IT Change & Transformation Team – Case Study

An IT Change & Transformation Team is vital for any successful technology change project. In this case study we take a look at a global automotive organisation with no UK IT presence who contacted Kind’s Change & Transformation recruitment specialist looking to substantially expand their Global Project division with a UK team.

The Situation

After the business reached out to us, our specialist took weekly conference calls with the Global Project team to discuss their plans for the UK branch of the business. On these calls they dug in to all of the relevant role profiles in detail and examined past successes and barriers the client had faced in establishing new national teams. They needed a Head of IT, a Solution Architect, a Data Architect and 2 Business Analysts to create the new division in Britain. Working together, we developed a 3 month recruitment plan to embed the full team, starting with the Head of IT.

Our Solution

Using their extensive pre-existing network and knowledge of the best Change & Transformation and IT Project professionals in the UK, our specialist handled all aspects of the recruitment process.  They confidentially approached Heads of IT working at comparable and competing businesses, identifying those who were open to a new challenge and selecting the very best of these to put forward to the client.

The firm interviewed 3 of these, and selected one to make an offer to, which was immediately accepted. With the Head Of in place, they were then able to work closely with our specialist as they filled all of the remaining 4 roles. The whole project was completed within the agreed timeframe and Kind’s work was highly commended by the client. The team were extremely effective, smoothly integrating the new UK division into the wider business and global operations
