Change management
We help our clients manage of the 'people' side of change.
Organisations only change when the people inside them change. By empowering individuals and teams to adapt to new priorities, challenges or ways of working, we help our clients maximise their success.
Change management combines principles learned from psychology, project management, public relations and several other disciplines to help guide people through change. This can be applied to everything from implementing a new system, to profoundly changing the culture of an organisation. In all cases, change management addresses the emotional impact that change has on individuals, as well as the new skills and behaviours required for success.
Case Study
Leading a major change initiative for one of the UK's leading advertising business
Oaklin led a market and business transformation programme at one of the UK’s leading advertising businesses, an Out of Home (OOH) media owner. Faced with a seismic change in the marketplace, fueled by the growth in digital advertising, the client had to embrace a digital marketplace and diversify its commercial routes to market. Oaklin led the change towards new ways of selling and trading, including a reorganisation of one third of the entire business. Key to the success of this programme was bringing the business along on the journey.
