Change Management

I help government leaders make change work.

I bring a pragmatic, collaborative approach grounded in decades of public service experience and backed by my training in change management (Prosci) and business coaching (ACC-ICF).

What I offer

I support public service leaders and teams with:

  • Change strategies and communications plans tailored to your reality
  • Workforce and workplace renewal aligned to hybrid work and resource limits
  • Governance, planning and internal processes that work in small and large teams
  • Engagement strategies to bring your managers and employees along
  • Advice to executives on what to prioritize, how to lead change, and how to get unstuck

My work is collaborative. I listen, simplify and, most of all, help you deliver on your decisions.

Some clients hire me for 2 or 3 days to lead a team event or produce specific materials. Others engage me for longer projects — 15, 35, or even 135 days — to help steer a complex change or act as a fractional resource.

“Our federal agency hired François to provide strategic and change management advice on the planning and roll-out of our revised Hybrid Work model.  François’s extensive executive management experience, and his superior communications and change management skills were invaluable in assisting our organization to implement this workplace change in a smooth and caring way. ” – 2025

“Francois was an invaluable resource for our young organization. He helped us lay a strong foundation in numerous areas. Whatever the project, Francois’s advice was thoughtful, well-researched, and clearly articulated. I hope we can bring him back again soon.” – 2024
