+

Yes. Nelson Ojong is a Prosci Certified Change Practitioner, and our change management work uses Prosci's research-based methodology and the ADKAR model, adapted to each organization.

What is the difference between change management and project management?

+

Project management delivers the technical side of a change: scope, schedule, budget and risk. Change management delivers the people side: making sure the people affected understand, accept and adopt the new way of working. We combine both, because a project can finish on time and still fail if nobody adopts it.

What is a fractional CHRO?

+

A fractional CHRO is a senior HR executive who works with an organization part-time, providing chief-HR-officer leadership without a full-time hire. It suits growing organizations, leadership gaps during a search, or a defined period of major change.

How does an engagement start?

Most engagements begin with a focused discovery conversation. We listen to what you are working through, help identify the highest-leverage opportunity, and propose the right scope of work.

How quickly will you respond to an enquiry?

+

We follow up on consultation requests within one business day.

Do you build our internal capability, or do we depend on you?

+

We focus on transfer: coaching your leaders and managers and handing over tools and methods, so your organization can sustain progress after the engagement ends.
