Roma Gaster and the professional team of KARIBU associates work with organisations at various stages of their development. We are frequently asked to partner with clients in how to manage and effectively respond to the challenges associated with rapid change. Change can take many forms - expansion through merger or acquisition, organic growth or through downsizing, outsourcing and cost containment. During any change phase - structural, systems, cultural and financial challenges can lead to disruptive and time consuming interpersonal conflict, causing damage to effective team and organisational cultures.

Many organisations are tempted to look at improving their cultures and team dynamics after change has happened. KARIBU encourages clients to lay the foundations for moulding, building upon and maintaining a sustainable and high performance culture prior to and during change, rather than waiting to deal with any negative impacts and adverse habits after the event.

Our experience also shows that any form of cultural change, unless led from the executive layer, is difficult to attain and sustain. For this reason we prefer to begin working with the executive team and senior leaders of an organisation or division.
