Leading Change

Epiphancy approaches change efforts by first determining the impetus of the change. What is causing or driving the change? Is it external to the organization, such as rising fuel costs, or internal, such as the hiring of a new CEO? Epiphancy uses this information to develop solutions that help individuals, groups, or entire organizations lead change efforts. Epiphancy is ready to help you lead your change effort, not be managed by it.

Individual Level

People are different, which means we all respond to change differently. What one person may enjoy, another may despise. Understanding differences in others begins by understanding yourself. How do you learn? How do you work? How do you socialize? How do you collect and process information? How do you treat others? How do you like to be treated? Learning these and many other behavioral traits can increase self-awareness, which in turn, can help you better understand and interact with others.

Epiphancy builds capacity in people by assessing individual traits in areas such as personality, learning style, competencies, personal power, leadership, and teamwork. Through these assessments, Epiphancy helps individuals create personal development plans that identify goals, objectives, resources, and timelines associated with their strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. Epiphancy works on a one-on-one basis or conducts workshops to meet group or organizational needs. Visit workshops for more information.

Group and Team Level

Have you ever been a member of a highly successful team? What made it different from a low performing team? Why was the team so successful? What held it together? What was your role? Imagine how your organization would operate if you could establish and sustain high performing teams such as the one you were on previously!

Epiphancy helps identify unit dynamics and works from there to build its capacity. Initial observations might include determining:

• the unit’s make-up--is it a group or a team?
• how members differ from one another (e.g. personality, gender, age, race, ethnicity, culture)
• the purpose of the unit (e.g. board, committee, project team)
• processes and skills in place (e.g. workflow, policies, procedures, competencies)
• leadership style of the team or group

Epiphancy considers these and many more factors when working with clients to build high performance teams. The overall objective is to create a team whose goals, objectives, and strategies align with the organization’s shared vision and produce high-quality results. If you would like to transform a dysfunctional team into a high-performance team, contact Epiphancy.

Organization Level

Epiphancy works in a variety of capacities with organizations. Using collaborative techniques, Epiphancy guides organizations through designing, communicating, implementing, and evaluating change initiatives. As the change journey progresses, the organization’s capacity to lead and manage change increases while Epiphancy’s role decreases until it is no longer needed.

Change often requires leading and managing new initiatives in addition to doing business as normal. Most of all, however, change requires action—ideas, strategies, and plans alone do not produce change. Failing to act, act consistently, and act thoroughly, is where most organizations fall short in their change efforts. If you want actionable results instead of plans that sit on a shelf, contact Epiphancy today.

Community Level

Epiphancy brings people together to solve complex issues affecting their communities. Working with community members, steering groups, and planning teams, Epiphancy helps design the right kind of event that guides the community to its vision. Additionally, Epiphancy assists with recruitment--an extremely important process in the success of community engagements. Understanding who is affected by change and having them participate in the process, maximizes the perspectives of an issue and creates efficiencies in developing and implementing correct solutions. Once members have been recruited, Epiphancy facilitates one or more large-scale events, helping the community reach common ground and develop actionable results.
