Change Management, Communications and Training

Most major implementation result in significant changes to the existing business, processes, and procedures. These changes must be managed & communicated to the appropriate audiences in a timely manner. Training must also be provided to those affected by the changes to ensure that that the business can function amidst the change. Jackson LMS gets involved from the onset of a project and remains engaged throughout the process until the very end. This enables us to provide a very detailed level of service & commitment not often seen in the consulting arena. 

The strategic management of human capital calls for a transformation in the employment, deployment, development and evaluation of employees with results in mind. Holistic human capital management requires incorporating all pertinent data into your human capital decisions. 

What is capital?

Human Capital
The intersection of an organization’s skills, the required roles, and the people available.

Skills
Skills includes hard skills, leadership, business skills and interpersonal skills.

Roles
Roles pertains to jobs, project roles and positions within the organization.

People
People are the key; finding people with the right skills, competencies, experience and education to fill the necessary roles.

Human Capital Management
True human capital management is more than just an HR function. It requires strategic analysis of the entire organization. The more proactive an organization is, the more the organization will have the necessary human capital on hand rather than having to “build” or “buy”.

Change management
Change management is somewhat of a misnomer. What is more important is change leadership. Jackson LMS Associates understands this difference and excels at leading companies through large and small changes.

  • Establish a Sense of Urgency – When people understand that a change is based on need, not something arbitrary, they will embrace the change faster and build momentum.
  • Clarify and Share the Vision – Leaders must spread that same picture throughout the organization, continually reinterpreting it to make it meaningful and relevant according to the different ways that stakeholders will be impacted in that future state.
  • Increase Change Capability – When stakeholders and leaders have confidence in their ability to change, they are more open to it… less afraid of it… and able to progress more rapidly through the cycle and to succeed.
  • Establish Change Communication – When news and information is liberally shared, CREDIBLY, on time, with the right context, it crowds out fear, ignorance, rumors, frustration, and people find more courage to take on something new.
  • Involve Stakeholders – Stakeholder involvement is critical if a transformation effort is to ever achieve a critical mass of momentum to carry it through the defining moments.
  • Engage Leadership at All Levels – Leader commitment at all levels must happen if high level leaders don’t want to find themselves pushing the proverbial piece of string.
  • Implement Project Integration – Be aware of parallel efforts outside of yours, and how they impact ability to enable change and reach the desired end state.
  • Enhance Performance and Organization Alignment – Performance Levers (Leadership Effectiveness, Organization Alignment, Performance & Incentives Alignment, Communication, Education & Professional Development, Staffing & Deployment) help shape and reinforce desired behavior that sustains a transformation.
