Co- managing your change project
Our co-management of your change project improves the quality of the targeted change, the innovativeness of the chosen solutions, the commitment of the team, the change in thinking and culture. The project goals can target product(s) or process(es) innovation, strategic co-operation, new strategy development and implementation, managing diversity, transformation of organisational culture.
In the project we will:
- Work with the team and individuals on bottle necks
  and challenges of the project.
- Trouble shoot and coach team or individuals whenever the "new"
  conflicts with the "old" in a way that it jeopardizes the project.

"To innovate or change an organisation is a lonely and difficult mission. The fact that a co-manager enables you to see the broader picture in the most difficult situations is already worth it."
Graham (Manager internal branding)
   
What are the benefits of Co-management?
Where you focus on the manageable and the obvious, we focus on the unmanageable and the non-obvious. Project process risks will be reduced. Quality and innovativeness of the chosen solutions will increase. The commitment of the team to the project and organisation will be strengthened until after the project.
         
   
What does our work include?
We co-design a project planning, team selection and support structure. We facilitate result oriented worksessions, risk analysis and decision making. We facilitate the team in trouble shooting and creativity, securing change in the team and organisation.
   

   
   
"Co-managers for change see the unseen and bring forward the overlooked. For a team of specialists they bring in the oxygen and catalyze the burning desire to create something special."
Sean (Fredwerk facilitator)
