OUR ROADMAPThink about the consequences of a change not going the way you want it to -- confusion, loss of productivity, damage to relationships -- when you add up the impact to productivity (the cost of salaries over time, including your own) plus the impact to sales, it's not hard to see how this hits the bottom line.
Our roadmap helps you see where the real risks are and helps you identify what you can do to reduce or eliminate those risks so you get the return on your change investment. |

Done well, going through change together can actually strengthen teams and lead to a more joyful workplace.

CHANGE & JOYWHAT DOES CHANGE HAVE TO DO WITH JOY AT WORK?Change is a great way to bring joy to work. No matter what change you're making, even if people don't like it, there's a way to make it happen that will create joy -- which we see as a combination of trust, integrity, belonging, cohesion, participation, commitment, accountability, adaptability, growth and respect in the workplace.

Change work is simply an act of respect.
People are not usually upset by what is changing. Where people get upset is how the change is handled. When people feel they are not respected in the process that’s when things go wrong. When they see others are not respected in the process that’s when they feel fear. It’s human nature. This is where we can help you identify and implement the best strategies for your culture and your goals. The ultimate outcome is to strengthen your team so they see themselves as capable, resilient and ready to take on the next change. Joy at work.
OUR LESSON
JOY AT WORK
Six years ago we found ourselves in a terrible place. We were leading a multi-million-dollar project, hundreds of people on our team, delivering for thousands of other employees, about to impact millions of customers and failing miserably in a very public way. After a particularly embarrassing public humiliation – our lowest point – we made a decision to change. We picked ourselves up and led in a completely different way. We had the audacity to believe in ourselves and the people on the team. We believed we all wanted to do great work.
These thoughts were the spark to turn that project around completely. It was still hard work, but it was going to be anyway. What made it different? Instead of each person feeling like they needed to protect themselves, the 250+ members of the team pulled together time and time again. Instead of going way over budget to deliver something substandard, we had an outstanding rollout and millions of happy customers. Instead of scrapping the project we succeeded in a huge way.
In the process we created space for joy on the team. We started with ourselves as leaders, which led to better relationships with and among team members, which led to a giant joyful team, which ultimately led to thousands of joyful employees and millions of happy customers. Since then we’ve been helping leaders create high-performing joyful teams that deliver results.
It started with us. We made the decision to change - the change decision.
Our lesson: Before a change can happen the leader must change first.
