Advisory & Projects
Counsel for the people leading the change
I work in two ways: as an advisor to the CEO and executive team, and as change lead on major projects. Advisory shapes the approach and the decisions. Project work builds and runs the change plan with your teams.
Executive alignment
A leadership team that agrees on direction, trade-offs and who decides what, and says so publicly. I find where commitment is thin and design how leaders are brought on record.
Transformation and change strategy
A change approach sequenced around what your organization can absorb: who is affected, who has the most to lose, and what has to happen before anyone is asked to change.
Operating model and organization design
Structures, roles and decision rights that match the strategy, including senior roles that need to be redefined or created.
M&A integration
Leadership alignment, people decisions and integration sequencing across organizations and jurisdictions, from announcement through the first year.
How an engagement runs
Three stages, shaped to where you are
Diagnose
Conversations with your leaders to find where alignment is real, where it is not, and where resistance will come from.
Align
Offsites and working sessions with the executive team to settle direction, decision rights and the sequence of change.
Advise through execution
Ongoing counsel at the moments that matter: announcements, leadership changes, and the points where momentum slips.
Project work
Change management for major projects
When a technology rollout, restructuring, process redesign or integration needs someone to lead the change work, I build the change plan and run it with your project team.
Plan
Change strategy and plans, stakeholder analysis, change impact assessments, and readiness assessments that show where adoption will be hard.
Equip
Leader and manager toolkits, communications and training plans, and change champion networks that carry the change into each team.
Deliver
Change activities sequenced to project milestones, coordinated with HR, IT and the business, and adjusted as feedback comes in.
Measure
Adoption and readiness tracking, so leaders see where the change is landing and where it needs support.
