Our Approach

Discover The Sixsess Consultancy’s Client-Centred Approach to Change Leadership & Change Management 

The Sixsess Consultancy’s methodology is meticulously designed around the unique needs and aspirations of our clients. Our commitment is to walk alongside you on a journey of transformation that is as rewarding as it is robust. Here’s a glimpse into our bespoke approach:

◉ Complimentary Evaluation: Your Journey Begins Here

Embarking on the path to change starts with our complimentary evaluation phase. We invest our time to delve into the heart of your organisation—its ethos, its people, its history, and its aspirations. It’s a phase of mutual exploration: we learn about you, and you learn about us. This stage is crucial in ensuring that our collaboration will be effective and that we’re positioned to drive meaningful, sustainable change together.

During this no-cost phase, you’ll have the opportunity to assess our approach and ensure that The Sixsess Consultancy aligns with your vision and values.

◉ Fixed-Fee Partnership: Value-Driven Engagement

We proceed with a transparent, fixed-fee contract based on the intrinsic value of your change initiative. This means no hourly rates—just a straightforward agreement that reflects the scope and impact of the project. We also manage agreed-upon expenses such as travel in a clear and upfront manner, ensuring there are no surprises along the way.

◉ Clarification: A Foundation for Success

With the groundwork laid, we enter the clarification stage. Here, through incisive questioning, data gathering, and problem-solving, we refine our understanding and validate your organisation’s needs. This step is about achieving crystal-clear alignment before moving forward.

◉ Creation: Crafting Solutions

Collaboration is key as we create customised solutions alongside your teams. By involving your people in the solution design, we ensure that strategies are not only effective but also resonate with those who will implement and work with them.

◉ Execution: Bringing Change to Life

We’re committed to not just planning but also executing the change program. By employing time-tested techniques, we work to drive and accelerate your initiative, maximising the likelihood of a successful outcome.

◉ Confirmation: Measuring Success

From day one, we implement agreed metrics and analyses to monitor and confirm the progress of your change initiative. Our goal is to ensure that the change takes root and becomes a natural part of your organisation’s fabric.

◉ Closure and Continuity: Ensuring Lasting Impact

As our day-to-day involvement winds down, we ensure a structured and smooth transition of knowledge and expertise to your team. Our relationship doesn’t end with the project; we strive to be a lasting partner, ready to support you as new challenges and opportunities arise.
