What exactly is change management consulting?

Change management consulting helps companies successfully integrate changes—such as new software, processes, or structures—into their day-to-day operations. This includes analysis, communication, training, and the long-term adoption of the new changes, not just their technical implementation.

What methods do you use in change management?

In change management, we rely on a combination of proven methods that complement one another depending on the project phase and objectives. At the start of a project, we often conduct a Change Impact Assessment to systematically map out the effects of the planned change on processes, systems, and employees. In addition, we use a Change Readiness Assessment to evaluate the organization’s readiness for change and identify potential obstacles early on. To provide individualized support to those affected, we use the ADKAR baseline analysis, which measures the current status in terms of Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement, thereby enabling targeted measures. To identify driving and inhibiting forces in the change process, we apply the force field analysis. Depending on the project’s needs, we also employ additional approaches such as Kotter’s 8-step model, stakeholder analyses, communication plans, or RACI matrices. By combining these methods, we ensure that changes are not only planned in a structured manner but also sustainably embedded within the organization.

Do you offer change management as a standalone service?

No, change management processes are a fundamental part of every ERP project we undertake; however, we do not offer our consulting services as a standalone service.

How does your approach differ from traditional organizational consulting?

We come from a background in ERP and digital transformation, not purely from organizational development. That’s why our change management is integrated with the technical project from the very beginning. Our goal is to introduce employees directly to the new solution and ensure they find it makes their day-to-day work easier.

How long does a change process take?

That depends on the scope of the change. When implementing an ERP system, we typically support you throughout the entire project duration—which ranges from 4 to 6 months—and beyond, until the new processes are firmly established in your day-to-day operations.

Is it possible to provide change management support remotely?

Yes, many formats—from communication strategies to training sessions—can be conducted remotely. However, for workshops with executives or key users, we generally recommend in-person meetings on site, depending on the situation.

Change Management: The Difference Between a Rollout and Real Progress

Change management involves systematically resolving bottlenecks, mitigating resistance, and communicating proactively to guide complex transformations. This approach can be seamlessly applied to ERP or digitalization projects: Their success depends on more than just the technology. What matters far more is how well your team embraces the new processes. If the change is actively supported from the very beginning, a software rollout becomes a genuine step forward with tangible benefits for employees and management.

Greater acceptance from the start, because your team is involved from the very beginning
Faster, smoother implementation thanks to clear communication and early involvement
Sustainable results: new processes are permanently established

Change management has been part of what we do from the very beginning

Change management is often viewed as an optional component in transformation projects. Our approach is different: At Haufe, change management issues are addressed throughout every single phase of a Haufe X60 implementation—from the initial analysis through implementation to ongoing operations. This ensures that a technical go-live also translates into genuine organizational success.

"No ERP implementation is complete with the go-live. It ends with the achievement of the set goals."

— Marian Matthies Hofmann, Managing Director, BOLD & EPIC Transform GmbH

What We Can Do for You

⁺

Analysis of Processes and Change Needs

At the start of every project, we take into account not only your systems and processes, but also your organization’s willingness to change: Where is resistance likely to arise, which teams are particularly affected, and which communication channels actually work for you?

⁺

Communication Strategies for Employees and Managers

We work with you to determine how, when, and by whom the change will be communicated—tailored to each phase of the project.

⁺

Onboarding and Training of Key Users

Those who are given the opportunity to help shape change identify with it. We involve your key personnel early on and empower them to embed the new system and processes within the team.

⁺

Coaching for Executives

Leaders are the driving force behind every transformation; we help them confidently navigate questions, uncertainty, and resistance.

⁺

Sustainable Implementation After Go-Live

Even after the technical phase is complete, we’ll continue to work closely with you to ensure that the new processes are actually implemented and that the goals we’ve set are achieved.
