CAMPAIGN
Helping CPOs anticipate and manage the impact, pace and complexity of business change on organisations, leaders and people.
Our latest campaign – Proactive people transformation – aims to position HR as a strategic partner of business transformation, helping to shape and lead how people are aligned to deliver productivity, efficiency, and sustainable growth.
In today’s fast-evolving business landscape, with businesses navigating unprecedented transformations, change is not a nice to have—it’s essential and constant.
At the heart of every successful change are your people.
That’s why we believe HR isn’t just a service function—it should be one of the driving forces behind every single business transformation.

Redefining HR’s role in business transformation
What prevents HR playing the people transformation role?
Several factors could limit HR’s role in leading business transformation. Some HR teams may be fully occupied with business-as-usual activities and lack capacity to support business transformation. Or there may be capability gaps of the skills needed to manage large-scale change initiatives. In other cases, the importance of People maybe downplayed as an important component of business transformation.
Often, it’s not just about resources or skills—it’s a mindset issue, where HR isn’t positioned as having a critical role in successful transformation.
How can we help your HR team drive the people dimension of your business transformation?

How do you position HR to shape business transformation in a people-centred way?
How do you manage change and transition as part of BAU?
