Model
The A-B-C-D-E-F-G Model: Services
The A-B-C-D-E-F-G Model is a systemised 7-stage end-to-end methodology that promotes clarity and coordination for desired change, improvement, and growth in any given area.
Change - How to do it successfully
A successful change initiative is preceded by rigorous assessment and diagnosis, and guided throughout with a structured approach to ensure it delivers the desired benefits. Change is a necessary process both in business and in virtually every sphere of life. Yet, whilst many know that it must be carefully managed from inception, many change initiatives prove abortive - often because a conceived change is misjudged from the outset, or it is poorly executed.
At A New Level Luxury, we work collaboratively with our clients throughout each engagement, using our A-B-C-D-E-F-G Model to provide clarity and coordination to achieve desired change, improvement, and growth in their businesses.
The A-B-C-D-E-F-G Model: Services
There are four principles of change:
I --- Understand Change
II --- Plan Change
III --- Implement Change
IV --- Communicate Change
Introducing the A-B-C-D-E-F-G Model
A sound change strategy leverages a combination of principles from proven change models and methodologies, such as McKinsey’s 7-S model, Six Sigma’s DMAIC, ADKAR, Kotter’s Change Management theory, Lewin’s ‘unfreeze-change-refreeze’ and others. The best tools are always situational dependent, and whilst we adopt tried and trusted methodologies, we ensure that we adapt to each client context.
At A New Level Luxury, our client-centric consulting approach means that we are passionate about collaboratively working with our clients throughout the tenure of each engagement. We encourage client participation particularly at key stages as an indispensable element of our work, and use transparent and collaborative processes to ensure our clients remain engaged and enthused over the lifecycle.
One of the principal methods we use to achieve this, is our A-B-C-D-E-F-G Model - our dedicated technique which sets out clear, iterative stages to provide guidance and coordination, that keep our clients informed about the process and progress of each engagement.

How the A-B-C-D-E-F-G Model works
A > ASSESSMENT
We conduct a comprehensive assessment to establish the nature & scope of your business situation.
This is the first stage and involves: an exploratory consultation, followed by an investigative and analytical process to define the details of your business challenge or opportunity. This involves a range of steps to ascertain your current position and trajectory - ‘AS-IS”. Dependent on the nature of the identified business situation, this stage can take a couple of days up until a few weeks, or more. It is essential that this phase is exhaustive and thorough, to set a firm foundation which ensures that subsequent stages are performed with confidence and competence. The success of the entire project is dependent on how well this stage is conducted.
B > BLUEPRINT
We use expert tools and techniques to develop tailored proposals and a blueprint for your business.
This stage is conducted with the aid of various expert tools and techniques to identify the most propitious and productive options to address the situation. During this stage, we leverage and creatively build upon our findings in the assessment stage to develop advice and recommendations about the next steps you should take for your business. The goal of this stage is to produce proposals and a tailored blueprint containing detailed information forming our conclusions from the assessment and analysis completed,
C > CONSIDERATION
We exhaustively consider and review all your options to determine the most advantageous solution.
Having provided you with our proposals and blueprint, we invite you to discuss and explore our recommendations collaboratively to determine the way forward. This is a highly critical stage and requires your commitment and cooperation to approve (or disprove) our proposals. This stage sets the opportunity to address any concerns as well as to establish the scope and terms of any proposed implementation. It is important to note that Stages A - C are iterative. Whilst we do not commence an engagement without a well-defined and structured strategy, we maintain a proactive and adaptive view, seeking out new relevant information which may influence our proposals. This approach may mean that upon completing stage C, we may revert to B or A to ensure that we are confident that the agreed implementations are aligned to the initial goals of the engagement.
D > DELIVERY
We deliver your bespoke programme and implement the desired changes to a high standard.
Once you are satisfied with our final blueprint, and we are jointly confident that the proposed implementation will yield the intended results, we proceed to execute the requested projects in alignment with the terms and conditions we agree on. This begins with a detailed planning process for the project, to ensure that we are aligned to meet prescribed targets in terms of scope, objectives, budget, schedule, and benefits. This stage is conducted using a dedicated project management framework to ensure that the project is successfully implemented.
E > EVALUATION
We evaluate the results achieved and calculate expected benefits vs realised benefits.
We conduct ongoing evaluation of all our projects throughout each key phase, and not only at the completion of the project. We normally expect our projects to abide within the designated project targets, however, should there be any significant deviations, we ensure to communicate this you in a timely manner in order to agree the best way forward. At the completion of the project, we will review and perform an appraisal of the final results and review the project performance against the targets.
F > FOLLOW-UP
We follow-up and monitor your progression to identify and address any required adjustments.
After the project has been completed, we will maintain close contact with your business and be on hand to provide support for an interim period. We ensure that clients are satisfied that the changes implemented are fully integrated into business-as-usual including any necessary training and development required by your personnel to fully integrate changes to processes and procedures.
G > GROWTH
We are satisfied only when your business begins to enjoy measurable improvement and growth.
We believe however, that 'growth' is not an end-goal, but the starting-point on a new trajectory. It is not a destination, it is a process. Our goal is to support you and work alongside you to a point where you are satisfied that your business begins to enjoy tangible, sustainable improvement and growth. We are passionate about our clients' results, and treat their businesses as our own.

The A-B-C-D-E-F-G Model for your Business
The current climate explicates the nature of change - change is inexorable, and it is inevitable.
Consequently, businesses have a choice:
I > Actively pursue the dynamism and innovativeness that charge affords by developing a proactive attitude to change.
II > Acquiesce to an impulsive, volatile response by submitting to a reactive posture to the inevitable.
Today, a new dawn heralds a new normal, where impetuous change is customary, and businesses can choose to embrace change in the midst of the uncertainty. In practice, businesses can rarely survive by doing otherwise as competitors in virtually every industry strive to outclass rivals, and participants in today’s markets have never been more enterprising.
Your business develops and grows in the midst of change; opportunities are exploited via change. A robust change strategy is therefore not merely beneficial, it is imperative.
