Melanie Franklin

Chief Executive Officer

I have always been passionate about personal development. At the start of my career, I was always studying for new qualifications and challenging myself to learn new skills and meet new people. As a result, I have had a fantastic career, and I want to enable others to have the confidence to say yes to opportunities and the skills to succeed.

I am excited to share the practical techniques used successfully by myself and my network of experts around the world. We know these techniques work, because we use them to effect change on the transformation programs that we deliver. The artificial intelligence that powers our Change Capability Hub™ ensures that we provide relevant answers to the real-life situations you face when making change happen in your organisation.

My belief about change is that we only change if everyone who has to work differently makes a conscious decision to change what they do. We cannot tell people to change, their decision is based on their belief in the value of the new ideas and their confidence in their ability to adopt new ways of working. Change is not a strategy, it is about personal choice. We must inspire, encourage and reassure those impacted, and that means giving them the knowledge, skills and confidence to lead themselves from their existing habits and routines to a new way of thinking, acting and feeling.

The experiences that have created this knowledge – organisations you have worked for; jobs you have had; countries you have worked in:

I work for global and local organisations; organisations and brands that are instantly recognisable (United Nations; Toyota; L’Oreal) and small scale organisations doing great work behind the scenes.

I love sharing my knowledge so I speak at lots of events, face to face and virtual podcasts and webinars – anywhere I have a chance to debate how we make organisational change happen. I have also written 10 books on project, program and change management and I am the Chief Examiner for two global qualifications in organisational change and transformation.
