"Throw it over the Fence" IS NOT a Change Strategy
No matter how big or small a change is, surprising people never goes well. Fortunately, there is help. Canon has an experienced team of experts to help you make change easier for everyone involved.
People Don't Resent Change. They Resent Surprises.
People spurn change when it means "when did that go away?" or "where did that go?", or "why did we do that?" Canon's approach to change approach seeks to avoid surprises by keeping people informed, aware, and prepared, and building in reinforcement for adoption every step of the way.

HOW CANON CAN HELP YOU
From leadership to frontline, we help you to ensure that everyone understands:
- What changes are coming.
- Why we are doing it.
- What we need from stakeholders.
No one likes to show up for work and discover that they can't do their job because something has been moved, changed, deleted, or removed. Our team takes steps to ensure people know what is coming, when, and what they need to do to be ready.
We help you keep track of wins and successes so you can share these out to the organization. Data and success stories help sustain people and let them know that their efforts matter.
We equip leaders at all levels with the right information so they can easily keep their people up-to-speed and answer questions about the basics.
Change often requires giving up the "tried and true" for something that feels new and untested. Canon helps to take the anxiety out of this transition by creating a wide range of ways for end-users to train, prepare, and try out changes before they go live.
EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT CHANGE BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK
"Oops! We Forgot to Include Change in the Plan."
No worries. We will always meet you where you are. Canon specializes in an approach that is fit-for-purpose so that wherever you are in your implementation, we ensure that:
- We build around your objectives.
- We focus on the behaviors needed
"Can't We Just Tell People What to Do?"
Yes, but a smooth, successful transition requires more. Most people want to know the "why", how it will impact them, and what they will need to do differently.
"Isn't Change Basically Communications?"
Communications definitely is a big part of any change effort but there is more to it. You need to work backward from the critical few behaviors needed along the way and build a Change Plan to make sure those behaviors will happen.
"Change is Training People to Use New Equipment, Isn't It?"
It's part of the solution, but it's not the whole picture. People need to understand "why" and what the expectations are for them as part of the effort. Specifically, how their behaviors everyday will impact outcomes.
