Change is the norm today, and the ability to manage it effectively largely determines an organization’s success. Change management plays a crucial role in this. This goes beyond just making ambitious plans—it’s about guiding people in a new direction and supporting them in embracing transformation. Since joining Consultday, I’ve learned how important it is to balance a solid change strategy with daily operations. 

What is Change Management? 

Change management is the process through which organizations ensure that an HR transition runs smoothly and that the benefits of change are truly realized. This requires a clear approach and close collaboration between all stakeholders. At Consultday, we believe in developing tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of each organization. 

A structured approach is key—it helps reduce uncertainty, clarify objectives, and ensure that everyone understands what is expected of them. I combine strategic insight with practical execution, guiding organizations from the first steps to a stable new reality. 

A practical approach based on the PROSCI method 

As consultants, we combine our expertise in HR and change management with a structured approach that puts people at the center. The resulting Change Management Plan is based on the following pillars that are a part of the PROSCI method for change management: 

1. Awareness: Ensure understanding and acceptance of the importance of this change. 
2. Desire: Motivate employees and stakeholders to actively participate in the change. 
3. Knowledge: Provide all necessary training and information for a successful implementation. 
4. Ability: Remove barriers and offer both requested and proactive support to help employees effectively adopt new processes. 
5. Reinforcement: Sustain the change by celebrating successes and providing ongoing support. 

Change and Consultday 

Time and again, we see that every organization is different. My experience has taught me that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to change. That’s why our approach consists of: 

• Creating understanding for change: The key to success is simple—change must be embraced from top-down. Leadership must not only believe in the new way of working, but also embody the cultural shift that comes with an HR transformation. 

• Stakeholder analysis and engagement: Identifying key stakeholders and determining the best way to involve them. This creates support and reduces resistance. 

• Tailored communication: Clear and targeted communication makes all the difference. I help organizations develop effective communication plans that align with the needs of different audiences. 

• Training and support: Successfully adopting change requires the right skills and knowledge. Through our training programs, we prepare employees and leaders for their new roles. 

Laying the foundation for success 

I believe that a ‘change mindset’ is the foundation for success—from the top down. This means not just creating plans but also staying flexible and anticipating what the future holds. I help organizations see change as a strategic advantage and an ongoing process, ensuring that both the organization and its people become more adaptable. 

Let’s talk about change management 

Change brings challenges, but it also offers tremendous opportunities. With the right approach, any organization can seize these opportunities and emerge stronger from the transition. My colleagues at Consultday and I help organizations embrace change with practical solutions tailored to their specific situations. Together, we ensure that change is not an obstacle but a springboard to (HR) success. Because let’s be honest—who wants to stand still when you can move forward? 😉

When will you and I talk about your need for change?
