At The Center for Emotional Development (CED), we understand that change is a process, not an event; and change involves people. This process includes understanding our customer’s vision for change, and integrating our change management activities into the client’s improvement plan. It also involves educating the key sponsors and stakeholders on change management, assessing the organization’s change readiness, developing a change management strategy and communication plan, coaching people through the change process, and evaluating the success of the change initiative.
CED draws upon its unique partnerships, set of experience, knowledge, and certifications. It is at the core of our mission to engage the diverse skills of our team, in order to position our services as assets to our customers.
We recognize that every company, no matter how small or large, is composed of the same common element ... people. It is the individuals within an organization that make the organization world class. A company can have the greatest ideas, products, or service offerings, but ultimately the only way to guarantee results that are in proper alignment with the company's core vision is to get the people in the company to perform at peak levels with a clear purpose. Now, more than ever, companies need to focus their energies and resources on nurturing and developing their employees. Companies that make management development a strategic priority will move to the head of the pack and attract and retain the best leadership talent.
