Change management

Increase support for a new way of working within your organization

Change is a process, not an event!

Of course, there will be resistance. A new way of working has a significant impact on behavior and comfort. You will need to guide your teams through the transition, and this is where brainmove’s change managers come in. We develop an integrated process with a focus on strong internal communication and well-thought-out support.

Our services:
Developing a change plan

A good change plan is pragmatic and provides direction for your transition process. The plan addresses resistance within the organization by activating managers. We ensure user support and disseminate the necessary information within the organization at the right time. brainmove is Prosci certified and uses the ADKAR methodology to create your change plan. We strongly believe in tactical participation. Our focus is primarily on discussing the “how.” The “why” is clearly defined in advance as part of the vision.

Through participation and co-creation, we drive change in your organization: from developing a new mission to the proper use of the workplace concept. We engage all employees: the leadership, managers, and staff at all levels. One of our methods, for example, is activating an ambassador group that represents the teams. They come together to discuss the ‘how.’ How will we collaborate in the future? How will we use the different workplace types? What agreements are necessary for this? Safe participation turns challenges into solutions.

What behavior is expected in an activity-based or hybrid work environment? How should we use the workspaces? What agreements are necessary to effectively manage remote work? How do we handle visitors? brainmove helps you quickly establish clear agreements within your organization and formalize them into an appealing charter. We use a participative and pragmatic methodology to swiftly create a clear and widely supported set of agreements.

Hybrid working has a significant impact on our leadership style. brainmove supports managers in leading their teams remotely. Remote collaboration requires an adapted leadership role and has a significant impact on managers’ behavior. Through training, workshops, and coaching, we strengthen leadership within your organization. Has your HR department already outlined a leadership program? No problem! Our experts develop an approach that seamlessly complements your HR strategy.

Smooth hybrid collaboration is essential for innovation and knowledge sharing within your organization. We develop a tailored guidance program and provide assistance through training, information sessions, workshops, and coaching. The focus is on promoting knowledge sharing and enhancing innovation when collaborating remotely. Using our hybrid scan, we assess the maturity of hybrid collaboration within your organization.

Relocation can be smooth and stress-free when you involve brainmove. We guide your organization through the entire moving process. We inventory your furniture and IT equipment, create a detailed plan, develop a packing strategy, and coordinate the entire relocation journey. Meanwhile, we bring calm to your organization through clear communication about the move.

Changing behavior within an organization is possible, but it requires a comprehensive support program. The psychologists at brainmove have a wide range of techniques to achieve behavioral change through rewarding and nudging. Would you like to improve collaboration? Are you identifying counterproductive behavior? Is it difficult to motivate your people? We engage middle management and ensure a structured support program through workshops, training, and information sessions, leading to significant behavioral changes.

Setting up and supporting internal communication

To enable a successful transition, a clear communication plan is essential. brainmove identifies the key messages and stakeholders, developing out-of-the-box actions to inform and engage your people. We use a wide range of channels, combining online actions with physical materials. “You cannot over-communicate”: in the context of a change process, this is a principle we hold dear.

Are you interested in change management to lead transition projects yourself? Does your organization feel the need for a customized training program? We can increase the success of a change process by engaging leaders and project managers in the process. We offer a tailored training program for your organization, enabling you to train internal staff who can then take on the role of change managers. The consultants at brainmove are also ADKAR certified, so you can rely on a proven and evidence-based approach.

A new way of working has a significant impact on your teams. brainmove prepares your employees for this change. We organize tailored training sessions for your target audience to inform them and provide learning opportunities to help them adapt their behavior in the workplace. We do this through playful and interactive methods, such as the Workplace Game. This interactive game methodology will help you address behavior, values, and agreements within your organization.

The home office has become an integral part of business operations. Processes are supported from home, which impacts the quality of collaboration. brainmove evaluates the quality of remote work and develops an action plan to make adjustments where needed. We can also support you in developing an innovative remote work policy.

What gets measured gets managed! In order to make the right decisions, we need to objectively assess the current state of our work environment. brainmove masters various measurement methods, including conducting employee surveys and organizing targeted focus groups. We are also certified by Leesman. Using this independent, quantitative measurement method, you can benchmark against similar organizations in an international context. Ideally, we conduct both pre- and post-assessments to capture the actual impact of a program.

Changing the work environment often has a significant impact on collaboration within the organization and can lead to resistance from employees. A prepared employer is worth two. We can assist you in assessing the readiness for change within your organization. Using smart surveys or working groups, we identify potential bottlenecks. We then develop a concrete action plan to guide the change process in the right direction.

Transitioning to a new way of collaborating is not without challenges. After moving into a new work environment, it is essential to closely monitor the evolution of collaboration and develop targeted improvement actions. These are often small interventions with a significant impact. We use a participative methodology to get started. We identify areas for improvement in collaboration with the involved teams and create a tailored action plan.
