Redefining quality is about creating a “learning organisation” that is quick to change, avoids excessive costs and the reputational impacts of getting it wrong.

Why is it important to Accelerate Change?

If you accelerate change, significant costs can be reduced or avoided, key resources can be released earlier and the benefits of transformation will start to accrue more quickly. Oakland employs its experience and expertise to help change programmes move quickly but effectively.

Speed of Change Risks

• Projects fail to meet their objectives through a loss of momentum, which leads to stalled progress
• Benefits realisation is delayed while change is taking too long
• Going slow puts more pressure on critical resources because key personnel are tied up in projects
• Slipping back down the curve due to loss of capability

How to Accelerate Change

A structured approach to organisational change, grounded in researched best practice can be a useful guide in accelerating change – see the Oakland Figure 8 Model. Successful change is possible when readiness is achieved before you start changing processes and implementing other changes such as organisational structural. This ensures that there is sufficient urgency and direction so change is not stalled or heads off in the wrong direction, which in turn accelerates the change process.
