Have a question?
Around 70% of transformation programmes fail to deliver on their goals — not because of the tech, but because of gaps in leadership, capability, delivery capacity, or the wrong people in critical roles.
Hiring at pace, hiring for unfamiliar skillsets, or hiring without a structured plan can derail progress fast.
This guide helps senior leaders understand where hiring goes wrong and how to put the right people strategy behind their transformation from day one.
This is a practical, senior-level resource designed to help you structure, plan and execute transformation hiring with confidence.
Inside, you’ll find:
• Clear frameworks for planning and sequencing hires
• Guidance on building flexible teams
• Tools for shaping success profiles and interviewing effectively
• EVP and employer brand tactics
• Future trends leaders need to prepare for
This guide is built for senior decision-makers responsible for delivering or supporting digital change, including:
• CIOs / CTOs / CTrOs
• COOs and transformation leaders
• Heads of Product, Change and Digital
• HR, People and Talent leaders
• Programme and delivery leads
If you’re planning a transformation, scaling one, or struggling to hire the capability you need, it’s for you.
Yes! In fact, that’s the perfect time.
Most hiring mistakes happen early, when objectives are still forming and roles are defined too narrowly or too late.
We hope that using this guide at the start gives you a clear roadmap for capability planning, talent sequencing and building momentum from the outset.
Absolutely.
Many organisations come to us mid-programme when briefs change, delivery slows, or early hires aren’t landing as expected.
This guide helps you reset, re-align roles to outcomes, and bring structure, clarity and speed back into your hiring approach.
