About Mary Simcic

I am a Change Management Practitioner with 15+ years experience planning, managing, and delivering change initiatives in organisations. I enjoy rolling up my sleeves and actually doing change,Yet, what I enjoy more is designing change that enhances internal change capability, brings everyone on the journey & sets up change for sustained success. Why you need change management? Believe it or not - employees ARE willing to change- the systems they're using- the processes they're following- their ways of working- their mindset or behaviours,(or whatever the change happens to be). However, if the change initiative isn't well organised and leaders don't seem to be aligned, regardless of what's changing - even if for the better - it won't stick! Afterall, why should employees change when leaders are sending mixed messages? Even when there is alignment and agreement on the change, is the case for change clear and compellingl to those who will be impacted by it. When people don't understand why they are changing, that's when confusion, resistance, and perhaps even sabotage is likely arise. Even if this does not delay implementation, it will probably delay adoption of change and potential benefits of change being realised. Given that success depends ultimately on people - using a system, following processes, adapting their ways of working - it's essential they know what it means for them and what they need to do differently. A thoughtfully planned approach to change, a rythym that works for the business, good change sponsorship ais more likely to bring people involved in change on the journey. Where do you start? To set change up for success, you need- to clarify what type of change you've got - understand the change impacts and risks - identify the impacted stakeholders - a compelling case for change to accelerate engagement - secure senior sponsorship - ensure leaders are aligned - set a pace and rythym that the works for the business Why work with me?
