Andersch | Make change happen

Your goal

You know where you are going, you have identified opportunities that will add value to your company and have planned to make the required changes. You now want to manage these opportunities and complete the transformation efficiently and successfully.

Our services

We work with the management team to design the transformation culture for the company. To do so, we set up a tailor-made project management structure with the corresponding processes and structures, provide the company with an efficient tool for controlling implementation, and prepare the communication plan used to provide precise and transparent information to all of the process stakeholders. On request, we can provide experienced managers via Andersch Management GmbH to handle steering roles as well as support services.

Implementing an efficient transformation control system
Early communication with all process stakeholders

Establishing a strong and workable transformation organization

We provide quick and efficient support for establishing the necessary structures. This primarily involves:

Appointing a project management office staffed by employees with relevant experience as a central organ for monitoring
Setting up a steering committee with powers to act as a centralized decision-making body in all phases of the project
Assigning clear responsibilities and ensuring that the respective people have the authority to act
Providing an adequate number of experienced personnel based on the specific circumstances, it may be advisable to include additional external specialists.
Creating transparent and clearly structured processes that may (for example) define how cross-project collaboration is organized and what information needs to be given to who and when

Implementing an efficient transformation control system

Implementing complex value add projects efficiently requires that all stkeholders can gain comfort as to the transparency of the project at a ‘touch of the button’. To achieve this, we developed ‘impact’: a web-based tool now used successfully in the field for over 15 years that is also in continuous development.

Advantages offered by the system include the following:

Simple, intuitive handling – quick and efficient onboarding for new users
Access anywhere – perform direct checks on transformation progress at any time
Standardized and automated reporting at the touch of a button – no HR resources tied up by reporting activities
Automatic mailing lists – streamline workloads with structured communication
Multidimensional, secure permissions management – grant clear-cut responsibilities and ensure involvement of all employees

Early, tailor-made communication

Change means letting go of old habits. Those involved need to have a special kind of motivation, grounded foremost in their understanding of the necessity of the measures adopted.

Timely, comprehensive, and clear information about each milestone in the change process is therefore absolutely crucial for implementation to be successful. A professional communication strategy creates trust, reduces resistance, and defines shared goals. In the process, the various interests and expectations of those involved must be addressed directly: while one scope and level of detail will meet the information needs of the company executive and management, this will not suffice for employees, wage bargaining parties, shareholders, supervisory or advisory boards, or investors.

We are familiar with these competing demands and will create an individual, tailor-made communication plan as another key component for successfully implementing your projects.
