Craig Gilham

Delivery Director

statement

“Do or do not. There is no try”

Yoda

I am passionate about helping customers deliver transformational change and seeing the difference it makes, not only for the company, but also to their day-to-day lives. In any role, my motivation is to deliver change, drive operational excellence and ensure efficiencies are achieved through good process and well-implemented technology.   It is for this very reason I have joined Partners in Change. It’s a real privilege to be surrounded by a warm and friendly team who all wish to deliver great outcomes together with our customers.

More recently I have supported organisations shape new strategies, deliver organisational redesign programmes, including outsourcing, and lead on digital, technology and cultural transformation programmes. I get my buzz out of helping companies evolve their ecosystems (Strategies, People, Product, Technology and Cultural transformations) to be both more efficient and effective in creating truly sustainable and evolving businesses.

My ultimate goal, with any business, is to ‘make change happen’ and I have the energy, expertise and drive to achieve this. I also like to bring personality and a sense of fun to my work and have found this to be the best way to get the most out of any challenge.

Make better AI & Automation decisions

Organisations know that they risk being left behind if they fail to embrace AI and automation. But decisions are difficult to make and far-reaching in impact. In a marketplace dominated by hype and obfuscation, identifying the best path forward is challenging. Factor in the bewildering pace of AI innovation and it can be tempting to […]

Customer transformation: Seven crucial success factors – Richard McKenzie-Small

Across three decades of my involvement in customer projects, I have developed some reliable rules-of-thumb for what is likely to succeed, what is going to be harder than it needs to be and what is doomed to fail. Frustratingly, hundreds, if not thousands of important marketing, sales, service, field service and other digital initiatives kick-off […]

Successful Transformation – 10 Key Questions.

The pace, potential benefits and disruptive nature of technological change means that organisations must always be open to transformation if they are to compete with challengers and the rapidly changing expectations of their customers. But every transformation eats time, human resources and money and not every transformation succeeds. So what steps can you take ahead […]

Target Operating Model: Are you set up to succeed?

As those who know me well know, my secret workplace passion is about helping organisations design operating models that drive efficiency, delight customers and empower people. There are many dimensions to consider when designing a target operating model. One crucial ingredient is a positive ‘cultural’ intent i.e.  a situation where everyone involved wants the organisation […]

Leading change in the age of the algorithm.

In the early 2000s I remember watching the original ‘Shift Happens’ video with hundreds of colleagues at an annual conference. It dominated the evening’s conversations – it gave everyone a new perspective on the speed at which change was coming down the line. Even now, in 2024, it is eye-opening. Much of what is featured […]

The Metaverse: A PiC Digital Point of View.

Is the metaverse emerging as the next big thing? Like ‘big data ‘in the 90s, CX in the noughties and ‘digital transformation’ in the last decade, senior leaders everywhere are already being swamped by a heady mixture of speculation, propaganda and wishful thinking. Here’s a two-minute read covering what you need to know right now.  […]

Ten key questions to help drive digital transformation success.

Despite what technology providers tell you, new technology in any organisation is rarely plug and play.

Can AI help improve your business operations and decision-making?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming one of the most transformative technologies of our time, with the potential to revolutionise industries and improve our daily lives in countless ways. The world of AI is constantly evolving, with new breakthroughs and innovations happening all the time.  Most recently we’ve all been witness to Chat GPT and […]

Don’t just think Agile, think Agility. Why agility is what your business really needs.

The agile framework is often portrayed as a panacea to cure every organisation’s change challenges. It clearly has its place and has worked wonders for some, yet we see ‘agility’ as a far more valuable capability within which the agile framework may, or may not, play a part. Embracing agility is a key business trend, […]

Digital transformation: Technology and data alone are never the answer.

Digital is often thought of as being synonymous with technology and data, and it is true that these are important aspects of the digital landscape. However, digital is about much more than just tech and data. In fact, if any digital transformation is to be truly successful it must encompass and orchestrate change across a […]

Why legacy systems needn’t hold back your digital transformation.

What is an organisation’s ‘Change Capability’?

There are many factors which contribute towards an organisation’s ability to change. Whatever factors are relevant to your organisation, trying to improve your ability to land sustainable change from within starts by establishing clarity for your specific organisation (now and in the foreseeable future) on what will contribute towards your ability to make successful change [...]

Time to enhance your organisation’s change capability?

Enhancing your organisation’s change capability can sound like a rather theoretical exercise, taking away focus and effort from day to day change delivery. This can be especially true in the situation where the pressures to deliver are high, everyone is heads down focused on this, and finding the time to look up and at the […]

Key questions every Transformation Director must ask.

Transformation and complex change programmes are usually high stakes activities that eat up time, money and human resources.
