“Vision without execution is just hallucination.”
Thomas Edison
That’s the heart of Change Stack Advisory.
We help organisations turn ambition into action - not by trying to fix everything at once, but by focusing on the challenges that matter most, building alignment across leadership, and creating an ‘irresistible culture’ amongst teams.
We help leaders start strong — and carry on:
When change feels overwhelming, the hardest part is often knowing where to start.
We guide you through a clear, practical journey:
FREE Leader View Change Stack Map Diagnostic — your perspective on where change could stall.
Team Change Stack Map — alignment across your leadership team.
Success Roadmap — a tangible, visual plan for the next 4–6 quarters.
OKR Framework Delivery — embed change through quarterly OKRs, guided by our OKR Maturity Curve.
Monthly Ongoing Support Partnership — maintain momentum, track progress, and unblock challenges.
The result? Clarity on what matters most, alignment across teams, and momentum that lasts.
Change isn’t failing because leaders don’t care. It fails because:
Leaders don’t know where to start.
Teams aren’t aligned on priorities.
Projects lose momentum once the initial push fades.
The real problem:
70% of change programmes fail (McKinsey).
One in three change projects deliver no value at all. (Harvard Business Review).
Failed change costs UK businesses £32 billion per year (Prosci).
The data is clear:
We flip the odds: by starting strong, creating alignment, and sustaining progress
The Change Stack.
Vision & Direction — clarity of purpose and strategy.
People & Teams — skills, trust, and champions.
Culture & Behaviour — irresistible habits, reinforced from the top.
Process & Delivery — ways of working that sustain momentum.
Technology & Tools — systems that enable, not frustrate.
Partners & Ecosystem — bringing in the right expertise at the right time.
Innovation Readiness — resilience for the future.
Change isn’t one thing. It’s a stack of moving parts that need to work together:
When your Change Stack aligns, change becomes inevitable.
We help you start well and see it through by making sure all the moving parts of your Change Stack are aligned.
Together we’ll spot the gaps, decide what to fix first, pull together the right partners, and keep everything joined up.
We’re your Change Stack Advisors.
Our approach:
We don’t hand you binders or buzzwords.
We give you clarity, alignment, and momentum that lasts.
Four simple ways to work with us:
-
The Change Stack Map Leader View
Your personal perspective on where change could stall.
A scorecard and radar chart — plus a 1-hour clarity call.
-
Team assessment and alignment session.
Three workshops: Discovery, Definition, Proposal for Change.
A co-created, visual roadmap for the next 4–6 quarters.
-
We help you frame and embed OKRs across leadership and teams — guided by our OKR Maturity Curve — and keep your roadmap alive through a monthly cadence of alignment calls, dashboard updates, and quick fixes that stop progress stalling.
-
When needed, we connect you with trusted partners (culture, innovation, tech). You contract them directly — we make sure it all joins up.
Every path is designed so leaders start strong, and carry on.
After Change Stack Advisory:
Leaders stop firefighting and start leading.
Teams pull in the same direction.
Projects deliver faster, with less friction.
Change doesn’t stall — it sticks.
And the numbers back it up…
Companies that align culture, leadership, and systems see 2.5x higher success rates in transformation (BCG).
Organisations with strong change capability achieve 143% higher ROI on change investments (Prosci).
Effective change management increases project success from 30% to over 80% (McKinsey).
That’s what it means to start strong, and carry on.
Who we work with:
Mid-sized, complex organisations (£5m–£10m 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.
If that’s you, we should talk.

"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."
