Even when organizational change makes good business sense, the natural human reaction will still be resistance.

Organizations don’t change, people do. Meaning change only happens inside an organization when people want to change. And they usually don’t want to – which is why change fails. In fact, resistance to change is actually a human survival instinct, and traditional leadership techniques are often not effective in impacting the biases, motivations, and emotions that can influence transformation success. That’s where Daggerwing can help.

We take a human-centered approach to every type of organizational change

We bring business expertise and psychology together to help employees connect personally to the change vision – so they understand what’s changing and why, believe in the benefits, and start to live the change. We apply this expertise to these types of organizational transformation engagements:

Mergers, Acquisitions and Spin-offs

Research shows most mergers fail to deliver promised shareholder value. Why? Failure to focus on the people who make or break a successful M&A – employees. Daggerwing helps leaders identify risks and focus on ways to drive inspiration, cultural alignment, and new behaviors.

CX, Marketing, and Digital Transformation

As CEOs mandate that leaders put customers at the center of the business and keep pace with technology change, the complexity can be paralyzing. Daggerwing helps clients narrow in on what needs to change across structure, processes, capabilities, talent, and culture to enable meaningful and measurable transformation outcomes.

Organizational, Operating Model and Process Change

Leaders launch major transformations that have a tremendous impact on what an employee does, who she/he/they spend time with, and what leadership they are offered. Daggerwing helps clients close the gaps between the business need and the human reactions. Yes, people can adapt to change, but there are ways to make it easier and faster.
