Focuses on the areas outside of the scope of traditional programme and change management methodologies
Gets "under the radar", "behind the lines" - and does "whatever it takes" to ensure that you DO succeed and DON'T become part of the 70% of failures.

The non-expert director of an organisation (or division or subsidiary of a corporate) with 200 – 2000 employees.
The director who is considering or implementing a step change i.e. change that is more than incremental change and that can not be handled within the scope of "business as usual".

Having spent over 25 years observing closely what works and what doesn't I came to realise that:

The single biggest reason for the astonishingly high 70% failure rate of all significant change initiatives has been the over-emphasis on process rather than people:

The failure to take full account of the impact of change on those people who are most impacted by it
The failure to recognise that organisational change is inextricably intertwined with personal change
First and foremost - a failure of leadership

It was this realisation that led to the creation of the
Practitioners Masterclass training materials via this site,
and global corporate training via

How I can add value to your change initiative

Define and create a programme to deliver your change initiative and the benefits
Address key areas outside of the scope of MSP, PRINCE and other traditional tools
Manage the politics and act as “guardian of your best interests”
Test your programme’s impacts on all key stakeholders - and remove resistance
Risk assess your programme and implement what has to be done to avoid failure
Ensure buy-in and motivation to change management requirements
Manage complex interfaces and relationships with key stakeholders and contractors
Identify and resolve the cultural gaps and issues - the hidden source of all resistance
