Change Management is a structured, intentional approach that prepares, equips, and supports individuals and teams through transitions. It reduces resistance, accelerates adoption, stabilises performance, and increases the likelihood that your investment delivers measurable value.
In today’s volatile environment, transformation fails not because of strategy gaps—but because people are not taken along the journey.
Your approach is grounded in:
Industry-specific practices rather than generic models.
Behavioral drivers, using frameworks such as PROSCI, COM-B and SCARF to shift mindsets.
Integrated operating model alignment across processes, systems, capability, and culture.
Practical tools and enablement, not theoretical training.
Measurable adoption and sustainability, tracked through dashboards and change KPIs.
It’s not change “theory”—it’s change embedded into operations.
We work across the full spectrum of organisational change, including:
Digital and technology implementations
Operating model redesign
Supply chain transformation
Process optimisation and standardisation
Strategy rollouts
Leadership development and culture change
Organisational restructuring and transition management
If people need to think, work, or behave differently—this is where we excel.
Immediately. Change Management is most effective when integrated from project inception—not when issues appear later. Early involvement ensures:
Stakeholder alignment
Risk and resistance mitigation
Capability readiness
A communication and training roadmap
Stabilisation of operations post-go-live
Late involvement often means higher costs and avoidable delays.
Deliverables may include:
Stakeholder impact assessments
Behavioral and readiness assessments
Change strategy and roadmap
Change risk register
Communication plans and assets
Training needs analysis and capability uplift plans
Leadership alignment and coaching
Change networks and governance structures
Adoption dashboards and sustainability metrics
Post-implementation support and reinforcement plans
Success is tracked through adoption, utilisation, proficiency, and business outcomes.
Typical indicators include:
Speed of transition and stabilisation
Reduction in resistance or rework
Process compliance and behavioral shifts
KPI improvements (cost, productivity, service levels, cycle time, etc.)
System usage metrics and error rates
Stakeholder sentiment and engagement
Achievement of ROI and performance uplift
Yes—our work integrates:
FulcrumSC™ (Align – Discover – Improve – Engage – Sustain)
CiXMethod™ (Capability-in-Execution for real behaviour change)
PROSCI, SCARF, COM-B, ADKAR (where relevant)
Leading industry frameworks (supply chain, operations, digital adoption)
All frameworks are adapted to your sector and organisational context.
We treat resistance as data, not defiance.
Approaches include:
Targeted stakeholder engagement
Active listening and mapping root causes
Behavioral nudges
Leadership coaching
Skill upliftment and confidence building
Reinforcement and stabilisation tactics
Resistance usually reflects fear, capability gaps, or poor communication—our frameworks address all three.
Our practice spans:
FMCG, manufacturing, retail, logistics
Public health and pharmaceuticals
Financial services
Mining and petrochemicals
Hospitality and QSR
Digital and technology
Public sector and state entities
Higher education and skills development
The differentiator: industry-specific operating realities shape our approach.
Because without Change Management:
Projects overspend
Timelines slip
Adoption lags
Employees disengage
Benefits are never realised
Performance deteriorates
With Change Management:
Adoption accelerates
Risks reduce
Leaders align
ROI improves
Employees transition confidently
Business performance stabilises faster
It’s not a cost—it’s a value multiplier.
A Supply Chain Strategy Sprint is a rapid, intensive, insight-driven process that defines the organisation’s strategic priorities, improvement levers, capability gaps, and performance roadmap. It enables leaders to move from complexity to clarity in weeks, not months—ensuring the organisation is aligned behind a targeted, industry-relevant supply chain strategy.
Because today’s environment demands speed, adaptability, and pragmatism, not long theoretical analyses.
A Sprint provides:
Faster decision-making and execution alignment
Insight-driven prioritisation
Focused investment and resource allocation
Clear KPIs linked to value and performance
Immediate actions that create momentum
A blueprint that is actionable—not a shelf document
The value lies in time-to-impact.
Deep sector expertise across Africa and global markets
Practical operating experience—not academic consulting
Integrated strategy + capability + change approach
Rapid delivery without sacrificing depth
Tools, templates, and methodologies that teams can use immediately
Clarity, alignment, and execution built into the design
This is strategy with real-world traction.
The Sprint follows a structured five-step approach:
Context & Landscape Assessment - Drivers, risks, disruptions, trends, and operating realities.
KPI Definition & Performance Baseline - Current state performance, value drivers, and benchmarking.
Gap & Inefficiency Identification - Process, technology, data, capability, service, and cost gaps.
Best Practice Selection - Industry-proven solutions aligned to your operating environment.
Strategic Prioritisation & Roadmap - Clear priorities, implementation steps, success measures, and quick wins.
This ensures the strategy is anchored in evidence, not opinion.
The Sprint delivers a robust strategic pack, including:
Context assessment (internal + external drivers)
Industry-relevant maturity assessment
Defined strategic priorities
Key performance indicators (KPIs) and value levers
Gap analysis and root causes
Functional and cross-functional improvement roadmap
12-month implementation blueprint

Unclear priorities and performance expectations
Inefficient cost structures and operational bottlenecks
Lack of visibility and data-driven decision-making
Overwhelmed leaders who need clarity quickly
Misalignment between strategy, processes, and people
Poor execution due to lack of structure or ownership
The Sprint turns these barriers into actionable strategic direction.
