Case Study

Strengthening HR Governance and Change Management for an Intergovernmental Organization

An intergovernmental organization engaged us to strengthen its human resources governance and support a large-scale transition to a consultative HR operating model. The engagement focused on two critical priorities: developing an integrated framework to monitor HR authority delegations and implementing a change management strategy to facilitate organizational transformation.

Project Highlights

Client: Intergovernmental Organization 
Scope: HR authority monitoring framework and organizational change management program
Focus Areas: Change Management, HR Process Improvement, Stakeholder Engagement, Framework Development
Results: Established a structured monitoring framework and equipped leaders with the tools and skills to guide staff through a major HR transformation

Challenge

The organization needed a partner with deep expertise in both process improvement and organizational change. The goal was to ensure that HR authority delegations could be effectively tracked, monitored, and reported—while also equipping staff to adapt to new ways of working. The scale of change required both technical structure and human-centered transition support.

Key challenges included:

  • Lack of an integrated framework to monitor HR delegations and performance

  • Need for a comprehensive change management strategy to guide transition

  • Resistance to adopting a new consultative HR model

  • Limited internal capacity to plan and lead large-scale organizational change

Solution

We provided hands-on consulting support that combined structured framework development with practical change management guidance. Our approach emphasized engagement, transparency, and sustainability—ensuring that both leadership and staff were aligned and supported throughout the transition.

Our work included reviewing and advising on the HR monitoring framework, facilitating change management planning sessions, developing communication materials, and conducting interactive workshops designed to build understanding and ownership among staff. Every component was customized to fit the organization’s governance structure, culture, and operating model.

Key actions included:

  • Reviewed and advised on the HR authority monitoring framework design

  • Developed a change management strategy aligned with the new HR model

  • Designed communication and engagement plans to support staff transition

  • Facilitated interactive workshops to build awareness and ownership

  • Provided tailored coaching and tools for the internal change management team

Results

The engagement gave the organization a solid foundation for monitoring HR performance and managing ongoing change. Staff gained clarity on new roles and expectations, while leadership was equipped to communicate and reinforce the change effectively. The practical, hands-on approach ensured lasting adoption and a smoother transition to the new consultative HR model.

Key results included:

  • Established an integrated HR authority monitoring framework

  • Strengthened internal capacity for managing change initiatives

  • Improved communication and engagement across staff groups

  • Enabled smoother transition to a consultative HR operating model

  • Embedded sustainable practices for ongoing governance and improvement

Through this partnership, the organization achieved greater transparency, stronger staff engagement, and a durable foundation for continuous improvement in HR governance and change delivery.
