Three out of four CEOs today see their company’s change readiness as a key competitive advantage. And they expect increasing change in the future, transformation change that is bigger, faster, more complex and cross functional. Change becomes the new constant as companies continually reconstruct their business to remain competitive in the marketplace. But new business strategies can’t be implemented without engaged employees and stakeholders, ready for the challenges the future holds.

Dixon|James delivers change management and strategic communications to support your business transformation.

​

We work closely with clients to create change that intimately reflects their unique structure and culture. Our proprietary assessment models tailor programs for each client as opposed to off-the-shelf templates used by many consulting firms. We leverage the methodology and tools most effective for each client engagement. We address governance, cultural obstacles, structural limitations, employee mindsets, anticipating and overcoming resistance and engagement of essential stakeholders to “create change” as opposed to simply managing it.

​

What separates Dixon|James’ approach is our decades of corporate communications and marketing experience and ability to "market" change in engaging and persuasive ways which address cultural dynamics that limit your employees ability to “choose change.”
