Leading your business through change can be one of the most challenging things you may deal with throughout your career. With any downturn in the economy, decisions for survival are essential. With scaling up, margins need to stay intact. Currently, more experts are acting like doomsday prophets than visionaries of the possible. Growing inflation and a fickle workforce have made it harder to manage profitable, consistent operational processes or keep a healthy, collaborative team intact. That is why a reinvention for the current era is needed in your change management.

In the past, the Jack Welch school of Management served businesses well, utilizing Lean/Six Sigma techniques to optimize their workforces. In today’s mix of hybrid personnel, individual contributors, specialty contractors, and essential management (and non-essential overhead), an integrated understanding of mission execution is required to keep the morale fueling the fire in the production line of your deliverables. Gone are the days of doubling down on the workload with a promise of the future. Too many employees will quietly quit or plan their next job while you restart the learning curve for someone else to keep the wheels moving. It’s an expensive time to navigate change so often and so quickly.

So, we shift our Six Sigma best practices to results management and focus on values-based change management as the essential evolution for today’s workplace. In the Managing the Variables workshop, we walk through what it looks like to keep the cylinders firing while mediating the morale it takes to keep your staff engaged. If we learned one thing from COVID-19 (which actually taught us a lot about what we are capable of), we now understand that the multi-factor agility in the workplace can shift to accommodate a variety of needs. Unfortunately, we need to be responsible to those we lead so they can have the security necessary to drive success, even when the experts say that the sky is falling. Join us as we work through the value markers of success, validated by the viable metrics of the DMAIC quality assessment.
