Real, positive and sustainable change impacts every level of your organization - leadership, groups, individuals, and the organization as a whole. AST's Change Leadership facilitates a smooth transition to your new and upgraded systems by aligning the goals of your organization, management, groups, and individuals. We follow this organization-to-individual approach to change management in order that we can team with you in developing performance measurement processes and models that keep individual performance metrics closely aligned with your strategies and objectives. Conversely, the other half of our change management strategy is to inform your individual stakeholders of the changes that will occur as a result of a new system, and communicating the project status to them on a regular basis.

While there are known outcomes of the Change Leadership effort, the timing and full level of effort required for any given component are not fully known in advance of an assessment of change readiness. Therefore, rather than delivering a pre-defined Change Leadership implementation plan, we begin with an analysis of your organization and people. Using the results of this analysis, we develop a customized Change Leadership Plan that addresses your specific needs.

Only after we hace both fulfilled a your project's mission and provided sound change leadership during your time of change do we consider your project a success. A new or upgraded system must enable your whole organization, as well as individuals, to anticipate and respond to changes. You must also be able to use effectively the tools and information necessary to support your new initiatives.
