Scaling Change Maturity and Adoption at NEOM
The Situation
NEOM was undergoing a large-scale transformation spanning 11 business units, each at a different level of change maturity. There was no consistent framework or shared methodology for managing transformation, leading to fragmented execution and slow adoption.
The Task
To design and implement an enterprise-level Change Management Framework that unified approach, accelerated adoption, and built internal capability in managing change across business functions.
The Action / Approach
Developed a four-tier change maturity model, defining standards, tools, and adoption metrics.
Collaborated with global consulting partners and internal change leaders to co-design playbooks and measurable adoption roadmaps.
Designed learning pathways and toolkits for change practitioners and leadership onboarding.
Embedded data-driven adoption dashboards and a structured Goal Cascade system to align business and people objectives.
The Result
Reduced onboarding and alignment time by 78% within six months.
Improved leadership engagement and alignment scores by over 60%.
Established a centralized Change Management Playbook, now used across multiple NEOM sectors.
