LaMarsh & Associates ("L&A") is a global consulting firm specializing in strategic and tactical change management solutions and learning services. For nearly 30 years our innovative approach has helped a broad range of clients-from large multi-nationals to small startups-with their change management needs. Our approach, called Managed ChangeTM , is a data-driven process that produces a roadmap for project teams, internal change agents and sponsors to follow as they navigate through simple projects or complex initiatives. Its open architecture allows Managed ChangeTM to enhance and support other change management methodologies as well as to align and integrate with ongoing project management and Six Sigma disciplines. Fundamentally, the Managed ChangeTM Model reduces the financial and operational risks associated with change in any organization. Productivity can be increased and expenses can be reduced by simply focusing on a critical area that often is ignored by even the most strategic executives: organizational or individual resistance to change. In working with clients, our goals are simple. We want to help executives, management and key change agents: Become aware of the dynamics, risks and challenges posed by organizational and individual resistance to a change of any kind; Accurately identify the people who will have to change and the potential reasons they might resist; Mitigate and quickly eliminate individual and organizational resistance to change; Accelerate organizational acceptance of new behaviors required by change; Generate appropriate plans for sustaining the change once the implementation/conversion has been completed; and Become knowledgeable in and practitioners of the Managed ChangeTM Model. The net result of these goals will be clients who are armed with the critical tools to manage and own the current implementation/conversion, as well as future change projects.
