LaMarsh - The Leader as Sponsor of Change

Change Management

Leadership plays a key role in change
"Better, faster, cheaper" is becoming a standard operating principle among organizations that want to remain competitive. While leaders try to stay focused on building a clear vision for the future and making sure it happens, they are confronted with increasing pressure to become more involved in change initiatives. Leaders can't just articulate a vision and then rely on their staff to drive the changes required. The staff, as change agents cannot succeed on their own. Even the most skilled and experienced "change agents" are at great risk without strong sponsorship from the executive team.
The Leader as Sponsor of Change is a working session designed for individual executives and leadership teams who seek to recognize the value of change management and how it can become a critical business tool for the organization. Sponsors will come away from this working session with experience applying the Managed Change(tm) Model to increase the success rate of their changes.

LaMarsh - The Leader as Sponsor of Change
Failed changes can severely affect management credibility, corporate reputation in the marketplace, stock price, and shareholder confidence. If sponsors have different levels of understanding and expectations of their role in change, strategic initiatives can under-perform or fail; this results in unplanned losses in dollars, time, functionality and corporate pain. Sponsors must understand the change process, agree on their role as leaders of change, utilize a unique set of tools to carry out their responsibilities and model those skills and competencies within their organization.
Pre-work: A LaMarsh & Associates consultant will meet with key client staff to receive a situational orientation during which he/ she will gain an understanding of the organization, the business vision/ mission/ goals. Its unique needs and issues and an overview of the current change initiatives. Based on this input, the consultant will prepare a client-specific presentation and supporting materials and align and customize the program to the client environment and the desired outcomes for the session.
Leadership Session: The final agenda and session length (between 4-7 hours) will be tailored as a result of the pre-work activities with key client staff.
Post-session Reinforcement: Follow-up collaboration with key client staff on formalizing and developing the Change management Strategy and the Risk Mitigation Plan for the organization.
