We know that change is not linear, but more accurately captured as waves or cycles, with people and work in constant and varied motion.

The current pace of change and the need for leaders to be comfortable in navigating complexity has never been more important. 

In preparing leaders to lead through change, it is this constancy of change that warrants investment – preparing leaders well to lead out on one change prepares them to lead out on the ongoing changes that follow.

Equipping your leaders with essential capability, knowledge, and toolsets as early as possible - ahead of a demanding change agenda - ultimately pays off.

Yet, we know that change support is often considered at the height of change distress - when large-scale or substantive change is already in play, and leaders are already under pressure. We offer an advanced range of change leadership support at CVL, designed to meet you wherever you are in your change journey.

Where to start?

When facing large-scale change, it is easiest to see change in stages – to grapple with what is most important at this moment and to make it easier to get started and mentally tackle the challenges ahead.

At CVL, we focus our change support on three key areas that span the stages of change:

1. Supporting the work of change

2. Supporting leaders of change

3. Supporting people through change

Our support begins with designing the change, through to engaging or consulting on the change, implementing the change, and finally embedding the change. Here is a summary of the types of support we can partner with you on, at each of the stages of change, across your leadership community and wider organisation.

Our experience

Our CVL consultants are senior leaders with first-hand experience leading and supporting change activities in the public and private sectors.

We are experts at developing great leaders – it is our core business – through targeted upskilling, personalised coaching and bespoke facilitation support. We offer a unique combination of change experience, leadership developmental expertise, and practical change toolsets – to help ensure the success of your change programme.

How we work with you

Partnership is at the core of who we are at CVL. We see ourselves as an extension of your team, walking alongside you to support your organisation's work.
We help design the change (where required), and then set your leaders up to have at their fingertips the practical tools they can use to lead change themselves – rather than having to rely on others.
We openly share all our tools, methods, processes, and models because we are committed to building capability in change, not controlling it. And we don’t take over—we support you to lead the change. It’s your change, and our role is to lift you up to do it effectively.
