Few organizations can afford to stand still in the face of global and local forces of change. With competition spurred by technology and innovation; multiple generational and cultural differences in expectations among employees, customers and other stakeholders; and the breakdown of traditional hierarchical organizational structures in a world where access to information is ubiquitous – adapting to change is the new normal.
Agility is core to the health and survival of any organization and for a team or group, a leader, a manager or a career to thrive. Blue Apricot Solutions breaks down the mystery behind effective change and works from a strong set of principles to ensure we are effective agents of change operating in a highly effective and ethical manner.
Our diagram illustrates what you can expect following your decision to engage us:
Contracting with you
While we will have already made clear the scope of the work and deliverables, we revisit desired outcomes to clearly identify Return On Investment.
“Use of Self”
We are fully present and aware of what we observe, hear and learn without bringing our own biases and assumptions. We know you are the experts in your field as we share our experience and expertise of organizational theory and change management approaches.
Uncovering the discovery
We use solid, proven processes for discovery and obtaining sound and current data from interviews, focus groups, meetings, and/or surveys to identify the current state and the state of readiness for change.
You need to hear this
We give coherent feedback that fosters real dialogue and supports your decisions about the choices you have
Supporting individuals, teams and groups to think strategically, as well as from a place of knowing and empowerment
We don’t foist solutions. Instead we offer you techniques, facilitation, coaching and processes to allow you to find your solutions yourself. That way you have buy-in and participation long after we leave you.
Learning to change
We encourage learning from differences, disagreements and conflict while supporting systems for change. In the systems approach, we pay attention to culture and atmosphere as these inevitably impact performance, sustainability and meaningful accountability.
We are in this together
The thread throughout our work is direct communication. We communicate clearly, directly, and without fluff. We encourage feedback and model our commitment to agility and learning.
