Change Management
“Nothing is certain except death and taxes” – This famous quote associated with Benjamin Franklin in 1789.
Over two centuries later, the words of one of the founding fathers of the United States still ring true. As a recognized inventor, Franklin should have also considered change alongside death and taxes!
No matter how big your business is, change comes as a natural product of wanting to be successful.
There are many different ways to measure success. Some measure in the form of financial success, some in terms of growth, whether that be in the number of staff, the number of locations served or simply growing your portfolio of products or services.
Change is only effective if it is managed. Unmanaged change leads to a level of chaos that will take a life of its own.
Businesses seeking to change have a number of levers – people, process and technology and these levers are often irrevocably intertwined. Changes to one often lead to changes to the other two levers.
Fernleaf Consulting can work alongside your organization to help understand, plan, manage, implement and communicate change.

We firmly believe that data and technology should enable, not hinder or worse still, cripple your business or cost you an unnecessary fortune to purchase and maintain. We specialize in partnering with our customers that need independent, cost-effective advice on how to best leverage IT solutions to suit their business without imposing unnecessary overhead.
Many business owners are forced to spend too much time trying to understand or stay on top of technology and this takes you away from what is important – building your business. Fernleaf Consulting provides a trusted advisory service that works alongside all areas of the business to ensure you are getting the best return from the use of technology.
“Change is inevitable; Change is Constant“ – Benjamin Disraeli
We don’t just focus on the technology bit. As Business Technologists, we are facilitators of change across the board, working with all people who are involved or impacted no matter how big or small the changes are.
We can assess, recommend, and implement process changes – whether they be improvements to a manual process, or the improvement and automaton of an existing process.
We have worked with organizations to address change at an organizational level, assessing capability and responsibility to ensure appropriate fit and application. Often, small businesses have the right people – they are just focused on the wrong things. We can work to improve the effectiveness of staff and how they can delivery optimal outcomes to the business.
The team at Fernleaf Consulting have also had years of experience in the delivery of technology-based change, projects and systems. The biggest mistake businesses make is that projects are deemed complete when they are delivered. The technology vendor drops the finished product on the doorstep and rubs their hands together. This is not the end of change – it is only the beginning of a new phase.
Fernleaf Consulting can work with your organisation to set the ongoing culture around change. We can work to empower everyone to be comfortable asking for change, provide regular training whether it be refresher or new feature training and foster a culture where change is embraced, accepted and promoted.
