Don't get left behind: The power of a COE (Center of Excellence)

I talked about leveling up and building a Change Center of Excellence. You might be thinking, "What's the big deal?" Well, buckle up, because not having a COE can lead to a world of missed opportunities and frustrations you definitely want to avoid.

Having a Change COE ensures that :

1. You have a baseline understanding of all changes across the enterprise. This ensures planning and coordination of change efforts are consistent, and not duplicative.

2. You are not wasting your stakeholders time. Too often, stakeholders are pulled in different directions for competing initiatives and/or are engaged by different change teams causing confusion.

3. Your change experiences are cohesive and consistent. In the sea of initiatives and programs, a COE will have a clear understanding of dependencies, ensuring that workforce change fatigue is accounted for.
   

Building a COE isn't just about avoiding the pitfalls—it's about unlocking the full potential of your organization. With a dedicated team at the helm, you'll navigate change with confidence and allow for the process to take a measured and predictable approach.

Embrace the power of a Change Center of Excellence and watch your organization soar to new heights. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
