Culture & Change Management

Our unique process drives viral change at the organizational level.

Just as an internet meme, a new dance move, buzz word or a flu epidemic spreads into the broader population, viral change in organizations occurs via connections and the power of influence. Mandatory, top-down change initiatives that require all managers or individual contributors to obey may create compliance in the short term, but it doesn’t lend itself to self-adoption and sustainable change.

In short, our approach entails identifying and working with the willing—creating change through invitation rather than by decree. By inviting early adopters who are highly connected to become change champions and supporting them to understand, experiment and test the changes, you can spread a change quickly—through the power of influence and network connections. The number of people interacting will create a critical mass above a threshold that makes the desired changes real and visible. This tipping point, when a critical number of people have adopted something, creates a transition that results in a new normal.

Why Avid Learner Change Management?

We know how to spread the change fast. And the cohort process we use is designed to help the most influential and enthusiastically engaged people in your organization—rather than outside consultants or senior management—drive the change. And that makes the entire change initiative very affordable.

Our Method

  • Step 1: Assess – Gain a Clear View of Your Organization

    Every successful transformation begins with a deep understanding of the present. Our Assess step is designed to give you a comprehensive picture of your organization's current culture, operational realities, and readiness for change. We go beyond surface-level observations to uncover the core dynamics at play.

    Through a mix of proven diagnostic tools, stakeholder interviews, and data analysis, we gather critical insights. This process helps us identify hidden strengths, pinpoint specific challenges, and understand the perspectives of your people. The result is a clear, evidence-based foundation that informs a targeted and effective change strategy, ensuring our efforts are focused where they will have the greatest impact.

  • Step 2: Align – Creat a Unified Path Forward

    With a clear understanding of your organization, the next step is to build unity and direction. Our Align phase is where we bring leaders and teams together to forge a shared vision for the future. Lasting change is impossible when people are moving in different directions, so we focus on creating powerful consensus.

    This collaborative process involves facilitating strategic workshops and communication sessions to ensure every leader is a committed champion of the transformation. We work with you to co-create a compelling change narrative and a clear roadmap that everyone can understand and support. By aligning goals, expectations, and messaging from the top down, we establish the collective ownership and momentum needed to drive the change forward successfully.

  • Step 3: Activate – Turn Strategy into Sustainable Action

    This is where the transformation comes to life. The Activate phase is all about turning your carefully crafted strategy into tangible action and lasting results. A plan is only as good as its execution, so we focus on empowering your teams, building new capabilities, and embedding change into your daily operations.

    We work alongside your people to implement new processes, behaviors, and systems. This involves targeted training, coaching, and creating clear accountability structures to maintain momentum. We help you establish feedback loops and measurement systems to track progress, celebrate wins, and make adjustments along the way. By empowering your organization to own the change, we ensure the transformation is not just a temporary project, but a new, sustainable way of working.
