TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMMES

Most people do not like change.

Most organisations resist change.

Yet we live in an age that is seeing rapid and persistent change.  Change comes in many forms and can often be imposed by external circumstances.  Change destroys old ways of working and not for profit organisations need to respond to this challenge.

Telos helps organisations to embrace change and thrive on the challenges and opportunities it presents, using a simple three-part approach which synthesises best practice from a range of sources:

STRATEGY FORMULATION

We work with organisations to develop strategy across the organisation and not just as a top down exercise.

When staff and beneficiaries feel they have an input into strategy formulation there will be greater commitment to change and likelihood of success.

You can find out more about our approach to strategy here.

PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION

How you implement change is crucially important.

We implement transformation programmes using best practice programme and project management.  We will use your existing methodology or help you design your own.

Using a robust planning and delivery mechanism in this way will ensure that risks and opportunities, costs and resources are effectively managed to deliver the benefits that you need.

ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE

At the same time, addressing the cultural issues inherent in an organisation is vital.  Visible behaviours are only the tip of the iceberg and reflect underlying and often unarticulated values and beliefs.

We help organisations to understand what drives their values and behaviours, using a visual culture model that gives a pictorial ‘shape’ to different organisational cultures.

HOW WE WORK

At Telos we are flexible, adaptable and accustomed to the particular challenges faced by the not for profit sector.  We are experienced in leading transformation programmes that meet changing needs – the implementation of a new technology, system or process, merging with another organisation or launching a new business or product line.

If you would like to discuss how we could help your organisation with any form of change please call Martin on 07855 460048 or email mclemmey@telosconsulting.co.uk.

Telos also offers support to the not for profit sector with strategic consultancy and finance and operations development.
