Welcome to the extraordinary post- covid world. Driving a ‘transformation’ of ‘transformation’
2026 Client Brochure
Welcome.
This is our 2026 home page update.
Though there are ‘patterns’ in delivering transformation success (we call them our ‘five rules’, see below) EVERY project is UNIQUE…..
So, we have evolved a tried and tested ‘bespoke’ approach, which has been successfully and independently developed over many years with well over £6M + of project fees earned by our members for well over 50 of our clients, delivering outstanding returns on investment for clients in increased bottom line or reductions of risk.
The logos of some of our clients at board level are below. Each one has a unique story. EVERY ONE delivered a successful hiring with the right ‘fit’ of senior independent board- experienced ‘trusted advisor’ and their projects delivered substantial ‘value add’ with fresh perspectives.
Some of our clients at board level include:
It all starts with ‘questions’
- What are the ‘defined deliverables’ of the transformation? Timings?
- What is the ‘value ‘of those deliverables, when they are delivered?
- What is the RISK of failure?
- What qualities are required of your chosen INDEPENDENT board-experienced transformation leader, to work alongside an accountable leader. i.e This is also the most ‘tax efficient’ route for all parties. These independents are NOT ‘interims‘ ‘under direction’.
- How can I compare costs? Our process is UNIQUE. We have a separate fee, detached from what any candidate will quote after shortlist interview. This allows for ‘comparing and contrasting cost’ allowing for BEST price, which can also encompass LOWEST cost discussions. But what matters most? Lowest cost, but poor or no delivery? Or ‘best cost’, ‘best’ candidate? Every client has to choose on a balance of options and indeed on ‘personal chemistry’.
From these questions emerges a clear AGREED written ‘project brief’ which we here draft and the client ‘signs off’ This then delivers ‘best value’ from subsequent shortlist interviews.
Why not contact our 49 St James’s Street, London office on 020 7830 9663 or e mail our MD David Pinchard on info@transformation-leaders.com for a confidential, free, first discussion? For us to ‘pass on’ our own key experiences in helping our clients to enable successful transformation.
Complex stuff demands careful planning. And though a hiring process can be done significantly faster and at less cost than conventional full time board- post hiring it still demands face to face interviews. We simply do not allow telephone or video screening. We have seen how these methods simply do not ‘work’.

Our ‘ Five Rules’ for delivering transformation success?
We would be delighted to tell you more about our ‘five rules for transformation success’ which we were asked to deliver to a major European Conference on Business Change and Transformation in the City of London in 2024. Rules which have been critical to the success of our many transformation projects in which we have played our own critical part.

One of our amazing very long term top engineering members put it this way… ’transformation-leaders.com consistently delivers ‘knowledge and insight’ month by month as ‘eager and expensive’ is the preserve of others.
And in this ever- changing world the best independent transformation leaders need to be hungry to keep ‘up to speed’ to enable them to be of ‘best help’ to his or her accountable client. To this end we have been reporting at the end of every month since our foundation what we have learned to our members and clients.
PS. The Chairmans’ Itch? Maybe as a Chairman you think your board is missing something important? We have observed that, on occasion, it can be a sensible investment to find the ‘right’, board- experienced, senior INDEPENDENT to carry out a short insightful ‘independent review’ of an organisation’s ‘strategy’. For example.
An expert review on a core ‘digital strategy’ might take a top digital expert 10 days. (5 days to explore, five to write the board review and deliver it). But, with a maximum of 16 days ending with an overall board report can have an excellent effect in spotting savings that can be made, or new revenue opportunities missed. Total cost, including sourcing process might be around £20K. Returns can easily be 5 times the cost. We call this chairmans-itch.com Do take a look.
