A dinner which hosted HSCB, Johnson & Johnson, RBS, Shell, Amec and others all we in agreement that change does not come from I, however IT is a key driver in the change. Change really comes from the Exec and needs executive sponsorship and can take no prisoners to be successful. Therefore a good change director needs to have a 18 to 24 month time horizon and not aiming to consolidate their organisational position as part of the change. In this area consultancy or specialised interim services are idea.
