Accelerating Organizational Change for IHG

Situation

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) had completed a major organizational restructuring that included significant workforce reduction, creating substantial challenges for productivity and morale across affected business units. Due to lack of clarity around new organizational structures and role definitions, productivity had decreased in key areas while uncertainty prevailed throughout the organization. The new leadership team recognized the critical need to engage and energize new stakeholder groups while fostering renewed commitment to the organization’s mission. The company required comprehensive change acceleration support to help leaders navigate the complex transition, establish clear communication channels, define new ways of working, and rebuild organizational confidence following the restructuring.
