Role

This role blends strategic OD design, rigorous change management, and hands‑on implementation. You will diagnose organizational issues, design tailored interventions, build the governance and workstreams to execute them, and guide leaders through the “messy middle” of transformation.

• Create, structure, and manage workstreams that drive OD and change initiatives from concept through execution, ensuring clear ownership, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
• Build project governance models, including roles, responsibilities, decision rights, and escalation paths.
• Develop transformation roadmaps that integrate people, process, and performance levers.
• Partner with EFESO practice leaders to align OD strategies with broader operational excellence programs.

Implementation & Leading Through the “Messy Middle”

• Facilitate high‑stakes workshops with executive teams to build alignment, secure buy‑in, and clarify vision.
• Anticipate and mitigate resistance by applying behavioral insights and change‑readiness diagnostics.
• Coach client‑side managers and leaders to sustain improvements long after the engagement ends.
• Lead culture‑building interventions, team effectiveness sessions, and leadership development experiences.
• Support EFESO’s internal learning curriculum, onboarding programs, and capability academies.
• Establish baseline metrics and define KPIs to measure the success of OD and change initiatives.
• Track progress, analyze data, and adjust interventions in real time based on feedback loops.
• Conduct post‑implementation reviews to assess adoption, capability uplift, and business impact.
• Use insights from engagement surveys, performance trends, and organizational diagnostics to recommend improvements.
• Support succession planning, workforce planning, and organizational effectiveness initiatives.

Learning Operations, Workstreams & Program Management

• Manage the end‑to‑end execution of learning and development programs, including scheduling, communications, materials, and evaluation.
• Design frameworks, standards, and improvement roadmaps aligned with EFESO methodologies.
• Continuously refine content and delivery methods based on participant feedback and business needs.
• Create, structure, and manage workstreams that drive OD initiatives from concept through execution, ensuring clear ownership, milestones, and measurable outcomes.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders on organizational health, team dynamics, and change readiness.
• Work closely with global HR, practice leaders, and regional managing directors to align OD initiatives with business priorities.
• Partner with EFESO’s knowledge and methodology teams to embed learning into daily consulting practice.
