About Transformation Design Management

Transformation Design Management (TDM) architect the blueprint and overall structure of what needs to change based on the strategic outcome and direction set out, and design how the transformation will be delivered and experienced by all stakeholders. We do this by turning strategic intent into actionable, funded change. We translate strategy into measurable outcomes and credible plans, designing target operating models that align goals and KPIs with processes, roles, technology, data, and controls. We build investor grade business cases and budgets, covering strategic rationale, investment appraisal, and funding models. We establish and mobilise the Transformation Management Office (TMO) with governance to steer decisions. We lead transformation programmes end‑to‑end, managing risks, decisions, and benefits realisation.
