Ted Bililies
Partner & Managing Director, Global Leader of Transformative Leadership
New York
In today’s climate of constant disruption, the only way to sustain transformation is to lead it—deliberately and decisively.
From transformation programs to M&A integrations and operating model shifts, success depends on more than just strategy. It demands behavior change, leadership alignment, and cultural buy-in.
That’s where our Change Management team excels. We partner with executive teams early—often before implementation begins—to assess readiness, accelerate decision-making, and build internal alignment. Then we stay with clients through execution, embedding accountability and governance so the change sticks.
Whether it’s driving adoption of AI, optimizing performance across teams, or shifting how leadership shows up, our tailored approach turns insight into sustained, meaningful results.
Sustained value creation requires taking an organization and its leaders through the change lifecycle to drive lasting behavior changes
