consultancy > cultural change & improvement

Culture change is inevitable in the world in which we work, but often something people are afraid to attempt. It is a well known fact that around 80% of change initiatives fail, but it is an often-told myth that this is because people automatically resist it.

Because of its importance, change is something we have built up expertise in at Real World Group. We believe that there are successful and unsuccessful ways to lead and manage change, and it does not have to be painful. People will embrace change if you enact it in the right way, and organisations can develop an effective culture of high readiness for change.

Real World Consultants have extensive experience of working in partnership with organisations to develop sustainable solutions which enable managers and team leaders to engage their teams in leading and transforming the service which they can still maintain even at times of considerable change.

We will help your organisation to identify and face up to real and significant business challenges such as;

• How do you develop a culture in which all staff are transformational leaders, from the senior management team to the front line?
• How do you deliver consistent, ethical, devolved leadership across the business?
• How do you develop a culture which is customer focused, delivers on results, works effectively with other stakeholders, is innovative, empowering and provides opportunities for growth and development?
• How do you ensure that organisationally and operationally, you have the same culture across the wider business relationships, including partners, consultants, internal service providers etc, and that all parties have the same motivation to achieve success?

This can involve;

• Definition of and alignment by the board, the executive and the management team to the vision and values of the organisation.
• Behavioural and decision making observation of the board, the executive and the management team to ensure that they are living the vision and values of the organisation in practice.
• Activities for managers and team leaders across the organisation to develop their capabilities as transformational leaders in their service / function.
• Practical toolkits with ideas that are creative and easy to implement and which will help to support managers and team leaders in engaging their staff to achieve their organisational objectives.

Working closely with you as the leaders, facilitators and initiators of change within your organisation, through developing a sustainable culture change through the intervention of Real World Group we will help you to;

• Improve your recruitment and selection processes
• Improve your appraisal and performance reviews.
• Deliver developmental reviews of real value.
• Improve your service and business planning processes.
