change management

An organisation's objectives change over time in the face of technological, competitive and environmental challenges. Sometimes the change needs to happen overnight and sometimes the need expresses itself slowly. Whatever the nature of change involves there are certain fundamentals that need to happen if the change is to be successful.

DEVA adds value to the change management process by:

• Supporting the team tasked with making change happen - see Team Development
• Clarifying the new vision, mission and values
• Helping to devise a communication strategy
• Making presentations at large inter-active conferences
• Designing and running seminars for selected groups, to get the message across
• Releasing the latent creativity from every member of staff
• Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the organisation in accommodating change
• Developing policies that ensure that the new values are embedded into the organisation's behaviour patterns
• Supporting the organisation in its aim for best practices and other interdependent behaviours
• Creating awareness of customer needs through seminars and training sessions
• Supporting suppliers through good procurement practice, supply chain management and joint ventures
