The Onemind® approach to organisational change

As managers we need to radically re-think our understanding of the nature of change and how we should approach it.

By and large, organisations achieve abysmal results when introducing change initiatives. Eighty per cent of all corporate initiatives fail, with the commercial sector’s record being equally catastrophic as the public sector’s.

In our research, we have observed that people with experience of working in organisations can generally repeat the rhetoric about how best to introduce change. However, this knowing is rarely used. How is it then, when we have the way almost in our grasp, we invariably fumble it? There are many lists on why organisations fumble change, but most of these only reflect the ‘pet-hates’ of their compilers.

In 1998, we financed and initiated a six-year research program into failed initiatives with the objective of identifying the true causes of failure and to develop a set of generic principles to address these.

As a result of this research, we constructed the Onemind® approach, with generic rules of conduct and a raft of management techniques, that can reverse the persistent 80/20 change initiative failure record.

Onemind comprises the knowledge base, the analysis, and the rigorous practical technologies to arm senior executives, and programme, project and functional managers with a structured generic approach to achieving change, giving their initiatives a greater than eighty percent probability of successful implementation.

At last it is possible to move beyond empty rhetoric and into effective action.

Making a Difference

Onemind is a comprehensive description of how to really succeed at organisational change.

This is because it makes the connection between our day-to-day behaviours and the rhetoric of intention, purpose, values, relationships, process, control, scope and performance. It connects the organisational with the personal.

Onemind will help you as a business professional to:

  • Change your perspective on how organisational change is brought about and how you can contribute to it more effectively.
  • Use techniques and processes that support applying Onemind.
  • Be able to work with others to succeed at change initiatives while reducing your workload.
