A Roadmap to consciously navigate the complexity of organizational change.
Fundamentally, the CLRM is a strategic navigation system, a roadmap that guides you from project launch through full adoption and sustainment of desired results. The CLRM provides best practice options to choose from to consciously design your change process. By addressing exactly what you need, you intelligently navigate through the complexity of organizational change and ensures:
- Leaders are aligned, committed, educated and playing their change role
- Required shifts in mindset, behavior and culture occur as part of the change
- Stakeholders are engaged early, so they commit fully
- The optimal solution gets created
- Intended ROI is achieved, on time and on budget
- The design solution is adopted and sustained by all stakeholder groups
- Implementation runs smoothly, including any needed course corrections

How is the CLRM different from
Change Management?
- Provides “full-stream,” end-to-end guidance, from launch to design to implementation to sustainment of benefits
- Consciously designs the entire change process rather than only providing people-oriented tools and data
- Addresses culture and integrates both the content of the change with the human needs
- Reaches far beyond stakeholder management, communications and training plans
- Provides guidance and coaching to all levels of stakeholders, including operational executives, change sponsor and project team leaders, and keeps them aligned
- Ensures full scope, including leadership and stakeholder mindset and behavior and culture, and does so from the start
- Provides project launch guidance, including case for change, vision and change strategy development
- Values and streamlines needed course corrections on any aspect of solution design and implementation
- Combines all aspects of the change initiative – content, people and process dynamics – into one integrated plan
- Supports best use of resources, accelerates action and ensures capacity for change with portfolio integration strategy and system
