Organisational Change, Transitions, Leadership

Organisation: Knowle West Media Centre

The project: A small team of us from PG Collective was invited to work alongside KWMC on a key piece of organisational change work as the Founder prepared to retire and the organisation considered its options going forward. The scope of work including developing a change strategy, co-designing and putting in place a shared leadership structure, and reviewing the organisation’s business model and organisational structure. As a result of this work, we were able to realise a number of impacts together.

Impact:

• Co-developed a change strategy using transparent, inclusive methodologies for gaining input from across the whole organisation, gaining the teams’ confidence during a challenging and uncertain period of transition;
• Considered a range of leadership models and supported the team to explore these and together adopt a recommendation for a shared leadership model
• Compiled a report outlining key findings and recommendations for the organisation to consider in terms of future direction of travel around its business model and governance
• Facilitated team and Board meetings using consent-based decision making to ensure everyone had equal opportunity to listen, speak, make proposals and consent to the recommended changes, paving the way for a smooth transition and clarity of leadership.

“I wanted to add my thanks to you all for the work you have done to support the Trustees and team. I feel confident that KWMC is going to flourish with a confident, reinvigorated team. And, I am really pleased that the Trustees embraced the consent-based decision making – thank you for using this so effectively. I was impressed that you hit the ground running, delivered with care, listened attentively and that we have arrived at a way forward.” – Carolyn Hassan, Founder/Director
