    Change Management

Oonagh has a keen sense of understanding how the business runs; the key levers to success and the business results her clients need. She guides them masterfully through a series of facilitated engagements towards the results they are looking for.

All too often organizations embark on large transformational change initiatives, set up a large program structure of project management to guide and direct the work that needs to be done and all too often forget about the structured set of activities that need to be undertaken to successfully move their people through the change to the new desired state. Oonagh has led many such large change management initiatives and has been called upon by the same clients to guide this work for them.
