Change is an integral part of an organisation's life. In Aix-en-Provence, where businesses operate in a competitive and dynamic environment, transformations follow one another: new tools, mergers, reorganisations, managerial or cultural transitions…
But deciding on a change is not enough to make it happen.
The key isn't just in the plan – it lies in the way that women and men navigate it. In The Laughing Willow, we support Parisian organisations in their transformations with Clarity, method, and collective intelligence.
Our role: to make change realistic, human, and sustainable.
The Change Management, or change management, encompasses all practices that aim to facilitate the adoption and ownership of a change by the people concerned.
This is not simply internal communication or training: it is a genuine support for the transition between a “before” and an “after”. Where a strategic transformation defines what needs to change (vision, model, organisation), Change Management is concerned with comment change is experienced, understood, and embodied by the teams.
Organisations often face rapid changes. Here are some concrete examples we support:
- Internal reorganisation or team mergers in multi-site contexts
- Change of direction or governance within international groups
- Managerial or cultural transition in high-growth environments
- Roll-out of a strategic project on a national scale from Aix en Provence
- Implementation of a business system or new business tool (ERP, CRM, etc.)
Chaque type de changement génère des specific human impacts that must be identified, listened to, and supported with care.
Companies often operate in complex environments, characterised by urgency, diversity and continuous transformation.
Without structured support, it is frequently observed:
- a passive resistance to the new methods
- a loss of employee engagement
- a breakdown in internal communication
- and sometimes, the outright failure of the project
Well-managed change allows secure project success, while preserving the motivation and health of the teams.
Here are the pillars we observe in all our support sessions in Aix en Provence:
- Give meaning to clarify the “why” and the “what for” of the change
- Actively involve managers real relays and embodiments of the project
- Respect human rhythms, rather than imposing an arbitrary deadline
- Communicate with transparency, no-nonsense
- Accept the adjustment A living change regulates, adjusts, and improves itself
Every coaching session we conduct is bespoke.
Our interventions follow four main structured stages:
- Diagnostic and impact mapping
Identify sensitive areas, key stakeholders, and human risks. - Co-creation of the support plan
Prioritise needs and define the right levers: workshops, coaching, communication, regulation. - Implementation
Aiding group sessions, supporting managers, internal communications, feedback workshops. - Tracking and anchoring
Measure adherence, adjust, sustain. A living plan, never fixed.
Structured support allows for:
- Significantly reduce project failure rates
- Accelerate accession and implementation
- Minimise performance loss during the transition
- Maintaining team motivation and cohesion
- To firmly anchor new practices
According to Prosci (2022), until 70 % of projects fail in the absence of a Change Management framework.
Change doesn't have the same impact for everyone.
We are working on three complementary levels :
- Individuel (Individual Change Management)
To help each employee understand, accept, and commit to change. - Team (Team Change Management)
Support regulation, redefine roles, strengthen cohesion. - Organisation (Organisational Change Capability)
Integrate change into the company culture and governance models.
At home The Laughing Willow, we act on these three fronts, with Diligence, respect and clarity.
These two terms are sometimes used interchangeably... but they refer to different realities. Here's a simple comparison to make things clearer:
| Transformation | Change Management |
| The objective: to profoundly change the organisation | The process: supporting this change humanely |
| Strategy, culture, or business model | It covers behaviours, resistances, and buy-in. |
| Aim to reinvent the organisation | Aim to secure the transition |
| Requires a breakthrough vision | Requires a support method |
| Examples: merger, HR overhaul, business model change | Examples: internal communication, meaning workshops, coaching |
Transformation sets the course. Change Management makes the journey possible.
