MANAGING CUTS & NEW GROWTH
Our approach to transforming your organization
In tough times it is necessary to make hard cuts to downsize, while at the same time promoting new growth opportunities. The “Un:balanced Transformation” approach provides managers and consultants with essential models and instruments for:
- effectively steering change projects with seemingly contradictory targets and dynamics
- implementing cuts, while at the same time
- encouraging new growth and innovation
- utilizing the opportunities and navigating the challenges of different change phases
- doing the power of figures and the logics of feelings justice.
Case studies illustrate the Un:balanced Transformation framework in action and give insight into change management practice. Specific designs and tested interventions on how to steer change projects effectively through different phases provide practical tools for managers.
Barbara Heitger and Alexander Doujak have integrated new concepts for changing the change, resilience and agility, change communication and innovation, for the development of new business models and virtual work and added new case studies and interventions.
