Implementation and change delivery: Change planning and readiness preparation


User engagement

"Navigate change with confidence, planning and preparing your team for successful transitions, and ensuring that the organisational prerequisites for project success are in place before you set off on the change journey."

It can be quite daunting embarking on a new technology project. Many organisations hold memories of projects that didn’t deliver the expected benefits, or which seemingly never ended, went over budget, or resulted in staff fatigue. On top of that all, you may well be dealing with your regular day-to-day workload at the same time.

This is where added expertise is vital – to help ensure that you have resources, the plans, and the required processes and controls to ensure a good outcome.

Why Adapta

Adapta’s team of experienced, senior consultants have been there and done it many times before – with knowledge of the pitfalls and missteps that often befall these projects. We can help you embrace innovation and change whilst also managing risk, ensuring that you start your technology change project on the right foot.

Chief Executive, Trussell Trust

“To achieve the level of change we saw in 6 months without the support of Adapta would have been impossible. Shortly after completing the project the pandemic hit. Without the work completed by Adapta, our organisation would not have been able to weather the pandemic and keep working.”

"Adapta's knowledge of the market was invaluable in helping us cut down the number of suppliers we needed to approach. They came on-site for workshops and helped engage our system users to the point where they all came away excited for change. Working collaboratively with Adapta worked really well. Adapta were really professional and positive to work with, and we felt very supported throughout the process."
