Change Management from Consultants Who Understand That Every Obstacle Opens a New Road
Taking the Mystery Out of How To Make Change Successful
Change can be difficult. Every new process needs to be learned, every new technology solution needs to be implemented and integrated, and your people need to be made comfortable. There’s a lot that can go wrong. We get all that. That’s why our change management action plan makes sure changes to your business processes and technology are adopted by front-line resources.
Change Management is a science and an art. We’ll give you both.
Our Change Management Pivots On Communication Planning and Implementation
By Constituent
There are a lot of different audiences in your organization. They need messaging that addresses their unique concerns and needs. We help you plan targeted, relevant, focused communication.
By Method
Emails. IMs. Meetings in the break room. 1x1s. There are a lot of different ways to communicate, and we’ll make sure each new Change is delivered in the most impactful way.
By Frequency
Too few messages leads to confusion, and too many can lead to overwhelming paralysis. The right messaging frequency isn’t an afterthought: it’s crucial to successful change implementation.

“The team at Himes Consulting was quick to add value as part of our ever changing organization. They came in and proved themselves with a very tactical initial project and subsequently participated on both strategic and tactical efforts in different areas of the organization. In a highly regulated environment, making fact-based decisions was a requirement for our Sr. Leadership team to be successful. The Himes recommendations provided this perspective and helped us better understand the costs and the potential benefits of our upcoming implementations.”

Moving Forward By Building Momentum
How does a boulder get downhill? By starting to roll. And that’s what we’ll do. We make sure that we build momentum for your project, piece by piece. That’s means participant buy-in. It means getting used to new processes and systems. It means rewards. It means knowing that things will keep getting better. Our change management action plan includes:
- Short-term and long term reward and incentives
- Hard incentives (e.g., monetary prizes, gift cards, movie certificates, or other tangible items)
- Soft incentives (e.g., being able to wear jeans to work, or even preferred parking spaces)
- Team rewards
- Recognition (e.g., certificates, executive commendations, workspace display)
Change needs everyone to keep moving forward. We’ll clear the path.
More Efficient Processes Make Everyone’s Job Easier.
We don’t propose Change for the sake of change. We do it because systems are stuck, processes are bottlenecked, and pipelines and jammed. Your employees know what doesn’t work from day-to-day. Our consulting makes it work, and our Change Management helps everyone understand that they’ll be more productive, more efficient, and less frustrated.
