Strategic Change Acceleration
Strategic Planning is only the first step in creating sustainable change in an organization and considering over 80% of strategic initiatives never achieve the desired results, it is rarely done effectively. The HDC strategic planning process ensures you will not only create a sustainable plan, but also execute your most important strategic objectives.
Strategy is often misused to describe the actions or intent of a plan, but in reality strategy is the difference in your organization's ability to deliver on its most important goals. Strategies are the change levers that must be pulled to deliver your results. They help an organization define the most important initiatives and provide a map that guides allocation of resources, both people and financial.

Change Acceleration is the process of communicating and empowering your people to buy-in to the plan and engage by committing to provide their energy, efforts and expertise.
The three keys to ensuring success are:
Communication is an organization's life blood in times of change. The ability to target messages based on the impact will let people know what's in it for them. Our experience in stakeholder analysis and strategic communications will enable your vision to be communicated in a way that addresses the primary concerns, highlights the benefits and gives those who need to act, the information they need to take first steps.
Action is often delayed by misaligned processes, lack of resources and competing priorities. By mapping the flow of activities required for your change effort and ensuring alignment of resources and success measures, you not only ensure engagement of your stakeholders, but can measure change effectiveness as well.
"People don't fear change, they fear loss." Often getting people to move to a new place is as simple as getting them to let go of where they are. To increase the effectiveness of your vision and first steps we work to understand what other barriers exist that will prevent successful implementation and integrate appropriate solutions into the change implementation plan.
