Managing Change

Managing organisations through periods of change can be very demanding. Affinis LbD has a wealth of experience of helping large and small organisations (180 – 2800 w.t.e.).

Changes in working methods, organisation structure and reporting, organisation size, work location all require careful planning and implementation to be successful.

Implementing New Work Methods

Affinis LbD works with a range of clients from Blue Chips to SMEs on the introduction of new ways of working.

Partnering with technical experts our role is to ensure that the human element of introducing new technology is effectively managed.

Projects have included: moving a large organisation to electronic record keeping; introducing new grades of “semi-professional” staff; holding production operatives responsible for their own machine maintenance and waste levels.

Continuous Improvement

Affinis LbD staff have introduced Six Sigma, Kaizen, Action learning and other continuous improvement methodologies in manufacturing and service environments.

Simply learning the tools of a CI methodology will not generate the full potential benefits. Introducing CI is for most organisations a major cultural and practical change programme. This requires careful preparation and thorough implementation support.

Problem solving

Taking structured approaches to problem solving can usually generate options for seemingly intractable problems.

Using proven improvement tools Affinis LbD assists clients to tackle problems at root cause rather than symptomatically.

Kick Starting Faltering Projects

Should your project “run out of steam” or lose direction - what are the options?

Affinis LbD can help. We will evaluate the current situation, report on shortfalls, recommend new targets, establish communication protocols and offer continuing support to the project manager.

Managing Corporate Culture

Your organisation’s culture is critical to its success. Poorly aligned culture will sap the energy of your best staff and hide the shortcomings of your less good employees.

Managing culture is possible and ultimately rewarding for all stakeholders.

Affinis LbD is especially strong in this area, with both academic and practical expertise. Call for an initial discussion.
