An objective viewpoint is crucial for large organisations

For large organisations committed to delivering complex and impactful change, a shift in culture is often needed. However, teams charged with supporting heads of functions to enable transformation, tend to have limited capabilities and capacity in-house. Making the perpetual challenge of resourcing and review cycles a barrier to progress.  

Significant shifts in employment trends and employee expectations require businesses to redefine who they are, what they offer to their people and how they engage with their clients. As change consultants people, we bring experience and objectivity to both support you and guide your actions to help you create sustainable change.

CFOs, COOs, CROs

You oversee operations and support teams across the business, but when delivering complex and longer term strategies – capacity and capability gaps often emerge.

What you need is strategic support and change-leadership capability. We can help you implement a strategic change to create a thriving workforce and longer term success.

CPOs and people and culture teams

You’re working flat out to support various teams across the organisation.

But big change is afoot and there are demands on you to revisit and redesign some core HR practices. Sometimes, you just don’t have the internal capacity to give this the focus it needs.

We can work with you to create cohesive and effective solutions that deliver your change agenda and that requested by the leadership team.

What our clients say

"James was a great partner and significant contributor to this key commercial activity. Essential to this was his ability to understand our changing business dynamics and the pressure points these were creating, develop multiple solutions to address those issues and then to work collaboratively with a wide stakeholder group to deliver them in a way that linked to existing people practices."

"In 2022, we were exploring ways to refresh an annually delivered global development program for our junior talent. James proposed a new idea to partner with a third-party organisation he worked with (Excelerate Consulting), which would transform how we deliver the program by piloting a completely new way of learning fundamental skills and capabilities. James project managed the activity and co-delivered key parts of the program with Excelerate. James ensured that the content was fully aligned with all the other major contributors which resulted in a consistent and seamless participant experience. The program was successfully delivered and achieved great results. We received the most positive feedback that we have had for years. It was clear from the energy and connection in the room that the idea, the content, and the delivery all directly hit the mark and resonated with the participants. We had no hesitation in inviting RHR and Excelerate to facilitate the following year. Again, they helped us update the program to reflect changes in our strategy and business and generated enormously positive feedback from the participants for their facilitation skills and business knowledge.”

“We engaged Rutherford HR to help us develop the sales skills of a group of high potential employees in across the globe. Despite the multiple different views on the best approach, RHR was able to navigate our business model, build highly credible relationships with our senior people and design and deliver an excellent program that has created real value for the participants and our people. James was also very deliberate in working with members of my team, building their capability such that they would be able to lead and deliver it in future years.”
