C & T Hour: The Skillset of Transformational Change Practitioners

The role of the change practitioner is evolving fast. Today’s complex, people-centred transformations demand more than traditional change tools - they require a broader, deeper, and more adaptive skillset.

In this session, we’ll explore the current and emerging capabilities that transformational change practitioners need to succeed now and into the future. Drawing on research by Caroline Mills and Tracey Penington, we’ll examine how the expectations of the role are shifting and what this means for those working in change, transformation, and delivery roles.

Join Caroline and Tracey as they discuss:

• The core skills required of transformational change practitioners today
• Emerging capabilities shaping the future of the profession
• The balance between technical expertise, leadership, and human skills
• What the research tells us about the skills required
• How practitioners can develop and future-proof their capability set

This session is ideal for change professionals, transformation leads, project practitioners, and anyone looking to strengthen their impact in complex change environments.
