Solve Problems Before They Arise

Team collaboration

Organisational change management is something that project teams consistently think they could and should have done better. Organisations that are successful with their digital transformations plan ahead and commit to a comprehensive change strategy.

The acceptance of change management has improved significantly in Africa, particularly during the pandemic, as more companies shifted to the digital space; however, not all organisations have harnessed this phenomenon to the extent that when digital transformation budgets become tight, change management becomes the first thing to be overlooked; thus, in most cases, it results in many digital transformation failures.

Our MARYTECHENOCK SOLUTIONS experts understand what makes or destroys a corporate transition.

New or improved technology is meaningless unless it is adopted by an organization's employees. We assist customers in overcoming reluctance to change, planning future roles and responsibilities, and ensuring a smooth transition.

Together with our clients, we design a complete preparation plan that includes measures like:

Consider the potential that raising the budget for change management could actually lower the overall cost of an ERP system implementation. By doubling down on an efficient organisational structure, your total project expenses will most likely be reduced if you double down on an effective organisational change management programme. Here are some of the reasons:

◎ System training and adoption are two of the more demanding and costly tasks that must be completed throughout a deployment. If users are on board from the beginning, they will pay greater attention during training, reducing the amount of retraining and scheduling required.

◎ Resistance to change exists in every organisation. If sources of resistance are not recognised and addressed early on, they will stymie the project at important milestones. Budget overruns are frequently caused by slowing momentum and shifting project timeframes.

◎ Communication effectiveness: People don't receive it in the first round of communication. When communications are lost, it causes confusion and resistance.

◎ Behavior change: How can people just alter their behaviour if the effects of change are not known and documented? Pursuing an ERP implementation without mapping process change to people's employment is akin to entering a jungle without a compass.

◎ MARYTECHENOCK change management experts use methodologies and technologies based on behavioural science and data analytics to realise the full potential of transformation. The basic concepts stem from our Smart Simplicity concept, which states that knowing people's behaviours, as well as the setting in which they operate, lowers complexity and increases performance.

Culture & Organisation Change

◎ Organisational culture is critical to a company's performance, yet many business leaders are unsure of how to optimise it.

Why do certain companies thrive while others fail? What makes one business survive a downturn while others struggle? There might be individual reasons but at the heart of the matter lies the culture of an organisation.

◎ It can be difficult to assess and improve a company's culture. Culture is inherently intangible. Internal teams entrusted with defining it may struggle to maintain objectivity. MARYTECHENOCK's SOLUTIONS roots lie in human science. We can assist people with measuring, understanding, and articulating the metaphors, myths, and rituals observed by firms, as well as developing an action plan to improve the culture in the future.
