Sustainability Tools to build Change Agility Capabilities:
Pharmaceutical companies continue to redefine their strategic direction to achieve desired results and win in the evolving healthcare marketplace. Organizations experience change fatigue, resist restructuring, and often fail to execute large-scale change effectively. One of the primary reasons for change failure is leaders are not equipped to guide others through transition.
WLH’s proven change execution framework called, the 5C’s of Transition Leadership™ equips leaders to lead through change and builds change execution capabilities.
Examples of learning solutions used as part of the blended curriculum are shown to the left and include:
We partner to customize all learning assets to equip your leaders with the capabilities to drive large –scale change. We build internal change execution capabilities by certifying internal employees to deliver The 5C’s of Transition Leadership programs and provide strategic counsel internally.
Organizations undergoing large-scale change typically end up with new leadership, new teams, and new challenges. When teams are re-configured, leaders need to align the team on business priorities, short-term goals, and operating agreements, as well as building commitment to the organization’s purpose, mission, and values.
Forward thinking organizations utilize a proven method – Team Jump Start — to ready their leaders during change and provide them with the tools to effectively lead their teams.

As organizations and teams are comprised of individuals, it is important that an overarching philosophy and commitment to developing individual change agility exists. Senior leadership and learning organizations must be committed to working together to embed practices that equip individuals with appropriate skills. These skills will ensure employees at all levels of the organization can respond and adapt positively to change.
