“Good morning Mr. Director!”
This is how a friend of mine a junior receptionist greeted all the white-collar staff at an architecture company many years ago. “If I shoot a bit higher that’s fine,” he said to me with a bewildering smile. That is what popped in my mind at the first place when I noticed that we are […]
Keep your focus! – The routine of visualization
To achieve our goals it is essential to set them properly. The SMART method must be familiar to many people. However once the goal is set it is just as important to visualise them on a daily basis to maintain focus and keep our goals alive. Things of everyday life, chores, responsibilities or other desires […]
A Clear Message
Does anyone know of an organization that’s not being transformed currently? From the grocery on the corner through the accountancy office to the Catholic Church, all the businesses are in for some kind of change. If you don’t just want to go with the flow, you try to grab it and control it somehow. First […]
About us
“I led HR and Quality departments, worked as trainer and facilitator, served the last years as director of corporate development at E.ON Hungaria. Recently I’ve set up Change Routine with my friend, Norbert.
Handling complex business-, process and organizational changes, finding take-off points, keeping the focus – these challenges inspire me.
My creative hobbies are board-game-development and ink-painting. I do some sport and I am involved in social volunteering activities.”
“I started as a recruitment and HR consultant. I was HR Director of a top Hungarian ITC company for many years. After living half a decade in Western-Europe I moved back to Hungary and run an established headhunting firm until we gave birth to Change Routine.
I sat at both sides of the table so I can see challenges from more perspectives. I easily tune-in to others’ struggles.This makes it easier to clarify goals and paths.
I practice creative writing and participate in Obstacle Course Races.”

What's your struggle?
The process is slow and costly...
Make it faster, cheaper and accurate!
Before we hastily start tidying up the process jungle, let’s take a look around. What is the skill level and prevailing attitude of the development team? It’s better to fix capability and motivation problems before start reviewing the data, charting the program, cementing the milestones and testing the paths. The common process development pitfalls can be prevented by applying the right methods.
The project portfolio is fuzzy...
80% of projects fail to meet two of the „time-cost-content” expectation trinity. 50% are in a delay.
Creating more value from the same resources, delivered flexibly and reliably. This is definitely impossible without rearranging the current resource allocation, delivery planning and execution management practices. There is a path – a narrow one – to outgrow the problem. In this challenging journey we rely on the power of transparency. This is often called “agile transformation.”
Customers are complaining...
… and not loyal. The costy campaigns and slogans bring little.
For lasting results you need to find quick and effordable ways to permanently satisfy your customers. This is a tightrope walk. You are required to increase reaction time and customer enthusiasm at all bits and levels of the organization with heart and mind, data and emotion…
More needed than recruiting...
… but we can’t afford a permanent team of HR experts to develop professional systems of performance-, talent- or succession management, leadership or organization development.
The HR System Development Project is a cost-effective HR outsourcing service. A dedicated professional works permanently within the organization to set up tailored, value adding human resource systems. The expert also prepares the management to use the systems professionally.
It's hard to mobilize in change
Change comes with uncertainty and resistance, which can cause operation difficulties and underperformance.
There are tried-and-tested change management solutions to make everyone join-in and push the cart in the right direction. If stakes are high and there is no time to experiment, involving a change management expert can save a lot: time, team, and at the end: money. In close cooperation with the specialist the management can quickly work out and skillfully adjust the content and schedule of the change operation, communication and involvement. With professional planning surprises and delays can be minimized ensuring the continuity of critical business activities. The expert not only helps to make this transition smoother but shows ways to embed the applied change management routines into the company culture, thus creating a permanent competitive edge.
Talented professionals wanted...
…but we just can’t attract them. Those we train, leave. The business areas point the finger at HR, and vice versa.
It’s a gamble to merely hope for better days. The causes need to be uncovered. Dig deep! An honest look into the mirror often helps. „As HR professionals, do we REALLY know what the business needs? How much time do we spend in the frontline with them? Are we aware of their daily challenges? Do we know what they appreciate here? Have we prepared the leaders to share this with those we recruit?” With the support of our competent professional you can faster establish the HR routines to create business value by attracting and retaining talent…like a real talent magnet!
The way we work
Your target is our mission
We set-up a quarterly program which we implement in two-week sprints with monthly retrospectives and plan adjustments. “What are we going to test next week?” is a common question of ours. The answer shows whether the track and pace is right.
We use tried-and-tested tools…
Whole in mind - one step at a time
We shoot for sustainable solutions, consider several aspects, but deal with one thing at a time, which used to include elements of four areas:
We identify, summarise and explain the foreseeable risks and bricks of the planned changes based on targeted, structured inquiry.
We clarify roles and authorisation level of those participating in the development, discuss sphere of experimentation and consequences of failure and success.
We use the existing patterns but intensify the information-exchange between the contributors to keep the direction and pace of development.
Change requires extra miles. Some gets exhausted. One should learn to realise it and treat humanly.
Honestly, straight
Brutal honesty to ourselves and our partners: that’s point zero. We might say or show you something uncomfortable to help you draw conclusions. Our responsibility is to do this for your development. Without straightforward words real progress cannot be made, and disappointment can be taken for sure.
We offer alternatives
Based on the development journey you can judge the readiness of your organization and choose the point from which you may progress with less support from our side. We offer flexible plans to be there for you as long, close and frequent as you need.
Topics might arise during our cooperation which require different knowledge or skills than ours. In such cases we help you finding the right expert to talk to.
