Need a sustainable change in your organization?

read about our approach here

Viral Change(TM) offers an innovative framework for change. We show how a combination of the right language and frame, a small number of non-negotiable behaviors can create a critical engine of change.

Viral Change

one step

As a first step, it is necessary for the organization and management to see that change is only sustainable if the change starts from within. That there is an intrinsic motivation to create a pleasant and inspiring working environment together. And that there are employees who really want to put their energy into this and see the benefit for themselves and the rest of the organization.

Bottom up-top down approach

Viral Change is the design of Leandro Herrero and as he calls it: an alternative to slow,painful and unsuccessful management of change in organizations. It is a method to get a movement going in an organization that is contagious. It spreads like a virus without much effort.

Building support for change

The secret is to ask the most influential employees in an organization if they want to shape the change themselves. We also call them "influencers." Within a framework of core values established by management, the "influencers" are asked to translate the core values into concrete visible behavior they would like to see within the organization. It starts with a small group (usually about 10% of the population) that takes a seat in a working group and gets to work. They contribute to the building of the organization, which creates immediate support for the desired change and utilizes all knowledge and experience of the employees. 

sustainable change

The change is sustainable because the influencers themselves demonstrate the desired behavior. Be the change you want to see in your organization!

Our approach

Intake

The intake meeting is always free of charge. Together we identify the framework and what the basis for the change will be. And also what the desired outcome will be.

Composition of the working group the change team

If the basis from which we are going to change is in place (for example, the already defined core values) then we identify together with the client which key people there are who are also intrinsically motivated. They are then asked to lead the change. The management team is involved to provide support but does not participate in the change team. Later, when the core values have been developed by the change team, the team leaders (who are often also MT members) are asked to further implement the desired behavior in the organization.

Link with already existing objectives

The Change team does not operate independently of the (marketing) strategy that the board and or management team previously established. We connect optimally to this to create a self-reinforcing effect.

"Ella was one of the instructors at a personal leadership training provided by my employer. I was so impressed with her knowledge, skills as coach, trainer, and personality that I decided to ask her to continue coaching me after the training ended. Ella has mastered a great balance between providing a client with advice, insights and information and letting the client figure things out themselves. This has helped me in identifying and utilizing my strongest personal traits and determining which route to choose in my career, so I can be at my best while really enjoying my work."

"Ella is a consummate professional who is very driven to maximize her clients' growth. Hiring her takes guts because she holds up a mirror to everyone and makes no bones about it. But always with respect and that makes her add value in a shorter period of time than others. In short, she is worth the investment, you or your company are worth the investment. Don't procrastinate, do it! 👍"

"Ella Taal did a multi-day training session with the management team of the Oyster Bay Beach Resort. All managers had to complete an online personal communication style self-assessment. Ella did personal interviews with each manager. We then did one on one training with the management team. This training was awesome for our team building exercise. Would highly recommend this for any company wishing to empower their management team. This was simply amazing."

"What we have achieved, besides a lot of side benefits, is that we have become very aware of our personal needs. We have learned and experienced that these needs are non-negotiable; and along with our talents are very important for setting and achieving our personal goals. But most of all, I am very pleased with the genuine friendship that can develop between a man of 18 in 5 days. It is an experience I would not have wanted to miss. I am happy and proud to have been a participant .''
