Demand for change management professionals is on the rise in Yorkshire

We’re delighted to welcome Dale Cawley who will be heading up our change management and transformation team in Yorkshire.

We’re looking forward to Dale developing and growing out our change division in Yorkshire.

Dale’s update on the change management & transformation market in Yorkshire

Demand for change management professionals and consultants is continuing to rise. There’s been a notable increase in the number of permanent positions available as larger organisations attempt to reduce spend on contract employees and external consultancies. The consultancy space has been buoyant, with firms looking to develop niche areas and skill sets to give them a competitive edge. This trend is being driven by the need to develop new service lines and bolster existing offerings against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and a changing regulatory landscape.

The requirement for change management professionals remains steady across industry. Struggling industries have been looking for change professionals to help them improve processes, control costs and make efficiencies, while industries on the up have been looking to recruit internal or interim expertise to help them develop their back office infrastructure and gear up for growth.

Business transformation consultants are in demand, as well as finance systems analysts and managers. Consultants with five to ten years’ consultancy or business change and transformation experience are particularly sought after.
