Richard Dickie & Associates Inc. - Home

We are the "Change" Doctors focusing on diagnosis and preventative/corrective "change" interventions.

"There is nothing permanent (in life or business) except Change" - Heraclitus, Greek philosopher 5th century BC. How do we cope with it, manage it, how do we - dare I say - thrive in today's constantly changing business environment?

We offer services related to the "Change" domain. These services are somewhat analogous to Health Care services. Our focus is the health of a "Change Initiative" rather than "personal" health.

Just as the medical profession focuses on your personal well being so that you can live your life, we provide services that help you setup your projects for success (pre-emptive wellness program) or diagnose your current change project and recommend corrective / preventative actions to improve the "Health" of your change initiative. Like the medical profession which does not live your life, we do not perform change in your organization - we help YOUR Change succeed.

Broadly our services are:

Assessment of the "Health" of projects underway or planned (and recommend corrective actions if appropriate) from the perspective and probability that they will achieve the desired business change. This is an important step to ensure a "Healthy" project.
Assistance in setting up an Enterprise wide Change Management function to embed a Change Management culture in your enterprise.
Assistance in integrating Project Management and Change Management methodologies
Executive Advisor to "Change Initiative(s)" Governance bodies

Research studies report that as many as 70% of all projects fail to meet original project objectives. With the pace of change in business and society today accelerating exponentially, this change initiative success record will not improve without help. The White Papers section of this web-site provide detailed insights into the values and beliefs of Richard Dickie & Associates with respect to change. The White Papers are FREE and can be used directly by Leaders, Change Management professionals, and Project Management professionals as input to their quest for Change Initiative success.
