In a world where disruption is the norm, the Change Wisdom Circle offers something rare: the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with others leading change.

Hosted by Allison Ness in partnership with The Good Company Fiji

The Change Circle is a quarterly in-person forum for bold, honest conversations about what it really takes to lead change.

It’s not a workshop and it’s not a panel.

Expect a high-trust circle designed for bold insights, honest conversations, and connection with others doing the real work of change.

Executives, Senior leader, Change practitioners and Decision-makers to explore what it really takes to lead change and transformation today.

Why Come Along ?

Get beneath the buzzwords - and into the friction.

Engage with others shaping change in real time.

Be part of something fresh - a space for depth, not just noise.

Walk away with insight you can apply straight away

Meet your Hosts

Facilitated by Change Leadership expert Allison Ness, and brought to life in partnership with Renita Reddy of The Good Company Fiji, this quarterly in-person forum brings together senior leaders, change practitioners, and business decision makers to explore the real human and operational challenges of leading change - beyond the theory and outside the project room.

Beyond the event, we’re cultivating a community of leaders shaping real change.

Allison Ness currently hosts a monthly online community where she facilitates thought-provoking discussions on the realities of leading change. Each session creates space for open, honest dialogue on the challenges, patterns, and possibilities facing today’s leaders—offering a rare opportunity for connection, reflection, and shared learning among change practitioners. Think of it as a meaningful podcast—only this time, your voice is part of the conversation.

Interested in working with Allison?

Change doesn’t fail because of poor strategy. It fails because leaders don’t have the bandwidth to lead it.

I work with senior executives in medium to large organisations across New Zealand and Australia to solve one of the most overlooked barriers to successful change: leadership capacity.

Change is no longer a one-off event - it’s constant, complex, and business critical. Yet most organisations still treat it as a series of disconnected projects.

The result? Leaders are stretched too thin, juggling strategic delivery, BAU operations, and team management - and performance takes a hit with:
📉 Financial waste - fragmented change efforts increase complexity and inefficiency.
⚠️ High execution risk - transformation stalls due to misalignment and lack of bandwidth.
🔥Leadership burnout - overwhelmed teams disengage, reducing productivity, driving hidden costs.

I help leaders bridge the gap between strategy and execution by integrating change leadership into daily operations - cutting through complexity, aligning fragmented efforts, reducing cost leakage, and delivering measurable results without burnout or constant external dependency.

What I Do: Turn change into a competitive advantage:


🧬 Change Blueprint - a system-level solution to align strategy with operations and embed a fit-for-purpose Enterprise Change operating model, enabling scale
🧭 Change Leadership Consulting - practical, behaviour-focused tools to build internal capability, reducing execution risk:
🧩 Change Code - see the full change landscape and anticipate cumulative impacts early
🤝 Fusion Factor - strengthen team alignment, collaboration and decision-making
🧠 Leadership Lab - equip leaders to lead human-first through disruption with confidence, resilience, and credibility
🎯 Strategic Change Advisory - partnering with boards, CEOs, and senior leaders to bring practical support, strategic challenge, and systems insight to complex change leadership decisions

The result?
✔ Change initiatives delivered faster, with less disruption, cost overruns and cumulative impacts.
✔ Leadership teams that are aligned, resilient, and ready for future disruption.
✔ A repeatable change leadership model that reduces execution risk and strengthens business performance.

If you’re a senior executive, transformation lead, or business leader navigating high-impact change, let’s connect. I’d love to explore how we can integrate leadership capacity into your daily operations to drive change in a practical, leader led way for long term success.
