BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION

Implementing change – developing the ability to change

CARRYING TRANSFORMATION INTO THE COMPANY

Companies have to learn to become adaptable more quickly and to change their structures and methods. Business transformation includes all actions that support this adaptability and lever the potential of people and technology with a view to successful business models.

To make the Business Transformation succeed, it is important that everyone involved in the company recognizes the sense and target of the change and supports it accordingly.

Customer centricity as an important target must be consistently reflected in all structures and processes. Introducing technology is not enough in itself. In fact, business and IT must develop a common understanding and develop the necessary skills in employees.

Typical situations when we talk about business transformation:

Situation 1: An innovative product is prepared by lots of different teams, but information is dispersed across several silos, making the process slow and inefficient. Without realigning the organization in roles and procedures, it will not be possible to reach the target of quick delivery.

Situation 2: A new software solution has been implemented. However, it has not been well adapted because user processes have not been taken into account and those involved do not know well enough how it works. The new technology cannot develop its full benefits, because the technology, processes and the required knowledge have not been introduced in coordination with each other.

Through first small steps and foreseeable milestones, the benefits of a holistic Business Transformation can be shown, gaining the trust and motivation of everyone involved.

HOW WE WILL SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION

Developing a comprehensible target vision

We will develop a concrete target vision from the strategy, which is comprehensible to everyone involved. We regularly use the methods and tool CAPAMAP for this.

Reflecting systematic customer alignment

Using customer journey mapping we create awareness of which levers we have to pull together in order to make customer centricity systematically liveable.

Ensuring business-IT alignment

Through business capabilities we will give business and IT a common language and will help strengthen mutual understanding and provide quickly adaptable tools.

Developing scalable knowledge management

“Who has to know what?” – one of our central questions during every change – which we support through scalable learning, coaching and knowledge management formats.

Introducing the right working methods

On the basis of every team’s task, we identify sensible working methods (agile or classic) and help synchronize these in interaction with all teams by using suitable rituals.

Adjusting roles and organizations

We will clarify roles and their responsibility and put these together to form targeted organization structures.

Step, by step, GP+S Consulting will help create the pre-conditions for developing and implementing successful, lived business models.
