Change Management Consulting in Calgary, Alberta & Across Canada
Make change work. Make it stick.
Successful change takes more than a good plan.
We provide end-to-end change management support to help organizations prepare for change, engage the people affected and move from implementation to real adoption.
Change doesn't end at implementation.
A new system going live doesn't mean people are using it effectively. A new process being documented doesn't mean it has become the way people work. And announcing a new organizational structure doesn't mean everyone understands what needs to change.
​
Change management bridges the gap between implementing something new and actually achieving the outcome.
​
We work alongside your leaders, project teams and employees to understand what's changing, prepare the organization and help new ways of working take hold.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is change management?
Change management is the structured process of helping people and organizations successfully move from a current state to a new way of working. It can include change strategy, stakeholder engagement, communications, leadership support, training, readiness, adoption and reinforcement.
​
What does a change management consultant do?
A change management consultant helps organizations understand how a change will affect people and what is needed for successful adoption. This can include assessing impacts and readiness, developing change strategies, engaging stakeholders, supporting leaders, planning communications and training, and measuring adoption.
​
Can you work alongside our existing project team?
Yes. We can work alongside internal leaders, project managers, SMEs, and project teams to provide dedicated change management expertise. We can lead the full change workstream or provide targeted support depending on your internal capabilities and the needs of the initiative.
When does a project need change management support?
Change management can be particularly valuable when a project introduces new technology, processes, structures, roles or ways of working. The greater the impact on employees and the more the project's success depends on people changing what they do, the more important dedicated change management support becomes.
​
Do you provide management consulting in Calgary and across Canada?
Yes. A&A Consulting is headquartered in Calgary and supports organizations in Alberta and across Canada with change management. Support can be delivered virtually, in person, or as part of an embedded project team.
​
Can you help if a change initiative has gone off track?
Yes. We can step into an existing change initiative to assess what's not working, identify barriers to adoption and help reset the approach. This can include rebuilding stakeholder trust, addressing resistance, realigning leaders and developing a practical recovery plan to get the change back on track.
