Saturday Catch-Up: Agencia Advisory

Updated: Sep 12

Welcome to our Saturday catch-up! This week, we're focusing on the core themes of effective governance and strategic advisory that are crucial for successful transformations. As a company that offers advisory services for boards and steering committees, we're constantly thinking about the key issues that influence the outcome of major projects. Let's revisit some of the insights from our past blogs that shape our advisory approach.


The Foundations of a Successful Transformation


Successful transformations don't happen by chance; they are built on a solid foundation of effective leadership and sound governance. Our blogs highlight several critical components:


  • Embracing a Dynamic Approach to Change: Change management is no longer a static, one-time event. As explored in "When Change Management Changes," it's a dynamic and evolving practice. Organisations must adapt their strategies continuously to stay competitive in a digitally-influenced business outlook.


  • The Power of a Single Sponsor: While it may seem tempting to have multiple project sponsors, we've found that a single sponsor is far more effective. In "The Power of a Single Sponsor: Driving Success in Project Management," we argue that a single visionary provides a clear sense of direction and purpose, eliminating confusion and ensuring alignment.


  • Building a Healthy Risk Culture: Projects inevitably face risks. "Risk in Change: Mitigation through Intelligent Failure" encourages organisations to build a positive risk culture where transparency and proactive mitigation are the norm. This approach eliminates the "gaslighting" that occurs when risks are ignored and helps teams learn from setbacks.

Optimising Your Change Team


A successful transformation also depends on having the right people with the right skills in place.


  • Strategic Resourcing: The question of "How many change management resources do I need?" is a common one. Our blog on this topic acknowledges that outdated procurement models can hinder a project's success. It argues that flexible, modern recruitment models are essential for building the perfect change management team.


  • The Rise of Professional Service Startups: In "Unleashing the Power of Change & Communication Professional Service Startups," we shared our unique insights into the agility and expertise that startups bring to the table. Their ability to deliver innovative, flexible solutions is having a significant impact across various sectors, challenging traditional practices and driving businesses toward a more advanced future.


By focusing on these core principles, boards and steering committees can ensure their transformations are not only successful but also sustainable.
