Over the last five years, the London-based financial services consultancy company, Albany Beck, has established itself firmly within the Irish financial services market. In choosing Dublin as its European hub in 2018, it has guaranteed the successful expansion of the company and spearheaded transformations for their clients. In this article, Dublin-born Adam Kelly, Managing Partner for Albany Beck, and Ian Thomas, the Practice Head for the company’s Change Management & Data Migration programmes, announce Albany Beck’s imminent launch of Change Management Solutions in Ireland. They outline the fundamental factors that ensure their unlimited capacity to manage change effectively for their clients. Ian Thomas - Practice Head for Change Management Solutions Adam Kelly - Managing Partner Kelly recognises that providing effective Change Management Solutions within financial services is a vital part of ensuring the successful growth of a company, and that it involves complex and comprehensive migration and transformation programmes. With many years of specialist experience in directing the implementation of complex and strategic business and technology transformations and migrations across Europe and Asia, Thomas said: “It’s our tried and tested execution and delivery of change management on a global scale, with such good rigour and control, that’s Albany Beck’s unique selling point.” One example of this was the multi-year $145m programme to merge two large financial firms from a technology and process perspective. “This involved complex integrations of the chief operating officer functions and all IT aspects of the combined organisations.” Thomas adds that developing a comprehensive and thorough common governance framework to manage the day-to-day delivery of the programme has achieved £10m of benefits to date. This governance framework has been adopted across further projects as ‘best practice’.-1.jpg?width=1080&name=IMG-20241010-WA0002%20(1)-1.jpg)
