Our approach takes into account the complexity of business today. The rate of change is increasing at tremendous speed and the need for a new world approach to consultancy is required. Our approach is based on the following proven principles:
Consultants need to transfer capability to clients. Although problems will always exist and consultants may be called upon as a result of them, the model of the consultant as problem solver no longer holds. In an environment of continual learning, the job of the consultant is to build problem solving ability into the organisation. The Successfactory approach is to transfer skill and knowledge to the client.
Consultants and clients need to be equal partners. The model of consultant as expert still has some value, but the idea that consultants have all the ideas and take over the responsibility is obsolete. In a post-empowerment organisational world, partnership and the team approach are the norm. The Successfactory consulting approach exemplifies this.
Consultants and clients need to work on whole systems. While there will always be some need for specialised interventions regarding compensation issues, business processes, IT, and the like, it is no longer feasible to work on one part of the system without paying attention to the whole. In modern organisations, each part of the whole interacts with each other part to share information, responsibilities, and goals; and consultants will help map and improve these relationships. At the Succcessfactory we work on the whole system.
Consultants and clients need to involve all levels of the organisation. Hierarchy may always exist and interventions may be made at the top, but contemporary organisations know that the decision making process must be extended through every level. In an era in which traditional organisation charts are passé, consulting will be characterised by increasing the involvement of all members of the organisation. At the Successfactory we take an inclusive approach to improving results.
Consultants and clients will make change management business as usual. Reorganisation and reengineering will remain useful practices, but there will no longer be an expectation that one-shot endeavours can solve organisational difficulties. In a time of constant and fast-paced change, external consultants will work with clients, internal consultants, and employees so that facilitation, consulting, and related skills are built into the organisation. At the Successfactory we help your organisation to thrive on change.
