Custom Change Management to Meet Your Goals

Our change management and leadership services are specifically designed for higher education settings. Whether your institution is adapting to new leadership, implementing new technology within a department or campus-wide, expanding the use of an existing system to other areas of your institution, or needing to address adoption issues and new ways of working, Tambellini’s flexible offerings can be tailored to your needs.

Our tiered service offerings provide support for institutions with different needs, whether you want access to resources to manage change internally with minimal Tambellini advisement or need more hands-on, comprehensive support from start to finish.

To support a successful transformation, our experts will assess your institution’s:  

  • Transformation goals to understand the degree of change and the need for change management activities 
  • Current change management efforts and practices and identify gaps and opportunities  
  • Desired outcomes to ensure the right activities occur at the right time to support adoption across your institution 

Get an overview of your institution’s current state and a change management roadmap to successfully get to its desired outcomes.  

You will receive a custom change management report that outlines:  

  • How your institution can prepare its people, processes, and technology to support your institution’s transformation and adoption efforts   
  • The necessary communications to keep stakeholders informed throughout the transformation journey 
  • Training opportunities that can empower your teams to adopt new ways of working  

Connect with team members in an interactive workshop customized to your institution’s needs.  

Depending on the focus of the workshop, participants will come away with: 

  • An understanding of various approaches and methodologies for addressing change 
  • Alignment within the project team on ultimate outcomes and goals, and critical areas to address  
  • Recommendations for institutional and/or project-level change management to support ongoing modernization and transformation  
  • A common leadership approach to addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with change  

Gain change management support from our analysts and advisors throughout your institution’s modernization and transformation projects. 

Our Tambellini experts can advise institutional executives and leaders on: 

  • The considerations and next steps required to support a successful project, from deployment to post-launch 
  • Which change management activities can help course-correct challenges 
  • How to best partner with change management vendors 
  • Maintaining a successful change management program for your institution
