Why Bringing a Change Consultant Onboard Makes Sense
Higher Performing Organisations Turn to Tarran Deane for Results, Insight, and to Fill Critical Gaps.
Are you juggling one change after another, without the time to consolidate progress between projects?
Have past changes – tech rollouts or cultural reforms – disrupted morale and momentum?
You’re not alone.
Many organisations focus on the “thing”—whether it’s the latest technology, a new system, or an office move. Under pressure to show quick ROI, they rush to ‘go live’ without acknowledging that people transition through change at different paces.
Here’s the truth: You won’t reach 100% change readiness, unless you resource it well and together we plan for it.
Change is never one person’s job.
My hands-on role as a Transformation Specialist and Change Professional drives engagement, planning, participation and progress.
The Project team, the Executive Sponsor and Senior Responsible Officer, along with strategic partners, can mobilise the leaders and sponsors to activate their teams to ‘own’ the change.
As an organisational change management consultant for Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast and broader Queensland’s public, private and not-for-profit sectors, I’ll help you conduct change analysis, readiness assessments, and impact evaluations at every stage, keeping progress on track. Using PROSCI® ADKAR Enterprise Change Management tools, I’ll guide your team through the change process, ensuring cumulative adoption, utilisation and progress. Our aim: sustaining the change.
It only takes 17-34% of early adopters to influence the rest. Let’s focus on engaging those early adopters and building momentum, ensuring your change initiative drives success—whether it’s digital transformation, process improvement, or cultural shifts.
For Executives, Leaders, and Project Managers
As a leader, you’re swamped with financial reports, meeting demands, and those nagging compliance training reminders. You’re balancing priorities from every direction.
And then there are those “problem generators”—the employees doing just enough but not aligning with your values. Sound familiar?
This is where Organisational Change Managers step in.
With over a decade of consulting and experience leading teams in the government and not-for-profit sectors, I bring the expertise you need to move the needle. As a transformation specialist offering fixed-term and daily contract services in Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and across Queensland, I’m ready to help reduce your stress and deliver results.
