Spencer Thomas Group’s Organizational
Change Management (OCM)
In order to respond to or meet constant industry, marketplace and regulatory changes, organizations need to continually
evolve. Most organizations have learned that any significant change to their processes requires some level of focused
change management for success. Baseline change management activities, like training and communication, are
not sufficient to drive change at the scale and pace required today. In fact, initiatives that require organizational
change often do not achieve sustained success due to a lack of continued support of the new processes or
behavior beyond “go-live.”
At STG, we advise our clients through effective management of alignment, awareness, training and adoption for all
relevant parties and stakeholders involved in the change. Our OCM practice is comprised of seasoned leadership with
executive-level OCM expertise and an experienced team of OCM professionals who have built their careers delivering
change management services that help clients successfully address the key obstacles to change. This broad, in-depth
experience allows us to be focused and efficient in the conduct of our projects and to plan and execute change
management initiatives on any scale with unsurpassed speed and agility. Our innovative, integrated OCM services
yield superior project results at a lower cost point.
STG’s approach to OCM is designed to orchestrate, and make manageable, what would otherwise be a very complex
undertaking. In the change process, we provide a defined structure to engage individuals and groups across the
enterprise. We craft a thorough strategy and plan, then execute with a methodical approach, enabling companies
to manage change with precision and more predicable results.
Our View: Organizational Change Management proactively addresses the “people-
related” risks that must be managed to achieve a successful implementation.
Focus on Issues and Risks
Address the “people” issues to promote a successful
implementation of major organizational, process and
technology programs.
Focus on Implementation and Benefit Realization
Increase the probability of successful program
implementation and accelerate benefit realization by:
- Helping leaders reach agreement and common
understanding that result in acceptance and
unified action
- Preparing and equipping managers and
employees to thrive in the new environment
Focus on Collaborative Processes
Create processes that help people accomplish a
critical change initiative together across traditional
organizational silos.

templates and experienced professionals to drive OCM work streams across all project phases.The STG OCM
framework is based on vast experience of how to effectively manage change to achieve program success

We understand what drives acceptance, adoption and support to new systems and new ways of working,
and we translate that knowledge into OCM deliverables that can be tracked, measured and executed.
We maintain a laser-focus on the “people” dimension of large-scale change for a simple reason: to enable
program success defined in terms of time, budget, and the realization of business benefits.
We also look at OCM from a financial investment return perspective as well as a process view. Our advanced
