About us
Welcome to i-Realise
We can de-risk your business change or transformation programme.
Established in 1992, we’re an independent change management business that helps senior HR, Finance and Operations executives land their most important change or transformation programmes.
Over the last 25 years we’ve developed and honed an approach called Business Readiness to de-risk your change. It’s a structured way to make sure that the objectives and benefits you want are both clear and fully delivered.

Our approach
To work, change needs to involve the people it will impact the most – so it’s embraced through your organisation. We bring our flexible and practical methodology coupled with highly experienced people who will join your teams to get the work done.
We are well-known for our pragmatic and hands-on approach to solving business problems and delivering successful transformation, especially for companies driven by compliance issues or who have complex, multifaceted environments such as retail, leisure, financial services and supply chain. By sharing transferable skills, our project teams bring together people, systems and processes to facilitate successful change, first time.
Which means you’ll land your change successfully and realise the benefits more quickly.
Our people
Working with i-Realise gives you access to a broad change management knowledge pool. They are all practitioners – who have held multiple operational roles and stood in your shoes. We don’t just ‘consult’ on your proposed change; our people will also join your team to get the work done and embed new skills.
