Overview
Enable and Sustain Transformation, Innovation & ROI
DMI’s TRANSCEND OCM model empowers employees to understand, own, and sustain organizational change. Leveraging iterative stakeholder collaboration and feedback, DMI aligns OCM solutions with your strategic goals; stakeholder insights and impacts; and iterative, human-centric enablement and adoption approaches. Core TRANSCEND elements include building trust and change readiness, fostering a culture of change, empowering employee change agents, and building sustainment mechanisms.
TRANSCEND integrates proven methodologies to catalyze holistic stakeholder understanding, ownership, and internalization of change by involving them as change advisors and architects, collaborating on OCM solutions that translate their insights into action. Our OCM approach ensures your most valuable asset, your employees, understand the change and its benefits, build the “muscle memory” needed to innovate, experience less disruption during change, and remain focused on realizing your strategic goals and return on investment.

Readiness Acumen

Effective OCM makes good on organizational assertions that “our people are our greatest asset.” Employee-enabled OCM empowers them to own and drive transformation and the benefits.
Discipline
Successful OCM depends on the level of organizational investment. Throughout the change, discipline is required to ensure everyone maintains focus on the goals and the value.
