Springboard helps you build momentum
We become well-versed in the goals and needs of your team through discussions, short interviews, and data analysis. Then, we design highly personalized hands-on working sessions to get everyone aligned and energized. And finally, we leave you with recommendations to set the desired change in motion – while mitigating the anticipated risks.
We’ll equip you with:
Your Change Story – articulating the ‘why and where’ of the transition
We gain a deep understanding of where each leader is in the change process and what is getting in the way of success—this is done through 1 on 1 interviews
We facilitate the leaders through collaborative, hands-on sessions to understand the problem to solve and describe the desired future state
Once we are done with our work, you will have your tangible change story and, even more importantly, the intangible alignment and commitment of your team
You can be confident that the design and decisions will be made with this future state in mind
Your team will work as one with you—knowing what is in your head and making choices in support of your goals
You and your team will engage the hearts and minds of the organization with personal stories all aligned with the change story
You will be confident that your team is truly committed—they are on the bus with you—and that they are with you on the journey
Success metrics – truly measurable outcomes to reach your desired future state
We will co-create a clear set of indicators and outcomes to achieve throughout the journey
You will have a set of defined milestones to show progress, keep things on track, and celebrate wins
You and your team will have conversations at the right level—discussing risks to achieving milestones and actions needed to get things back on track
We will facilitate check points along the way for your team to recommit and adjust as needed
You will use these discussions to assess your team and determine any actions needed to keep them working together
Risk and recommendation report—a course of action to move you forward
We provide you with our assessment of current and anticipated risks based on what we have observed to date
We tell you what is really going on—direct, empathetic, honest
We provide recommendations to mitigate risks along with recommendations to move the changes forward
We focus our recommendations on building the infrastructure to execute changes, engaging the organization, ensuring that leaders are leading the changes, and making sure you are regularly assessing and mitigating risks
We will also offer resources from our network of partnerships to support you if this is required
Project health checks – to assess risks and course correct when needed
For one year following our initial work, we will come back quarterly to assess how you are doing on your journey
We will discuss your observations and concerns, conduct a series of interviews, listen in on your leadership meeting(s), and collect information related to the project or change
We will provide you with a confidential assessment and recommendations to improve your odds of success
At the end of the year, we will discuss opportunities to continue to support you—coaching you and/or your team, providing additional resources, or moving on to support the next change initiative.
You will have a partner and objective advisor throughout the initiative—we are here to support you on the journey
Springboard isn’t just there for takeoff.
As an advocate for both you and your team, we’ll be your co-pilots throughout the process of bringing your vision of success to life. Together, we can ensure everyone is working to achieve the same goal.
