Change Management – A Relocation Journey

A relocation is a great opportunity to realign your team. A relocation journey is emotionally challenging as a process, and marks a distinct disruption in both the private and working life. We want to facilitate teams along this disruptive change. Our change management workshops offer support in a two-layered approach

By addressing issues of emotional safety and collective needs during the transition period to approach the relocation with an open mindset
By using the momentum and the disruptive character of the relocation process as a sweet spot to engage the team to kick-off and develop new cultural, procedural or spacial change. Let’s start this journey together.

Flexibility

Our Workshops

Change Management is by its very nature highly contextual and each workshop setting depends on the needs, issues and size of the team. The presented formats can be viewed as a starting point for custom designed workshops, closely tailored to the individual needs of our clients. All our services cater to ensuring customer satisfaction. This represents the focus of our business thinking and therefore activities.

Workshop

Relocation Journey

How do you address fears concerning a relocation and get the team excited about the new destination? The Relocation Journey Workshop guides teams through this period of transition by helping to create a common desirable vision of the new location. Additionally, a safe space to voice personal hopes, fears and doubts is created. Before the team can start their journey, they will collectively decide which old habits and bad routines they will leave behind. Afterwards, areas of opportunity for the new location are identified for rapid ideation: new roles, rules, rituals (meetings), artifacts, community and collaboration spaces or supporting functions. Rough prototypes of the best ideas are created and pitched in front of the team. This process helps team members to align on a common vision and create ownership for their new location.

Workshop

The Team Tree

Many teams are facing the same challenge today: How can they reinvent themselves in the face of new challenges and how can they start a transformation that really changes the mindset and the structure of the team? The two-day Team Tree framework is a deep dive into team building, personal development and shared goals. The workshop setting will take you on a journey into the creation and leadership of motivated and high performing teams, rich learning spaces and powerful creative processes. By visualizing personal development and giving voice to the collective values, the team is able to define its mode of collaboration. Additionally, inner and outer driving factors are (re)evaluated and new roles and rituals are tested.

What makes this framework relevant:

Relocations and new team settings are a source of uncertainty and stress for teams and individuals. Psychological safety is the main predictor for team performance and helps employees to feel at home during and after a relocation process. Frameworks from this workshop can be used by the team for regular team retrospectives. The Team Tree has been tried and tested for years, in teams of all sizes.

Workshop

Tough Decision Workshop

The half-day New Location – Tough Decisions workshop helps teams to address unsolved issues, navigate through difficult topics and collectively agree on solutions. Typically, difficult topics result in long meetings that end with the feeling that your time has been wasted and no clear outcome has been defined. This framework systematically cuts out unnecessary discussion and replaces it with a rapid creation of a number of ideas and then voting on the best one to execute. The teams’ decision process is moderated by experienced coaches using methods such as the systemic consensus or the interactive priorisation. This workshop helps your team to speed up the time it takes to make decisions and get everyone involved. After all, creative problem solving and a structured conversation within the team are key elements to success.
