Change Management
Nothing is certain but death and taxes? We propose an addition to this well-known
saying: CHANGE. Change is the ever-present force which confronts organizations
and individuals, and either halts them in their place or propels them forward,
depending on the method used to manage it.
Often, the immediate reaction to change is to resist it at all costs; frequently, it is
perceived as a negative force. At the Village Circle Company, we focus on
harnessing the energy that change brings and using it to bring an organization
dramatically closer to previously unattainable goals.

"The team from Village Circle is
a welcome departure from what
we’ve endured so many times
before. They keep participants
on track and engaged. They
create a forum for real
organizational and team change."
- Matt McKelvey, The McKelvey
Group
Case Study: A highly regarded financial planning company was struggling with growing pains and called on the Village Circle Company for help in managing the changes they were experiencing. The VCC team developed a highly impactful, two day offsite session designed to reengineer the company’s organizational and process structure. The session included:
- Clear communication of vision from leadership
- Instruction on how effective organizations align strategy, performance measurement, and organizational design
- Exercises created to solicit input from all personnel, and create buy-in to the results
- An opportunity for participants to capture the key points of their offsite in a one-of-a-kind, original song
The results: In the months since the offsite, there have been three follow-up sessions to further develop the outcomes of the offsite session. The leadership and personnel of the company remain energized and motivated to implement the business-changing concepts THEY developed during their time with the VCC team. Those changes have led to more effective and efficient internal processes, which in turn have led to even greater customer satisfaction.

We think of change being like a combination lock; in order to open it, express
its potential and secure the desired object within, one has to put in the right
combination of numbers, in the right order! The Village Circle Company uses a
unique and specific combination of techniques to implement effective Change
Management.
Along the way, we get all
critical personnel involved
and they become bold
champions of change! In
this way, we maximize
employee “buy-in” throughout
the process of change,
and set the stage for
continuous, highly effective
change management.
