Real transformation. Impactful delivery. Sustainable change.

Making complex transformation land — and last.

NAB Change Consulting partners with organisations and leadership teams to shape, mobilise and deliver complex transformation. We combine programme delivery, operating model and organisation design, change, leadership, culture and capability to turn transformation ambition into measurable outcomes.

And we don't stop at implementation. We build the skills, knowledge, behaviours, leadership capability and ways of working needed to make change stick — so your organisation keeps succeeding long after the programme has ended.

Why we exist

A career inside transformation taught our founder an uncomfortable truth.

From change management expert to leading transformation, L&D and culture — and years working alongside the big consultancies and recruiters — the same pattern kept appearing:

Pattern one

Premium fees, junior teams

Big consultancies charging director rates while sending people still learning the job — driving up cost and stretching timelines with every extension.

Pattern two

One framework for everyone

The same methodology rolled out on every programme, in every organisation — as if your capabilities, norms, culture and ways of working didn't exist.

Pattern three

CVs and interviews that don't live up to the reality of delivery

Recruiters placing people who impress on paper and in interview, then struggle on a live programme — because neither tells you what it takes to land change.

The cost isn't just money and time. It's people — customers getting a worse service, and colleagues dreading how change lands on them.

“I stopped waiting for the industry to change and built the practice I kept wishing I could hire — senior specialists who learn your organisation first, blend in, build your capability, and get the job done.”
Niesh Boal — Founder, NAB Change Consulting

NAB was created to bridge the gap between transformation ambition and what it takes to actually deliver it. We operate through a senior-led model, bringing trusted transformation specialists, expert practitioners and trainers together around the particular needs of each engagement. Most importantly, we believe successful transformation should leave an organisation stronger — delivering real outcomes while transferring knowledge, developing people and embedding the capability to sustain them.

What we do

From ambition to execution — and lasting impact.

Transformation isn't successful because a strategy has been agreed, a new system has gone live or a programme has reached its end date. It succeeds when the organisation can deliver the change, operate differently, build the right capabilities and sustain the benefits. Our work connects four critical dimensions of successful transformation — the pieces too often managed separately.

Programme and transformation delivery

Turning transformation ambition into real delivery.

Experienced programme and transformation leadership — the governance, plans, teams and delivery disciplines required to turn ambition into action.

We don't advise from the sidelines. We work alongside your teams to deliver.

Operating model and organisation design

Building an organisation capable of delivering the strategy.

Target operating models, organisation design, roles and accountabilities, governance, processes, ways of working and workforce transition.

Our focus isn't simply designing the future state. We help you make the transition to it.

Change, culture and organisational capability

Making change work for the people who need to deliver it.

Change strategy, impact assessment, leadership alignment, engagement, communications, culture, readiness, skills, adoption and benefits realisation.

Our goal is to leave organisations more capable — not more dependent on consultants.

Technology, customer and colleague transformation

Connecting transformation to the people and outcomes that matter.

The business and organisational change around major technology programmes — CRM and enterprise systems, portals, field-service technology and digital enablement.

We connect the technology with the operating model, processes, experience, skills and adoption.

The NAB approach

How we make transformation land — and last.

Our approach connects ambition with practical delivery and sustainable organisational capability. No two organisations are set up for change the same way — so we start with yours: its capabilities, norms, culture and ways of working.

1

Understand

We start with the outcomes — your strategy, ambition, organisational context, customer and colleague needs, and what success needs to look like.

2

Shape

We help define what needs to change — operating model, organisation design, processes, governance, technology, capabilities, culture and leadership.

3

Mobilise

We turn ambition into an executable programme — roadmap, governance, leadership alignment and the programme and change capability to deliver it.

4

Deliver

Where transformation becomes real. We work alongside leaders and teams to drive delivery, solve problems, make decisions and maintain momentum.

5

Build capability and embed

We help people develop the skills, knowledge, mindsets and behaviours to succeed — so implementation becomes adoption, and adoption becomes normal practice.

6

Sustain and measure

We transfer knowledge and ownership, measure adoption and outcomes, and strengthen internal capability. Not dependency — lasting capability.

Why NAB

Senior expertise. Practical delivery. Lasting capability.

Complex transformation requires more than frameworks, presentations and recommendations. It requires people who can move comfortably between the boardroom, the programme environment and the frontline — connecting strategic ambition with what actually needs to happen.

Strategic perspective

Understanding the bigger organisational and commercial picture behind transformation.

Real, impactful delivery

Practitioners who work alongside your teams, solve problems and take responsibility for making things happen.

Operating model and organisation design

Connecting transformation with the structures, roles and ways of working required for the future.

Leadership partnership

Working closely with leaders to create alignment, make decisions, remove barriers and visibly lead.

People, culture and change

Understanding what transformation means for people and creating the environment for adoption.

Engaging capability building

Expert-led learning that turns skills, knowledge and behaviours into practical experiences people apply.

Flexible specialist expertise

The right practitioners brought together around each challenge — not a predetermined consulting model.

Knowledge transfer

Building internal capability so organisations are stronger and increasingly self-sufficient.

Our work

Real transformation. Real delivery. Real outcomes.

Across housing, charity and volunteering, financial services, telecoms, professional services and local government — programmes where success required the alignment of strategy, delivery, organisation, leadership and people.

Target operating model redesign and implementation

Full TOM redesigns — roles, ownership, structures and governance from exec level down — including one requiring buy-in from around 40,000 volunteers.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Sales, Marketing and Field Service rollouts delivered in agile models, with the process redesign and adoption work that makes them land.

Salesforce CRM and case management

Case management implementation and contact management rolled out to 600 colleagues with 100% adoption — a behaviour shift, not just a system change.

Customer portal and field service app

Digital self-service and field-force tools with high adoption, already delivering cost and efficiency savings.

Dynamic scheduling (housing)

Repairs transformation and scheduling for housing providers — the systems, data and operating-model change that improve repairs performance.

HR transformation and systems

HR systems and Workday finance implementations, with the consultation, re-skilling and restructuring handled properly.

Merger and integration

Integration programmes bringing two organisations together — structures, people and ways of working, not just legal entities.

Culture change and change capability set-up

Culture and behaviour programmes across whole colleague bases, and in-house change capability built from nothing.

Programme mobilisation and recovery

Programmes stood up from scratch — and struggling delivery set-ups turned around, including replacing a failing delivery-partner model with a high-performing in-house team.

Leadership, learning and behavioural programmes

Leadership development, sponsorship capability, CX skills and coping-through-change programmes delivered across whole organisations.

~£60mtransformation portfolio directed — 15 concurrent projects
100%adoption on a 600-colleague contact management rollout
~£2mcumulative benefits realised year on year and counting
+40%colleague engagement one year after a full TOM change

Every case study we share answers four things: the challenge — what needed to change and why; our role — what responsibility NAB took; what we delivered; and the impact — what changed because NAB was there, evidenced through adoption, outcomes, capability built, costs reduced, time saved and benefits realised.

Capability on demand

Proven people, matched to your programme.

Transformation leadership, programme and project delivery, PMO, change management, operating model and organisation design, business architecture and analysis, testing, communications, learning and business readiness — the work determines the team, not the other way around.
