CHANGE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

You are going to be undertaking your research for a reason, usually with a view for driving improvement or performance. Most research agencies will focus on ensuring that the research process is statistically robust and achieves the research objectives. In this respect Curiosity is no different, quality research is critically important, but we don’t believe that by itself it is good enough. We think research is just one component of a wider process.

The Curiosity Process
Stage 1 - Mobilise the organisation
Once we understand the business context and research objectives, we’ll work with you to identify the key stakeholders for solving the problem. For example, who needs to be on board with this? Where are they currently, do they think this is a good idea?
We’ll then look to see whether the organisation has the capability and capacity to actually make the changes. If it doesn’t then we need to question whether now is the right time to be undertaking the research.

Stage 2 - Undertake the research
We challenge you on what are the things that you really need to know, not just the things you’d like to do. If you can’t do anything with the information then we’d challenge you to say it is not worth having.

Stage 3 - Move the organisation
We’d like to workshop the findings with you and all your key stakeholders, not just present them. We believe in what we call results emersion – we run workshops with you to really pull apart the insight, brainstorm possibilities and agree there an then actionable output that can really make a difference to your organisation. The longer you go without agreeing actions the less likely you are to achieve any.
