At Apogee Change Management Consulting (Apogee CMC or Apogee), we accept the truth of things: over 70% of business transformation ROI is realized when humans do things differently and sadly over 70% of the same business transformations fail to achieve expected results.
People are the lynchpin. And that is our specialty.
Apogee helps you achieve the pinnacle of people performance. Always.
Apogee believes in the practical application of change management.
Our methodology stems from a multitude of organizational change management (OCM) best practices and is a result of over twenty-five (25) years of successfully aligning people to a common goal, securing engagement and support throughout the transformation, and ensuring the desired outcome is continuously achieved after the change occurs.
We teach companies that people can be managed successfully, just as projects and programs are managed successfully. And when you understand the levers to pull, companies can maximize their workforce performance during transformation periods, as well as expedite the ROI from the investment as the workforce excels in the new normal.
First, we work closely with you to understand your unique business need and desired outcome stemming from the identified 'transformation'.
Second, we adapt our methodology to fit your unique workforce and changes needed to achieve repeatable results for the aforementioned change.
Third, we deliver one (1) day of training (8 hours) that unifies and aligns business leaders on why people need OCM, the benefit we realize when we proactively manage human capital as part of the program, and deliver for use afterwards a simple set of tools to plan, manage, and execute the change plan as part of the overall transformation.
We have to step together, and know where you want to go, in order to get to the right outcome. Which is your best, first step?
Apogee assessment is conducted in thirty (30) minute discovery sessions, at no charge to you.
Upon completion, the outcome is used to facilitate Apogee Alignment Day; the day of training.
Written assessment discovery / recommendations are available from these sessions, in lieu of the Alignment day, for a fee.
Apogee alignment is conducted in one (1) eight-hour session; up to 20 attendees.
The session has three (3) main themes, and when completed, all attendees are armed with the understanding and tools to successfully lead and manage their teams through any transformation as well as reinforce the changes in the new normal.
Theme 1: Accepting the human condition
Theme 2: OCM insights and outcomes
