Executive summary
Organizational Change
Globalization and constant innovation of technology result in a constantly evolving business environment. Social media and mobile adaptability have revolutionized business. The effect of this is an ever increasing need for change, and therefore change management. The growth in technology also has a secondary effect of increasing the availability and therefore accountability of knowledge. Easily accessible information has resulted in unprecedented scrutiny from stakeholders resulting in increased pressure on management. Appleton Greene & Co
Due to the growth of technology, modern organizational change is largely motivated by exterior innovations rather than internal factors. When these developments occur, the organizations that adapt quickest create a competitive advantage for themselves, while the companies that refuse to change get left behind. This can result in drastic profit and/or market share losses. People are resistant to change in organizations because it can be uncomfortable. The notion of doing things this way, because ‘this is the way we have always done them’, can be particularly hard to overcome. Furthermore, in cases where a company has seen declining fortunes, for a manager or executive to view themselves as a key part of the problem can be very humbling. Appleton Greene & Co
With the business environment experiencing so much change, organizations must then learn to become comfortable with change as well. Therefore, the ability to manage and adapt to organizational change is an essential ability required in the workplace today. Organizational change directly affects all departments and employees. The entire company must learn how to handle changes to the organization. The effectiveness of change management can have a strong positive or negative impact on employee morale. This service approaches organization change a broad perspective formed by over three decades of experience and success across industry and functional lines. Whether in the development and implementation of new business process for development stage companies to the integration of acquisitions for more mature companies, change management is critical to a company’s success. The service can be focused across the enterprise and is appropriate for leaders at all levels of the organization. Appleton Greene & Co
Service Methodology
Regardless of the size of your company or the specific issue requiring change, organizational change management should begin with a systematic diagnosis of the current situation in order to determine both the need for and the capability to change. In the case of an early stage company it may be a need to increase efficiency by reorganizing workflow or the utilization of subject matter experts. In the case of an acquisition it may be the need to do things consistently across the enterprise or the elimination of dual function. Appleton Greene & Co
In every case, the most critical aspect leading to a successful implementation is a company’s ability to win the buy-in of their organization’s employees on the change. Effectively managing organizational change is a four-step process: Recognizing the changes in the broader business environment; Developing the necessary adjustments for the company’s needs; Training employees on the appropriate changes; Winning the support of the employees with the persuasiveness of the appropriate adjustments. Change management processes should include creative marketing to enable communication between changing audiences, as well as deep social understanding about leadership styles and group dynamics. The objectives, content, and process of change should all be specified as part of a change management communication plan. Appleton Greene & Co

Service Mission
As a discipline, change management has been around for decades. It is a constant at the largest and most respected consulting companies. It has become core course study at the most notable business schools. Yet, it continues to be the undoing of many companies. Change management requires discipline, focus and dedication to the plan for change. My goal is to gently guide the company through the steps of change ensuring a positive outcome. I remain respectful of company culture – it need not change. I am respectful of the values of the Company and strive to reinforce areas of strength and work only on areas of change, which guarantees continuity in business and the sustainability of any project. I work side by side with change proponents and thought leaders until we can reach not only a business success but also an increase in motivation and dedication of the employee base, evidence of long term success in this endeavor. All companies, large and small can benefit. Appleton Greene & Co
Over more than 25 years in business I have been involved in the acquisition and integration of over 100 business, each requiring a clear and careful approach to ensure that the best and brightest remain engaged while at the same time improving efficiency and process – in effect, making change. I also have significant experience in development stage and high growth companies, each in their own way requiring change to evolve to the next level of organization. Appleton Greene & Co
