Supporting the Public Sector through complex stakeholder and delivery challenges.
From Government departments to Local Authorities and Arms Length Bodies, public sector bodies face numerous challenges when implementing or responding to change. These can include resistance from staff, resource scarcity, and a complex regulatory environment. Our change management experts will empower you to address these issues head on, delivering comprehensive support throughout the process, from planning and communication to training and evaluation, keeping stakeholders engaged and on board with the changes, and equipping your organisation with the resources and capabilities needed to implement changes successfully.

How Does Change Management Help?
The change management process helps to minimise disruption to stakeholders, improve buy- in from employees, and ensure business continuity. By embracing a proactive and innovative approach to change management, organisations can become more agile, resilient, and responsive to the evolving needs of the marketplace and their customers.
Change management facilitates the smooth transition from the current state to the desired outcome, with a structured approach to managing changes in people, processes, and technologies to achieve your business objectives effectively. Specialist change management support is essential in a highly regulated and controlled environment, in which any changes can have wide-ranging effects on customers, employees, and stakeholders alike.

At Fiserv Inc I had the pleasure to work with a number of the CBS team as we developed and deployed Agiliti - the SaaS banking platform which was used by banks like Tandem Bank.
The team took the lead on a number of key areas of the programme. For example: design, risk, payments, infrastructure, procurement and PMO.
The CBS colleagues displayed a number of common and critical attributes: industry knowledge, subject matter expertise, teamwork, communication and work ethic. But the attribute which best reflects the CBS individual, team and business is integrity.
It’s been great working with CBS over many years. They’ve supported our JLP Payment strategy and provided us with insight and expertise along every step of our journey.
