Organizational Performance Improvement
Companies typically implement “change” for the purpose of driving
improvements in organizational performance.
• Objectives typically include:
• Cheaper – Lower cost
• Better – Higher quality
• Faster – Less time
• Customer Satisfaction – Happier customers
• Quality of Work Life – Happier employees
The only way to accomplish these goals is to change the way people work.
• This means changing your business processes:
o What is done
o How it is done
o Who does it
o When it is done
• This always creates organizational disruption.

How Akili Defines OCM
OCM is…
• A conscious, deliberate, and collaborative effort to…
o proactively help people (individuals, groups, and departments)
understand and choose to embrace, as quickly as possible, the…
− organizational,
− procedural, and
− technical
o changes that will be introduced with the implementation of any change
solution;
o and to accomplish that objective with the least possible degree of
disruption to business operations.
Why? Because disruption is expensive.

The Iron Triangle of Success
Akili focuses on business needs as much as technical needs. Our projects are not
deemed complete or successful until the stated technical and human objectives
have been met.
Akili’s logo reflects our
commitment to the delivery
of balanced solutions.
