Most people hate change, but change as we all know is necessary especially if you are trying to improve the bottom line and create a high performance culture.

The key to effective change is to remember you are dealing with people who are all individuals with their own needs and views. Everyone has different needs - the reason they come to work – the reasons they tackle problems in different ways – what they want out of their work – what turns them on – what makes them feel wanted. These and other aspects of their own behavioural style is behind the reasons that one person thinks a change is good and another thinks it’s bad.

The Lifo® method Change Survey helps you understand what makes people react as they do. Once you have understood how they tick you can be prepared to answer their questions, respond to their needs and in the end achieve happy and successful change.

the Lifo® method Change looks at individuals’ preferred styles of behavior, not just when things are stable but at times of stress – often change is, as we all know, a great time of stress.

So how will Simon or Claire fit into their new role? What could Mark do that he’s not doing now? How will Brian be as a manager? Why did level headed Denise react so badly to such a simple change? How together will the team work in its new structure? The answers to these and many more questions can be found through the Lifo® method Change programmes
