Credibility. External consultants bring broad change management expertise; internal change managers bring deep knowledge of how the business actually works. Together, they offer far greater credibility with stakeholders at every level.

Objectivity. External consultants can challenge assumptions and introduce new ideas, while internal change managers provide a grounded sense of organisational reality - what's possible, and what isn't.

Buy-in. People tend to resist when they feel change is happening to them, rather than with them. And this applies to leaders just as much as it does to employees. The hybrid approach of involving internal change management alongside external consultants goes a long way to solving this problem.

Leadership. When external consultants and internal leaders make it clear to employees that they share ownership of the change process, it not only encourages active engagement at the time, it also delivers stronger long-term outcomes.

Cost. By sharing responsibility for the change management process, and shortening the time it takes as a consequence, the cost of hiring a specialist external change manager can be greatly reduced. But it’s not just about saving money. The hybrid approach is almost certain to lead to far greater return on investment.

Sustainability. While an external expert can kickstart  transformations, internal teams

ensure the changes stick in the long run. The hybrid partnership makes for richer knowledge transfer, and leaves the organisation stronger and more self-sufficient when the work is done.
