People and Change
People & Change
The constantly changing environment of today’s workplace creates new and complex challenges for organizations. At Q2 Strategies, we believe engaged and committed employees must be the core of every successful company.
We understand companies are struggling to manage the people-related impacts of the large-scale technology and operational changes required to keep companies productive, competitive and growing. That is why we have a People and Change practice dedicated to partnering with our clients to approach these ongoing challenges head-on, and to develop and implement proactive programs in five key areas:
Change Management
Adapting to change is essential for companies as they undertake large-scale technology and operational changes designed to provide operational efficiencies, performance improvement and competitive advantage in highly competitive industries. Q2 provides a unique, integrated approach that helps guide organizations and individuals through any transition. To enable and sustain positive change, we start by assessing organizations’ readiness and risk, which enables us to develop customized, detailed change strategies for our clients. These strategies may include communication plans, stakeholder engagement activities, feedback mechanisms, and change impact assessments.

Organization Strategy
It doesn’t matter if a company is new and still in ‘stand up’ mode, if it is transforming and building new capabilities, or if it is a mature company that needs to make critical improvements in performance, Q2 Strategies has the knowledge and experience to help.
Regardless of which stage a company is in, or the industry in which it does business, a company must get the right people in the right roles, doing the right work, for the right cost, if they want to be competitive. Otherwise, these companies will take on unnecessary financial, operational or regulatory risk and will lose key talent, further undermining the organization’s ability to achieve its strategic goals. Q2 has an extensive track record of partnering with clients to develop and implement key organizational initiatives and large-scale transformations that prepare for growth, drive performance improvement, and increase operational efficiency.
