That’s what Change Stack Advisory is built on.
We don’t pretend to have all the answers when it comes to change management. Instead, we work with CEOs and leadership teams to spot the gaps, decide what to fix first, and bring in the right partners so change actually sticks.
The result? Clarity on what matters most, alignment across teams, and momentum that lasts.
Leaders know they need to drive change...
Staff are tired and stretched.
Tech is moving faster than people can adopt and benefit from it.
Teams don’t always work in rhythm, so projects slip.
Customers, regulators, and boards expect more every year.
The real problems are:
Knowing where to start – turning ambition into clear, practical steps by prioritising the right problem - not trying to do everything at once.
Seeing it through – starting with the most important issue, then getting the wider set of moving parts working together.
…but change is tough.
These moving parts make up the ‘Change Stack’
and when they align, change becomes inevitable.
We’re your Change Stack Advisors.
Vision & Direction – defining the ‘why’, agreeing the ‘how’ and co-creating the path so everyone owns it.
People & Teams – building skills, trust, and champions for change.
Culture & Behaviour – driving the right habits, led from the top.
Process & Delivery – implementing a steady way of working, with accountability.
Technology & Tools – introducing systems that enable, not frustrate.
Partners & Ecosystem – brokering partnerships with trusted specialists when you need them.
Innovation Readiness - embedding the tools, people and processes needed for building future resilience.
We help you start well and see it through by making sure
all the moving parts of your Change Stack pull together.
Spotting the gaps, deciding what to fix first, pulling together the right partners, and keeping everything joined up.
How it works…
-
30-day Change Stack Map: a short, incisive diagnostic to define the challenge and action plan to solve it. The project comprises a leadership and team assessment, alignment call, scorecard, requirements definition and action plan.
-
When you need extra support outside of your own partner network, we can step in as project managers, and broker with proven specialists who are contracted directly for delivery. We orchestrate the whole stack to work seamlessly with your internal capability.
-
We work alongside you each month to make sure people, process, tools and partners stay connected. Monthly retainer covers Governance, oversight, reporting and subsequent identification of future needs.
A simple, practical way to start change and see it through.
We’re not for everyone.
We don’t do endless steering groups, big-firm theatre, or ‘transformation’ that burns cash but doesn’t change anything.
We do our best work with:
Mid-sized, complex organisations (£10m–£50m turnover, ~1,000 people) where change is mission-critical and resources are stretched.
Leaders under pressure to deliver — from regulators, boards, investors, or customers — who need results that show up fast.
Executives facing fragmented change efforts — culture, tech, and process running as silos, leading to wasted spend and stalled projects.
Leadership teams frustrated by consultants ‘doing it to them’ — without building the internal belief or capability to sustain results.
Organisations with capability gaps — lacking the skills to drive digital transformation, innovation, or culture change on their own.
Multi-site, multi-brand operations (housing, utilities, healthcare, retail, hospitality, manufacturing) where alignment across teams is make-or-break.
Leaders who want capability, not dependency — organisations that would rather build muscles than hire crutches.

"We’d run several transformation programmes before, but none really stuck. Change Stack Advisory's approach gave us a framework to join everything up - culture, process, tools, and partners. It’s practical, it’s measurable, and it gave leadership the confidence that this time the change will last."
