How we support you in driving change
The ADKAR Change model template
In today’s business world, change is a given. Agile businesses that can adapt to changing circumstances and continuously improve their processes gain an edge over their competition. But deciding what needs to change and how it should change is just the beginning. One of the hardest parts of change management is the people element. The ADKAR Model offers a way to guide your team through a change process.
What’s the ADKAR Model
Leading people through change can be frustrating and complex. Even when faced with a compelling case to do things a better way, people can often push back against the change, or quietly slip back into their old way of working as soon as the change leaders relax their vigilance, or momentum drops.
The ADKAR model provides a 5-step framework that helps in dealing with the people-aspect of change management. The methodology was developed by Jeffery Hiatt, a best-selling author and the founder of Prosci.
This is a five-stage change management model that helps guide organisations and individuals toward successful change. The letters stand for:
A: Awareness of the need for change
D: Desire to support the change
K: Knowledge of how to change
A: Ability to adopt new skills and behaviours
R: Reinforcement to retain the change over time

MYOB provides greater efficiency to aid dramatic rise of unique brewery
In 2014, Tuatara Brewery was at a tipping point in its growth trajectory. Their management team grew to include marketing, sales, packaging, brewing and distribution specialists. A new Operations Manager, Hamish Allen joined and wanted to bring in changes to aid the organisations performance.
More visibility has resulted in increased confidence.
Signature Marketing supply Service Stations throughout New Zealand and Australia, with sunglasses, headwear and a range of quality mobile phone accessories. Getting a handle on stock control, and having an overview of their numbers was an important part of their choice to move to MYOB EXO.
Automatic Systems Revolutionised
HOED Research NZ has a unique business model with many moving parts. While they originally just wanted some help integrating the accounting side of MYOB EXO into their business, they were quickly sold on the benefits of automating their systems and processes.
