Change Champions

We are huge advocates for Change Champions on projects!

We know that change doesn’t happen in isolation. The most successful projects aren’t just implemented—they’re adopted well alongside a core group of advocates. That’s where Change Champions come in.

As a Change Leader, our role isn’t just about delivering a project—it’s about building a network of advocates who bring change to life from within the existing teams. Change Champions aren’t just messengers; they’re trusted voices who help their teams navigate the transition, ask the real questions, and support their peers through the ups and downs of change.

We love Change Champions because: 
1. They understand their teams. Champions know what their colleagues need and can translate messages in a way that makes more sense to their team.
2. Communication is more effective. Instead of relying on a hierarchical flow, information is shared through networks, meaning people hear what they need sooner and in the right forums.
3. They create momentum. Change moves faster and sticks better when people hear about it from someone they trust.
4. They grow as leaders and collaboration. Change Champion networks are an opportunity to develop leadership skills, build influence, and expand collaboration between teams.
5. They make change feel relevant. Instead of change feeling ‘top-down,’ Champions make it personal, practical, and relevant.

When you empower a community of Champions, you create a buzz not just a mandate. And that’s when change truly sticks.
