What Our Clients Say
What Is Change Management?
Change management is any processes or projects done by individuals or a team within an organization to enact change within that organization. This can be done for almost any reason, including:
- The need to update technology within the organization
- The need to improve culture, attitude, or retention within the organization
- An initiative to improve diversity & inclusion
- An organizational change after a merge or acquisition
- An immediate need to increase profit, hire new employees, or downsize to avoid closure
- New direction within an organization because of new management or a change in external drivers
Why Is Change Management Important?
Change Management isn’t always important. If you are making small incremental process improvements, it’s not critical. However, when you are dealing with a complex change, change management is essential.
This is especially true of organization-wide, transformational, enterprise systems, and personnel changes, because success depends on people at all levels taking ownership of their new roles and changing their behavior in a way that considers and leverages others.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can’t. You need a good assessment. The difference is a B STATE approach accomplishes this in days or weeks, not months. With B STATE, we formulate the picture based on the external business drivers that must be addressed. Then our gap analysis considers the best path and initial targets to get immediate progress and refine our approach before launching into the next phase.
Here are some real quotes from leaders of organization that thought the same thing.
“My staff was burned-out and overwhelmed, but by using the B STATE approach, we not only accomplished our goals, but we saved 4 hours per person per week in meeting time. For 150-person function, that was the equivalent of getting 15 extra bodies a year for free.” – Defense contractor IT group – EVP. “By going through a structured approach to our planning, we were able to overcome challenges and open our Hospital Cath Lab one year early, which gives us a year’s worth of additional revenue and the ability to serve the needs of our community. – Rural Health System CEO
The initial two-days putting together the picture of success, new habits of execution, the B STATE roadmap, and initial priorities, cut three months of time off the construction of our first indoor theme park. Theme Park VP
Yes, we do. If you agree the roadmap is practical and do your part, 97% of the companies we work with more than attain their goals. That’s how, after 35 years, we can make that guarantee with confidence. In the few case that companies don’t, we are on board to make the adjustments with you to get there.
