Business Transformation

Business Transformation is the process that involves the entire management of change in the offer, operations, systems, processes, technology, organisation and culture at a company or business unit, to achieve sustainable improvements in performance and the satisfaction of its stakeholders.

Transformational challenges

What generates transformational challenges? Where do companies and businesses find motivation and what is their attitude to their performance vs expectations?

ASPIRATION
+
When a stakeholder/stakeholders or the CEO aspire to transform the company/business into something quite different (breakthrough).
ANTECIPATION
+
When a stakeholder/stakeholders or the CEO anticipate internal or external changes that threaten the current business model.
ALTERATION
+
When an internal or an external event has a fundamental effect on the current business model.
DESPERATION
+
When the company/business performance reaches the level at which the only solution is to desperately undertake a radical transformation.

Regardless of the origin of the TRANSFORMATIONAL CHALLENGE, it is essential for the transformation to be made through an appropriate PROCESS.

Process for supporting transformational challenges

Using John Philip Kotter’s eight-step PROCESS (eight steps for successful major business transformation – Leading Change), Business Setting has created multidisciplinary programmes for supporting business leaders in managing the transformational challenges of their companies/businesses.
