The People Side of Change
About Our Change Management Solutions
Our Change Management solutions are designed to help organisations successfully implement change, with a strong emphasis on the human aspects of transformation. We understand that the success of any organisational change relies heavily on the engagement, support (Awareness and Desire) and active participation (Knowledge and Ability) of individuals at all levels.
Our people centric approach ensures that transformation efforts are not only accepted but also embraced across the entire organisation. Together with leaders "walking the talk", reinforcing policies, systems and processes (Reinforcement), desired behaviours are anchored resulting in sustained change adoption.

Success Story
We have engaged Vincent and his team recently to focus on how we as senior management could band together to drive new corporate values and culture change in our organisation. Vincent engaged me before and during the workshop to ensure that the outcomes are aligned and met. Through his 1-1 interviews with my management team members, he facilitated frank and “brutal” verbatims that really made us realise the issues on hand... At the end of the workshop, Vincent led us to a consensus and for the very first time, agree on common goals and a workable plan to ensure the embracing of new corporate values on a sustainable basis. I am very glad that Vincent was able to help us achieve this goal and certainly look forward to continue working with him to ensure that we are on the right track.

We would like to specifically mention that the Train-The-Trainer session by aAdvantage for this module was an invigorating and humbling experience. Our internal facilitators were not only trained on basic facilitation skills but were engaged on self-reflection and "self-searching" dialogue to align their personal values to our organisation's core values. It proved to be vital to the success on the paradigm shift of our staff pertaining to customer service. The alignment dialogue had ignited the "fire" of our internal facilitators as they went on to passionately deliver the Excellence Customer Service stories to our staff in record times, and through weekends. We can confidently attest that aAdvantage's added value are not just designing, training and consulting but touching the hearts of our internal trainers and motivating them to do beyond their jobs. We are so glad that we have got the right strategic partner for this key initiative.

Vincent has been professional, approachable and accommodating in his interaction with Thome. He is very quick in grasping the challenges, culture and operations of Thome and thus able to value add to every discussion that contributed to a good outcome. He is very open with his views and he always put across his views gently but firm at times when needed and we would say it was well-received by his audience at every level. He connects well with his audience and enable them to be forthcoming in sharing. Vincent has proven to be a professional and experienced facilitator. aAdvantage has supported Thome well with their professionalism and we will definitely work with them again.
