B2B Business transformation consulting
"
Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
"
— George Bernard Shaw
Based on My B2B Growth Consulting Auditing for Companies, in collaboration with the company’s management, it is possible to make a strategic decision:
- whether selective changes are sufficient
or
- if it would be more appropriate to focus on a complete strategic transformation of the company or its business unit, or to establish new units or merge companies.
The implementation of changes/transformation often deeply affects the company and the team,
and sometimes even the company's clientele.
Professional and timely sharing of quality information with leadership and key employees, as well as their involvement in the process, significantly reduces risks and motivates employees to contribute to the process.
Changes/transformation often also involve customer service.
It is essential to timely and adequately inform key clients about the extent of the upcoming changes.
After the implementation of changes/transformation, it is also appropriate to inform the clientele.
I assist company management with my consulting service
in successfully navigating the complex journey of change/transformation.
How is my B2B Business transformation consulting structured?
Stages of B2B Business Transformation Consulting
Motivating Involvement of Key Employees for Implementing Business Transformations
- The success of any change or transformation initiated by a top executive depends on the attitudes of employees and clients towards the changes.
- Achieving timely consensus with key employees regarding the planned changes is a critical step for the success of the changes.

Transformation Plan for Leadership and Key Employees

B2B Business transformation planning- and Implementation Consulting
- Change planning and implementation consulting provides significant support to management in overcoming issues related to the implementation of changes, engaging leadership and key employees.
- It accelerates the change implementation process.
- Based on the analysis of audit results, I will compile a proposal for a list of changes that facilitate the company’s growth.
- Together with the company’s management, I will assess whether implementing changes in individual processes/operations is sufficient
- Or if it would be reasonable to undertake a comprehensive transformation of the company starting from strategy.
- Alternatively, we might consider consulting on the implementation of a new entity being created (such as a company unit in an export market, etc.)
- Or on the merger of companies.
- The scope will be roughly determined during the initial consultation on the topic.
- In practice, the scope may increase or decrease depending on the evolving situation during the execution of the work.
- The consulting on the topic will focus on:
- additional analysis of the changes proposed in the audit, risk assessment, limiting or expanding the applicable changes, timing,
- informing teams related to the company’s revenue-generating operations about upcoming changes along with necessary justifications,
- engaging and achieving cooperation among executives and key employees of teams related to the company’s revenue-generating operations,
- facilitating change management to meet the expected timeline,
- implementation consulting in the case of a new entity being created (such as a company unit in an export market, etc.) or in the case of company mergers.

Required
for the success of
B2B Business transformation
planning- and implementation consulting
- For the consulting to be successful, a trusting relationship between the company’s management and the consultant is essential.
- It is crucial to appoint a contact person from the management through whom the consultant can timely arrange necessary meetings, presentations, and engage leadership and key employees.
- This person should be well-informed about the company’s strategy and all revenue-generating operations, as well as the topics being addressed.
- The ideal candidate for this role is the CEO.

- The time commitment for the contact person regarding change planning and implementation consulting is approximately 6 to 12 hours per month
Duration and process of
B2B Business transformation

- The duration can vary significantly and depends on whether it involves the implementation of changes in individual processes/operations or a comprehensive transformation of the company or unit starting from strategy.
- It may also involve consulting on the implementation of a new entity being created or on the merger of companies.
- I expect that under normal circumstances, the duration will be 6 to 12 months.
- Change planning and implementation consulting begins with an initial meeting at the client’s premises or online.
- During the meeting, the results of previously conducted audits are analyzed, and a refined list of changes to be pursued is compiled.
- An implementation scenario is selected, and a rough timeline for execution is established.
- The meeting can also serve as the initial meeting if the consulting service is being discussed without prior auditing (such as creating a new unit, merging companies, etc.).
- During the meeting, the frequency of regular monthly consultations, the approximate total duration of consulting activities, and the need for interim activities will be decided.
- The consultant will submit a price proposal for change planning and implementation consulting to the client within one week after the initial meeting.
- Following the potential approval of the proposal by the client and the signing of the contract, collaboration between the company and the consultant will commence to develop a detailed plan for implementing changes/transformation.
- During the work, the consultant will prepare minutes for each meeting and send them to the contact person.
- The consultant will carry out agreed-upon interim activities within the framework of the contract.
- Additionally, the consultant will perform unexpected advisory activities that arise outside the contract's scope based on separate agreements.
