Project & Change Management
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Programme, Portfolio or Project Management?
Do you need Programme or Portfolio Management or smaller-scale Project Management? Whatever your organisation’s size or complexity, we can scale our approach to match your needs.
We have a wealth of tried-and-tested tools for delivering projects successfully and sustainably. In addition, our consultants leverage Continuous Improvement techniques, including LEAN and Agile, to meet delivery requirements. Loughridge Transformations can provide accredited project management resources or coach and advise your resources as Programme or Project Leads.
We are experts in using virtual-working skills and technology to accelerate project delivery and reduce cost, regardless of location or time zone. Our consultants have applied this approach in a variety of functional transformations and improvement projects, such as:
- Design and deployment of new processes for transformation or changes in legislative or fiscal regimes, including ESG
- ERP Deployment, Upgrades and other technology improvements
- Set-Up and Improvement of shared-service centres
- Business-Partnering Skills & Capability
- Organisational Re-Design
- Design and deployment of standardised global control frameworks (including testing for operational effectiveness)
- Post-Merger Integrations
Change Management
A successful project plan should always incorporate change management. When transforming your organisation, a shift in how people work is essential. That’s why we prioritise focusing on individuals to ensure effective and sustained change. This people-centred approach maximises the value of any implementation, regardless of its scale. Loughridge Transformations can provide accredited change management resources or coach and advise your resources as change leads.
Implementing change can be particularly challenging, especially in a virtual or hybrid environment, whether cross-border or global implementation or when all parties work remotely. We have significant experience managing such challenges and related organisational factors in virtual or multi-location workplaces. Moreover, we excel in developing change management approaches and tactics that align with the people, the environment, and the specific change, ensuring on-budget and on-schedule delivery.
We also collaborate with a network of specialist coaches and organisational effectiveness and change professionals who hold a range of relevant coaching and team development accreditations. These specialists join our team when our clients have specific needs or our engagements require extended expertise.
We excel in delivering solutions for our clients, whether at the client site or virtually, individually, or in teams. Working across multiple geographies, cultures, and time zones is second nature to the experienced consultants at Loughridge Transformations.
LT partnered with our team from early design through implementation on a project to achieve global alignment on Finance’s future “Ways of Working.” Jennifer and the team did a terrific job facilitating virtual and in-person workshops. Their expertise and experience in corporate finance added incredible value to the project.

LT provided us with strong project management skills and helped us communicate and integrate the changes with a large number of people within our Finance teams. Jennifer ensured that we captured and documented the actions needed for success, even looking forward beyond the implementation date, to ensure that we remained on track, with clear visibility of progress, ensuring that the business retained ownership and accountability.
