The world is changing: Globalization. Digitalization. Worldwide crisis situations. Changing work environments. Companies and organizations have to adapt more and more often and, above all, react more and more quickly. Changes or transformations in companies are the order of the day. The range is wide: new sales markets or technologies. Innovative products or services. Changed processes or structures. Change occurs on both a small and a large scale. Most changes are very individual - just like your company. They are rarely predictable and always represent an enormous challenge.

A new word construct has already found its way into the business world for this: VUCA. The American acronym stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. VUCA describes the current situation: uncertain, fast, complex and unpredictable. Old structures and processes only function to a limited extent or not at all. Familiar management tools fail. In order to successfully manage change in organizations, experienced partners and reliable companions are needed who think and act in a networked and sustainable manner.

There are many reasons why changes do not succeed: For example, the wrong approaches or lack of communication. But most changes do not fail because of the concept, the strategy or the planning. They fail because of people. Because the most important success factors for sustainable, effective change in companies are: Acceptance, unity among management, employee commitment, trust, constructive handling of resistance, good communication, fairness in the process, transparency. In short: So-called soft factors become hard factors when it comes to change!

That is why change processes are very strenuous for many companies. Some may also not have the courage or the necessary strength to create important changes on their own. They simply lack the experience and core competence of change management. That's why more and more organizations and companies - of all sizes, by the way - are using external change consultants.
