Every CEO Needs An Organizational Change Management Consultant Right Now
Organizational change management consultants are known to quote the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, “The only thing that is constant is change.” This sentiment could not be more true for organizations right now. If we were able to fast forward 12 months into the future, I bet most companies will not look the same as they do today. Are CEOs and leaders prepared and equipped to navigate their organizations through these changes?
While many companies had to quickly pivot to a remote work environment, some organizations are now adopting at least some elements of this new model for the long haul, fundamentally changing how their workforce does their job.
Companies will need to reexamine their organizational structures, policies, business process, and systems to support the remote environment.
Companies will be looking for opportunities to be even more efficient and will likely continue to leverage technology to do so.
Leaders and employees have all been tested in real time in terms of how they handle crisis and change. There will be personnel changes to ensure the right people are in place to navigate the new normal.
HR organizations will need to learn how to effectively engage a remote workforce.
Supervisors will have to learn how to manage employees that they cannot see.
As the world settles into a new normal, there are likely to be many mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures.
Finally, leaders will need to help their organizations navigate these changes with empathy and compassion.
