How we can help
Chief Transformation Officers (CTOs)
We partner with leaders to deliver successful transformations and sustainable results.
CEOs know that successful transformation efforts depend on the abilities of the person leading them—the Chief Transformation Officer. Change efforts with a dedicated transformation executive achieve 1.25 times more of the intended value than those without. To deliver on the company’s transformation vision, a CTO must create trust, effectively motivate and communicate, embody the organization’s core values, and know how to get work done. Our approach is informed by our deep experience across hundreds of transformations and our active global community of CTOs, who share their experiences, insights, and connections to help their transformation leader peers thrive in this challenging role.
