Creating a Movement of Collaborative Leadership to Power the Energy Industry of the Future
In an industry where process and predictability are crucial for success, how can energy and utility companies meet the growing expectation to transform their business while safely keeping the lights on and the world moving? At Kotter, we recognize that these complex challenges can only be met by engaging the broad employee base through human-centric change.
Our Unique Approach
Meeting people where they are
Mitigating anxiety created by the perceived loss (control, power, job security, etc.) in times of change is critical to enabling employees to engage with and embrace the change. Kotter helps you execute strategy rapidly by facilitating greater engagement through both top-down and peer-to-peer communication and dialogue.
Creating a consortium of change partners
Driving collaboration between implementation partners, PMOs, line managers, and employees to get the work done in new ways, Kotter helps foster connection, perspective, and understanding to enable greater collaboration.
Increasing transparency and trust
Leveraging leader-facilitated forums for feedback, concerns, and questions will increase intellectual and emotional buy-in for the change while enabling more leadership from more people in all functions and at all levels.
Celebrating wins to build momentum
Kotter supports clients in building a robust strategy for identifying tangible wins that result from new actions and behaviors and promoting their success to a wide audience to reinforce changes and generate momentum.
Telling a compelling story
Facilitating the creation of a compelling story that engages and excites the organization and helps prioritize the most critical steps on the road to the energy future.
