Accelerating change adoption​ - Davies

Accelerating change adoption​

A Global Bank needed to drive forward significant transformation. Several projects were behind schedule and the track record of adoption was showing that employee engagement was a significant factor.

The challenge​

A Global Bank needed to drive forward significant transformation. Several projects were behind schedule and the track record of adoption was showing that employee engagement was a significant factor.​​

Our approach​

A new framework for leading and accelerating the pace of change that was rolled out to 600 Change Leaders who then:​

  • Understand the mindset shift required to lead and drive priority changes in the Bank with a focus on adoption​
  • Understand the core attributes that drive successful change and what remediation may be needed​
  • Made personal commitments to advancing changed ways of working as leaders ​

In tandem Change Leaders, Champions and PMs within specific projects were equipped to run a suite of engagement events where employee resistance and misconceptions were at their greatest.​

We delivered three main interventions which both upskilled Change Leaders and also brought Champions onboard to support the ongoing engagement needed for adoption.

Our impact

  • Change Leaders with a common focus on adoption ​
  • A consistent language around crafting business stories to bring people along the journey​
  • At pace ability to review and remediate inflight programmes to improve their chances of success​
  • The impact and value of our approach traced to the bottom line and effectiveness of change spend​
