ABOUT US

• We Are About Less Talk, More Action

• McFarlane Change Management is not your typical management consultancy firm. We are all about people and results. We specialise in helping organisations drive change that is sustainable, effective and tied to real outcomes. We do this through effective simplicity.
  
  We do not sell pre-made solutions. We actually listen and understand our clients' needs before leveraging the best business improvement and project management techniques to develop a tailored change management program that gives the greatest return. Our emphasis on coaching, keeping it simple and ensuring sustainability makes us a market leader.

• Our change managers are real people who are excellent with change management and just as good with people. They bring a wealth of experience in business improvement, change management and strategy development to the table. Their hand-on approach and ability to work across all levels of the organisation is what makes us different. You will see.

SERVICES

• Planning And Executing Business Improvement Initiatives Instituting A Culture Of Continuous Improvement Becoming And Remaining A Lean Business Designing And Developing An Effective Organization Crisis Management

• We offer a range of services to help organisations transition from their current state to desired state. Basically, we help organisations do better through SIMPLICITY, EFFECTIVENESS & INNOVATION.

  We provide clients with a structured and systematic approach to successfully putting business improvements into action. We work your your people to create an easily-understandable picture of the issues, the threats and the opportunities, help to remove the operational and emotional distractions, put in place a clear program that sets out what needs to be done first and the value it will deliver. We use our online excellence in execution © system for structured process focused on coaching all stakeholders through the process in order to build a more capable organization.

  People learn more every minute they live and it is these learning's that guide us in what to do more, or less, of in our daily lives. And just like people organizations do the same, although unfortunately most do not respond to these learning's and promote a continual spiral of fire-fighting and frustration.
  
  We work with the management team to develop a system that ensures that these company learning's are being captured in a systematic way that enables companies to use this information to respond accordingly. Once the company learning's are captured we make sure continuous improvement initiatives are aligned to business strategy and that the company has the right internal structure for success.

  We work with organisation's to identify what 'lean' looks like for each and every client as too often a generic lean process is applied without success. Becoming and remaining 'Lean' means different things for different organizations as we work through the whole process of understanding this with all levels of the organization.
  
  We first work with the senior executive team to ensure that improvements to operations align to a broader business strategy and are ultimately perceived by customers as bringing benefits to them. We then engage and skill all levels of management and employees to implement real programs that: reduce waste, increase throughput, free production capability, improve the workspace and workflow, remove unnecessary steps, improve planning and organisation, eliminate bottlenecks and waiting times, and reduce inventory

  Mcfarlane Change Management provides clients with the fundamental research, an abundance of hands-on experience and the practical know-how to design and develop a truly effective organisation, one that can perform now and has the capacity to grow and to improve.
  
  Our services go well beyond basic definitions of roles, responsibilities and pay structures. We encompass all the key elements, starting with the realities of the location, right through to training, rotations, performance management, succession planning, recognition and reward. Everything is planned, everything aligns, and everything is properly communicated.

  Mcfarlane Change Management is the first point of call when organisation's experience significant problems that create a high risk situation and improvements are needed immediately. Often the problem is known although the organisation does not have the experience or 'horse-power' to resolve it in the time required.
  
  We offer a structured 'crisis management' approach that applies a high level of intensity & experience to an urgent situation in order to get improvement immediately. This system involves working with all stakeholders to understand the root cause of the problem and applying a controlled project management approach to resolving it . All learning's from the situation are then fed back to the organisation to ensure this same situation does not arise again

• 

  We then work alongside the company's middle and lower level managers to ensure continuous improvement initiatives are implemented effectively, that the right people are recruited for internal teams, that they have the right tools and support, that there is a credible process for selecting and prioritising projects, that there are systems to budget, plan and manage those projects and that all of this is intelligently communicated.

  

  

OUR DIFFERENCE

We Do Things Better
Than Others

• We Deliver Real Lasting Outcomes

  _

  Why bother if you do not receive lasting results? It is imperative that our activities are tied to clear results orientated milestones. 'Sustainable results' often means very different things to different clients although whatever they may be they are tied into the change management program and reviewed through the whole process.

• Simplicity & Practicality Ensures Everyone Understands

  _

  We do not take pride in using the biggest buzz words we can find, generating the most complicated program to demonstrate our intellectual horsepower or seeing how long we can make a report. Complexity does not equal results, actually quite the contrary.
  
  The most powerful change programs are the ones that are clear, concise, easily understood and linked to real outcomes. The 'keep it simple' approach is central to our change management philosophy.

• We Co-Create With Our Clients So The Knowledge Remains

  _

  We work alongside our clients to co-create throughout all of the change management steps. Also all solutions are developed with our clients so they are left better equipped to deal with similar situations in the future. Our change managers are all equipped to coach and teach while the transformation takes place.

• We Take Pride In Doing Things Differently

  _

  We do things better: There are so many new tools and approaches available today that allow us to be more effective for our clients. We steer away from 'traditional' change management methodologies because today's business environment is no longer 'traditional'.
  
  Our project management systems, information gathering approaches, co-creation techniques, and KPI systems are cutting edge, deliver more transparency and better results for our clients. Utilisation of technology also allows us to be more cost effective for our clients.
