Strategic Change Advisory

Isabella Brusati & Associates

Strategic Change Advisory

Your transformation needs more than a successful implementation.

Organisations invest heavily in technology, operating models and strategic change.

Yet programme progress does not automatically translate into business readiness, employee adoption or sustained operational performance.

I provide independent strategic change advice to senior leaders responsible for complex enterprise transformation.

My focus is on the leadership decisions and organisational conditions that determine whether change takes hold.

Choosing the right support for your organisation

Change Leadership Coaching is my primary service, available to individual leaders and organisations commissioning coaching for their leaders. It focuses on leadership judgement, behaviour and choices.

Strategic Change Advisory is a separate service for organisational diagnosis and recommendations. The distinction is the work you need, rather than whether you are enquiring as an individual or an organisation.

Areas of advisory support

Executive sponsorship

Clarifying sponsor responsibilities, leadership decisions and visible accountability for change.

Leadership alignment

Identifying conflicting priorities and strengthening alignment around the decisions needed to support transformation.

Manager mobilisation

Helping leaders understand what managers need to support new ways of working.

Organisational readiness

Assessing whether the business is prepared to operate effectively through and beyond implementation.

Stakeholder dynamics and resistance

Understanding the causes of resistance rather than treating all resistance as a communication problem.

Adoption and sustainability

Examining whether new processes, behaviours and responsibilities are becoming embedded in operational practice.

Transformation environments

My experience includes:

  • SAP S/4HANA and enterprise ERP transformation
  • Digital and AI adoption
  • Operating-model and organisational redesign
  • Post-merger integration
  • International and cross-functional transformation programmes

Experience in complex transformation

My experience includes leading organisational change for a 12-country SAP S/4HANA rollout involving more than 2,000 users. It provides a practical context for examining how executive decisions translate into readiness across different markets.

My background in international transformation and change management informs the questions I ask about sponsorship, local implementation constraints and the evidence leaders use to judge adoption.

How I work

I provide independent judgement, targeted diagnosis and practical advice.

I work with executive sponsors, transformation leaders and programme teams to identify the organisational barriers affecting results and determine appropriate interventions.

The scope of each advisory engagement is agreed according to the organisation's needs.

Advisory is distinct from confidential executive coaching. Where both are required, objectives, responsibilities and confidentiality boundaries must be clearly established.
