Change & Transformation

TRANSFORMING YOUR BUSINESS THROUGH EXCEPTIONAL TALENT

Businesses need to remain agile to meet the challenges of today. At Altum Consulting, we are specialists in connecting businesses with talented Change & Transformation professionals from all over the world that can help meet these challenges.

PROVIDING THE RIGHT CAPABILITIES

We think of Transformation as the ‘what’ and Change as the ‘how’. Transformation could come in the form a restructure or the introduction of a new culture, processes or system. But organisations will only change when their people work, think and behave in different ways – achieved through robust Change Management. Whatever the nature of the change you need to effect, we can find you the right capability.

PARTNERING WITH YOUR BUSINESS

Businesses require specialist skillsets to plan, implement, and deliver your strategic objectives, but often find these skills are missing internally, or there simply isn’t enough bandwidth within the existing workforce. We partner with our clients to help map out their transformation, taking the time to understand the unique requirements of each business and situation, as well as its cultural nuances. Using our expansive network and candidate knowledge, we then identify individuals, or teams of individuals that combine the right experience and skills to deliver.

what they say about us

I have no hesitation in recommending James. During my job search James has been an excellent recruiter to work with. James invests time in getting to know you as a person and understanding what roles you are looking for. He then proactively seeks to find suitable roles and keeps in touch regularly while he does this.

When he finds suitable roles and puts you forward, he provides a first-rate briefing on the company, the people you will meet and the role itself so you are thoroughly prepared for the interview, even meeting up immediately prior to the interview to go through any last minute questions or concerns.

James has a delightful manner and it is always a pleasure to meet him. Anyone asking me for recruitment advice around interim finance roles will be pointed in James’s direction.

Harry placed me in my current role and previously placed me in another role. Harry’s knowledge of the market is impressive, combined with his technical understanding makes him a great consultant to work with.

​​It has been an absolute pleasure working with Callum - Through the recruitment process Callum was full of integrity, really straightforward and always did exactly what he said he'd do - no smoke, no mirrors, just really, really professional. I'd welcome the opportunity to work with Callum again, and would highly recommend him.

Janey was very considerate, and clearly an expert in my field of work. I trusted her to place me in a role that whilst providing me with the challenge I crave, would also respect the balance of being a working mum. Thanks, Janey! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for your next job search.

Jamesina Sainsbury

Director Consulting

"Having been placed into a previous role by the Finance practice at Altum, I knew they were building an enviable reputation for themselves in the Change and Transformation market. We reached out to them to help us on our Finance Transformation journey and the team was meticulous in providing us with the right talent. Their understanding of finance, coupled with their expertise in transformation, allowed them to contribute significantly to our objectives. What sets Altum apart is their commitment to the project’s success. They stayed engaged throughout the process, ensuring each of their placements were achieving the desired results. I will certainly be using them again for the next stage of our programme.”

Global Media Company

Finance Director

“When we initiated our behavioural change transformation programme, we knew that we needed expert guidance and additional support to ensure a successful transition. That's when we reached out to Janey & Georgia at Altum. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of our unique needs. They provided us with highly competent interim staff who were not only skilled in managing change but also had a deep understanding of behavioural dynamics in an organisational setting. Each consultant they placed with us became an integral part of our team, seamlessly aligning with our culture and working towards our transformation goals. They were proficient in utilising change management frameworks, facilitating effective communication, and driving engagement at all levels of our organisation. Their expertise played a crucial role in fostering a culture of openness and flexibility, paving the way for our business to adapt to the new behavioural norms more easily. Despite the inherent challenges of a behavioural change programme, our transition was smooth, and we managed to achieve our goals within the expected timeline. The support and expertise we received from Altum has been excellent. Their services were more than just a recruitment solution; they were a partnership that ensured the success of our transformation journey. We highly recommend the team to any business looking for top-notch interim staffing solutions."

International Not for Profit

Director of Change Management

"The support Harry and the team provided us during our SAP S/4 HANA implementation has been exceptional and pivotal to its success. They have provided several highly skilled professionals who not only possessed the technical know-how but also understood our specific industry challenges we face. We were particularly impressed by his authentic, proactive approach and ability to advise on the talent we would need to deliver at different aspects of the programme. I highly recommend the services of Harry and the wider team at Altum to any organisation embarking on a similar journey."

FTSE 250 Manufacturing business

CIO

"Finding the right executive leadership to manage a complex carve-out programme we were embarking on was proving challenging through our direct channels. We knew we needed an expert, someone capable of understanding the intricacies of an acquisitive business within the technology industry and I was recommended Altum. Both the Shortlist and the final successful candidate they placed with us has been brilliant. As our permanent executive Transformation Director, they demonstrated not only vast industry experience but also a strategic approach to manage and drive the change. Their in-depth knowledge of our business sector, coupled with their proven track record in leading transformation initiatives, cost savings and increasing efficiencies was exactly what we needed at that critical juncture. This wasn't just about managing change, it was about leading a business towards a new operational paradigm. In retrospect, Altum didn't merely provide us with a candidate. They introduced us to a leader who will be crucial in steering the company through a pivotal moment in its history. Their commitment to understanding our needs and providing a tailored solution that perfectly fit our requirements was simply un-paralleled.”

International Technology Business

CEO

“I would highly recommend Altum if you are looking for support on your IBP journey. We had an implementation partner in place but felt we needed some additional expertise in the business that could help design the technical and process elements of the IBP system and then also support us through the implementation. The consultants they delivered were able to challenge our existing partner and integrate seamlessly with our existing team members. Their talent pool across Europe in this space was superb.”

FMCG

VP Supply Chain

“We decided to implement Anaplan in our business and although we had an implementation partner lined up, we knew we needed an experienced Programme Manager on the ground who could help us navigate this complex task. Altum was instrumental in helping us find the perfect fit. From the get-go, they displayed a thorough understanding of our needs, the Anaplan platform, and the dynamics of a successful implementation. Their team worked diligently to identify a Programme Manager who not only had in-depth Anaplan knowledge along with other EPM implementations, but they were also local so they could be on site with ease. I will certainly be using them again.”

Technology Business

COO

“As a Recruitment Lead at PwC, I've had the pleasure of working with Joe and Altum on several recent talent acquisition initiatives across various UK Consulting services. Joe’s professional and responsive approach to our recruitment needs has been commendable - their team understands our requirements, delivering tailored solutions efficiently and have positively contributed to our ability to deliver client work, train and develop our people, and grow as a business.
