Change Management -  Develop Organizations Successfully

wibas supports your organizational development with change management principles

We support you in approaching a change in such a way that it is aligned with your company's business objectives. In other words, a change does not happen with us in a vacuum, but is individually tailored to the needs of your organization. We help you understand the operating principles of change in order to set up your company's organizational development and support it with appropriate techniques or interventions. We provide you with an outside perspective and feedback. With impact monitoring, we make transparent how well the change is taking hold in your company and measure the degree of goal achievement – at any time in your change process. In this way, we can always react together in time and, if necessary, make directional corrections. As experts for organizational development, we have many years of change experience and achieve success in small organizations as well as in very large ones with thousands of employees.  

Change facilitation for good change management

At wibas, we believe in change through our own efforts. Change is a bit like sports: The trainer can guide, show techniques and give feedback – but in the end it can only be done with one's own strength. For us, change facilitation means supporting this power. To this end, we contribute knowledge about "How does change work?", techniques, facilitation and intervention. The change – you make it.

Factors for a successful transformation

In essence, every change is made by people and for people - and therefore only works with and through people. It is therefore important to align a transformation through leadership, to inform employees, to involve them and – where necessary – to qualify them. Changing an entire organization initially seems like an endless challenge. And guess what? It is. But if you transform your company in small manageable steps, you will have the best foundation to reach your big goal. For more than 20 years, we have been supporting organizations in change projects. In this practice, the following success factors have emerged for successful and sustainable transformation:

• Iterative approach: The best way to achieve a big change is to make many small changes towards your target image. This way you can easily make directional corrections at any time. 

• Alignment: For change to work, leadership must lead by example and link the target picture to employees' day-to-day work.

• Co-design: Involve your employees in the change and work out ways and solutions together. 

• Learning: We support the employees concerned through various measures such as training and coaching in putting the change from theory into practice. 

• Inspect and adjust: We evaluate the change over time and track goal achievement. This is how we ensure that your organization stays on the right track. 

• Communication: Transparent change communication reduces resistance and gets your employees on board.  

• Change facilitation: Change is understood as a continuous process. This helps you to ensure time and again that your organization is ready for the demands of the market.

And how long does that take?

It depends on your organization, your situation and your transformation project - plus the scale of the change. The big challenge is to find the right speed and implement the changes across the entire breadth of the organization. If it takes too long, the transformation will not be noticed and will fizzle out. If it goes too fast, people are overwhelmed and there is high resistance, which in the worst case leads to an abortion of the transformation project. We support you in finding the right implementation speed for your organization.
