ABOUT ISABELLA BRUSATI
The Person Behind
the Methodology.
CHANGE STRATEGY ARCHITECT & EXECUTIVE COACH · 20 YEARS · 12 COUNTRIES · ONE INTEGRATED MODEL.
I have spent 20 years inside large-scale organisational transformations across EMEA.
Not advising from the outside — inside the room where the real conversations happen. I know what a sponsor who is not sponsoring looks like. I know what a leadership team performing alignment looks like. And I know how to name it, work it, and turn it around.
My work sits at the intersection of two things most practitioners do separately: the programme and the leadership carrying it. I bring both together. That is not a positioning statement. It is what I actually do.
I work with a small number of clients at any one time. This is intentional. You get my full attention, my honest read, and my integrated model — not a junior team with a framework.
CREDENTIALS
EMCC Senior Practitioner
Prosci Certified
LCP 360 Certified
EMCC Italy Board Member
THE WORK
Transformation is not a technology problem.
Large-Scale ERP & Digital Transformation
SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, Workday, and major digital programmes. My flagship credential is a 12-country SAP S/4HANA rollout with 92% adoption. That number came from the people, not the platform.
Organisational Restructuring & M&A
Mergers, acquisitions, integrations, and restructurings across EMEA. The human layer of structural change — where most programmes lose the value they were designed to create.
Leadership & Executive Coaching
Six-month coaching engagements for the leaders carrying transformations. Transformation Directors, CHROs, and senior leaders who need clarity, not comfort. EMCC Senior Practitioner accredited.
HOW I THINK
Why I Work This Way.
Transformation fails at the human layer. Always. The technology is rarely the problem. The people carrying it — the sponsors, the leaders, the organisation — almost always are.
Most programmes bring in OCM as a workstream. I bring it in as a strategy. There is a difference. One produces a communications plan. The other produces adoption.
The private reality of a leadership team is usually the most important thing nobody is talking about. I talk about it.
