Steve Kotsines, Organizational Change Management Specialist

Medium Bio

I am an independent change management consultant practitioner with over 20 years of experience.

I use a practical, executable methodology that defines, measures, influences, directs, and delivers my client’s change initiatives in whatever their form.

As a hybrid “strategist” and “execution / delivery” professional, I have managed and actively developed, coordinated, and delivered client-specific, “purpose-to-fit” change programs.

I have delivered measurable results and outcomes based on my client’s objectives, goals, and metrics. The types of programs I typically support are:

  • Complex technology integration and enablement
  • Change Management Office (CMO) or Change Management PMO
  • Organization Development
  • Strategic Business Transformation

Long Bio

I am a consultant practitioner specializing in Organizational Change Management with extensive experience around complex technology initiatives; organization assessment, design, and restructuring; and strategic business transformation.

My philosophy is that organizational change management addresses the “human side” of change. It is the analysis and strategy, methodology and delivery, of tools and programs that successfully deliver change. Change Management invests in the human capital that delivers business results. Most strategic change initiatives fail, not because they are unfeasible or technically unsound, but because of people and human psychology.

As a change consultant, I use a practical, executable methodology that defines, measures, influences, directs, and delivers the client’s change initiative in whatever its form. The methodology is tailored “purpose to fit” to meet client needs, and includes:

  • Engaging and coaching the leadership and management teams to effectively sponsor, support, and implement the program
  • Ensuring that the organizational structures, processes, and jobs/roles are aligned to deliver the change
  • Designing and executing a communication strategy that informs, creates dialog, and builds consensus and support throughout the organization.
  • Defining and executing a training program that ensures that the appropriate skills and knowledge exist to support the change
  • Creating measurable goals and metrics that identify and capture the values or revenues associated with the change
  • Planning the tactical implementation of the change program through detailed plans

Over the past 20 years I have managed multiple change implementation projects across multiple industry sectors, including management of both small and large teams that developed, coordinated, and delivered the change implementation program.

I typically report directly to the leadership and management who are ultimately responsible for executing the change initiative (Human Resources, Organization Development, Information Systems), including matrixed reporting relationships to multiple business sponsors since change initiatives frequently involve multiple organizational areas.

In summary, my primary strength is an ability to help the business know the value of, role, and impact of organizational change management. My primary goal is knowledge transfer and transformation so the practice of change management delivers the results sought by the business.
