Partnered Consulting.
We place a change expert to partner with your organisation across the full arc of a change initiative. From initiation through to close, we co-design strategy, guide execution and hold progress so your change lands with lasting adoption.
Most organisational change either launches into chaos or slowly loses its breath. Teams get overloaded, communications fray and leadership clarity dissolves at the moments when it matters most.
Our partnered approach removes that pattern by embedding an experienced practitioner who turns strategy into steady, human-centred progress.
We'll do it for you.
What's included?
- End-to-end engagement across your initiative, tailored to your timeline and risk profile.
- An embedded change consultant working alongside your leadership and internal teams (on-site, remote or mix) for the duration of the program.
- Leadership coaching and weekly or fortnightly working sessions to keep decision-making clear and execution consistent.
- Co-facilitated workshops and practical playbooks that translate strategy into day-to-day behaviours.
- Measurement and feedback rhythms: pulse checks, adoption metrics and a simple reporting cadence so you can see what's working and where to adapt.
- A bespoke change handbook for your initiative: role guides, conversation scripts, manager prompts and a sustainment plan.
You'll walk away with...
- Clear decision rights and visible leader confidence across the initiative.
- Faster, measurable adoption and fewer costly rework loops.
- A shared language and simple routines leaders can use to maintain progress.
- Internal capability that reduces future reliance on external support and builds resilience.
- FUN! Believe it or not, we make change fun (wherever possible).
Who is this best suited for?
#
Our partnered consulting is ideal for organisations facing strategic transformations, multi-team rollouts or any change where continuity, risk mitigation and sustained adoption matter.
We work best with:
- Businesses with 50-500 employees that need an integrated approach to change.
- Executive teams that want to protect productivity while change is underway.
- HR/OD leaders seeking a partner to translate strategy into lived practice.
- People leaders / managers and internal change leads who need coaching and tools to lead their teams through transition.
What's covered across the engagement?
#
Initiation: Align sponsors, clarify the Why and set success measures so the initiative begins with sharp intent and visible governance.
Discovery: Rapid stakeholder mapping, impact analysis and a communications audit that shows where the real risks and opportunities sit.
Implementation: Co-created rollout plans, manager enablement, co-facilitation of key sessions and ongoing coaching to keep the work live and learning iterative.
Close & Sustain: Handover materials, capability transfer, celebration of wins and a sustainment plan that keeps adoption visible and improving.
Will this build lasting internal capability?
#
Yes, absolutely! Our aim is to leave your organisation stronger, more confident and capable of leading the next change without needing the same level of external support. We structure every engagement so knowledge, tools and rhythms are transferred into your organisation as standard practice.
Are you a Prosci certified practitioner?
#
Our lead consultant, Jaimi Acres, is a Prosci certified change practitioner and is able to deliver your change following Prosci methodology, if that is your preference.
However, Acres Dynamics has developed its own proven framework – SHIFT – grounded in behavioural science and shaped through years of practical application.
SHIFT is built around how people actually experience and respond to change, making it both results driven and sustainable.
Many of our clients choose SHIFT because it combines structure with flexibility and consistently delivers adoption that lasts.
