: Identify who in our client’s business is affected by the changes. Establish appropriate leadership and stakeholder awareness and buy-in around program and its objectives
- Change for Change: Identify, plan and mitigate impacts the program will have on the business
- Communications: Plan effective awareness communications for various stakeholder groups. Get the right information, to the right people, at the right time
- Training: Develop capabilities across the organization through training the business
- Measurement & Adoption: Identify metrics that will be used to assess people and process readiness across stakeholder populations
- Support & Reinforce: Define support and stabilization requirements after the change is implemented.
During a change management program, there are phases you need to follow to ensure critical activities are being considered: Assess, Design, Build, Test, and Deploy.
Corporate Restructuring
When your organization is facing major transitions or is in need of a fresh perspective, put our experience to work for you to optimize your operations, streamline processes, and enhance overall performance. A business consultant from Senscient will work closely with your team to develop a strategic roadmap that aligns with your objectives, ensuring a seamless transition to a more efficient and profitable future. Whether your business is adjusting to emerging technologies, setting new financial goals, or need expert advice on a management shift, we are of the most reliable consulting firms you can work with.
Culture Shaping
Culture can seem amorphous. It isn’t necessarily a thing, but a lived experience. It is the visible and invisible expression of an organization.
When properly aligned with vision, strategy, and purpose, culture can unleash tremendous amounts of energy toward a shared purpose, fostering an organization’s capacity to thrive.
Intentionally creating, reinforcing, or directing a company’s culture through the building of artifacts is beneficial because it consists of thoughtful, comprehensive and timely interventions to reinforce new values through emotion, cohesive branding, consistent messaging and practical guidance. Some sample artifacts can include:
Formal
- Cultural ambassador meetings
- Quarterly integration updates
- CEO webcasts
- HR performance management
- Culture brand on social media
Informal
- Culture branded infographics
- Milestone celebrations
- Leadership “high fives”
- Employee suggestion hotline
- Reward & incentives
Leadership Upskilling
Upskilling applies to both new people leaders as well as leaders that may have had limited training in leading teams. Together, we can cultivate a unified and high-performing executive team. We’ll assess your leadership structure and provide targeted guidance and hands-on tools to improve collaboration, decision-making, and communication. With our support, your leadership team will be empowered to lead with clarity, share their vision with the broader team and empower organizational success.
Employee Engagement
When you design a work environment where your team members feel valued, motivated, and connected to your organization’s mission your company will reach new levels of success. We’ll assist you in developing strategies to enhance employee satisfaction, foster a positive environment where work is meaningful, and in turn your people create authentic connections to their own work. By investing in your employees, you’ll build a loyal and high-performing workforce with a shared vision.
