How we work
-
- Contrary to the big consulting firms, we don’t bait & switch: our president & co-founder personally leads all consulting and most learning engagements – from beginning to end; and we don’t involve junior consultants.
- Also, we love transferring our expertise to our clients (it might not make the most business sense, but it’s the right thing to do).
- We work in tight partnerships with our clients (co-creation) – at all levels of the organization. Why? Because it’s the only way to: A) succeed with the transformation; B) build nimble change capabilities. Our unique track record is directly related to this partnership model. It also explains why our firm is structured as a boutique agency: when working closely with clients, there is no need for an army of consultants!
- We commit to a fixed price and focus on delivering the outcome-based objectives we agreed upon.
- We are super flexible in our approach (which is one of the reasons for our fixed-price philosophy) – after all, being nimble is our core business!
Nimble toolkit
- First and foremost The ORCHANGO Method™ for nimble change leadership – as opposed to traditional (sluggish) change management – which is both unique and unmatched!
- Change Stethoscope™.
- Six Change Personas™.
- Learn and Execute® methodology.
- Culture Shift methodology.
- Agile Decision-Making methodology.
- CHECK UP!™ survey.
- And more (see the above menu “ Our toolkit includes”)…
Track record
- Thanks to the above, we are proud to report a 100% success rate with corporate transformations – over a 30-year period!!! This includes the period prior to the launch of ORCHANGO, when our president & co-founder Edmond Mellina led challenging transformations as an executive. Of course, we need to be directly and significantly involved to ensure success.
- Our track record must be contrasted with the average success rate of transformations, which has remained at around 30% since the first independent research was conducted about it four decades ago…
Game simulation
The STEP UP!™ Game – a super-engaging simulation that feels all too real – is central to our flagship NIMBLE CHANGE LEADERSHIP program for change agility.
It features the Six Change Personas™; and is specifically designed to master a critical skill for change-makers: light-side politics™ (i.e. leveraging with integrity the influences at play).
