Who I am and How I Work

About Tom LaForce

I help organizations work better together, especially when they’re navigating complex change. For more than 30 years, I’ve supported leaders, project teams, and employees through the people‑side of transformation.

My background blends an MBA, a BS in Psychology, and formal training from both Prosci and the Agile Change Leadership Institute.

That combination means I understand change from every angle: the business decisions driving it, the human behavior shaping how it’s received, and the practical methods that keep people aligned and moving forward.

I’m not a theorist. I’m the person you call when you want steady progress, straightforward communication, and a partner who knows how to keep people engaged during a D365 implementation.

About LaForce Teamwork

LaForce Teamwork Inc. is a consulting practice focused on the human side of Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementations. I work with executives, PMOs, and project sponsors who want their ERP projects to land smoothly—with users who understand what’s changing and leaders who are aligned on how to support it.

My work centers on six core services:

D365 Change Management
User Adoption
Leadership Alignment
Readiness & Impact Assessment
Project Rescue
ERP Implementation Communication

How I Work

Every organization is different, but the way I support clients is consistent.

I make change easier to navigate.

People want to know what’s happening, why it matters, and what they need to do. I translate project decisions into messages and actions that make sense to employees and leaders.

I help leaders get on the same page.

When leaders send mixed signals, projects slow down. I help them align on decisions, expectations, and communication so the rest of the organization can move forward.

I focus on the work that actually moves the project.

You don’t need a stack of templates. You need the right conversations, the right communication, and the right support at the right time.

I take work off your plate.

Most project teams are overloaded. I handle the communication, planning, and coordination tasks that keep people informed and engaged—so your team can stay focused on delivery.

A Note About SMB Change Management

Most small and mid‑sized organizations don’t need a full‑time change manager. You can get meaningful, high‑impact support in 10–15 hours per week when the work is focused and aligned with your project’s priorities.

That’s exactly how I operate:

Lean
Practical
High‑value
No unnecessary overhead

You get the expertise you need without adding to your headcount.

What You Can Expect

When we work together, you’ll get:

Straightforward communication people can act on
Leaders who understand their role in the change
Users who know what’s changing and why
A smoother, more predictable implementation
A partner who keeps things moving without creating extra work

My job is to help your people succeed so your project succeeds.

FAQs

Do you work full-time on projects?

Most SMBs don’t need full‑time change management. You can get strong results in 10–15 hours per week when the work is focused and aligned with project priorities. That’s why I usually work on several projects in tandem.

How do you work with our internal team?

I integrate with your project team, PMO, and leadership group. I take on the communication, planning, and alignment work that keeps people informed and moving forward. In most cases, the work is all done remotely.

Do you follow a specific methodology?

I draw on a wide range of disciplines to give each implementation exactly what it needs. I find most clients prefer that I stay away from heavy frameworks and unnecessary templates. I’m happy to oblige them by only doing work that matters.

What size organizations do you support?

I primarily work with small and mid‑sized organizations implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 or similar ERP systems. Because the work is done remotely, I can support companies anywhere in the U.S.
