Newsletter - December 2010

practical insights from the implementation specialists at Systemental

The U.S. economic recovery will remain slow deep into next year according to a recent Associated Press survey of leading U.S. economists.  They also reported that unemployment will remain at or near the current 9.5% level putting pressure on industry to continue to do more with less.

At Systemental, for 2011, we're looking forward to the continued growth of our business and the continuation of dedicated service to all our clients.  In this newsletter, we've provided a brief description of two of our newest offerings and a couple  informative articles.

"Train the Trainer" Change Management Training Service

Reality Based CM

A Better Approach to Change Management Capability Development

People don't dislike change, they resist bad change. Transform your critical real world projects into live, learning experiences that enable you to successfully navigate major change today while building the sustainable competitive advantage you need to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Our "experiential" CM development approach optimizes engagement and accelerates learning to boost project and major initiative performance. Seize the power of employee concerns, eliminate fear, and increase control. Build and spread organizational change capability through the application of time-tested, universal principles.

Nobody wants to be burdened with training that seems out-of-place or only vaguely relevant. Now you can build change management capability around natural points of engagement. Call us to discuss your projects and goals for 2011 and we'll explain how Reality Based CM can put you in the lead through better change performance.

Terms to Know

Dynamic Visualization
information signpost

Dynamic Visualization: a method or tool used to see, manipulate, and experience future performance, in order to evaluate, and become comfortable with the requirements enabling maximum success. Why are models, pilot trials or simulations, and prototypes so effective when designing new products or processes? With proper application, they increase understanding, accelerate learning leading to increased change precision and deliver better change performance.

How it works

An incomplete understanding of proposed changes seriously weaken your chances of success. Signs of incomplete understanding typically includes resistance or mediocre cooperation.

A real world demonstration, using an appropriately designed simulation, helps those who must adapt planned changes see, experience, and manipulate the features of the proposed change before they are fully implemented. This "gets them closer" to the ideas behind the change and how those ideas can be used to drive higher performance, enabling the participants to identify and express their thoughts and concerns more accurately and more thoroughly.

Benefits

Dynamic visualization helps implementers craft better plans for change, and enables designers to build more effective, user friendly processes and tools.

At Systemental, we have years of experience building simulations, crafting models, and designing process pilots. We can build a manual, spreadsheet, or database model (simulation or process pilot) for you, or teach and assist you as you build your own. Call us now and we'll explain how we can help.

Tips for Success

Tips for success

Fixing broken cross-functional relationships fast

When stumbling blocks arise in shared processes, follow this guideline:

  1. Bring the groups together and help them understand the entire process.
  2. Position them to design and implement an improved process - one that works best for all involved.
  3. Guide them and provide what is needed as they design and replace the broken process with the new one.
