Business transformation demands substantial investment, carries high expectations and places real responsibility on the people leading it.

Global HR Transformation at Scale
18 countries. 40,000 colleagues. One global HR platform. Delivered in 11 months.
A global fresh produce client needed to move from a fragmented international HR landscape, with different technologies, processes and support models across countries - to one global Workday platform.
Chapter Five Consulting provided the client-side transformation leadership and delivery team, bringing structure, clarity and confidence to a highly complex global programme. Working alongside the client leadership and project team, country teams and third-party vendors, we led and supported programme management, governance, data, integrations, testing, cutover and hypercare.
The result was more than a successful technology implementation. The client gained a global people foundation, enabling live people insights, stronger talent management, simpler processes and a more consistent colleague and manager experience.
Complex global transformation. Delivered with confidence.

26,000+ colleagues. 14 markets. One global process. 50% faster.
Client ChallengeOur client needed to replace fragmented, country-by-country compensation planning with one global annual pay review process - while still accommodating different currencies, eligibility rules, legislation, collective agreements and local market practices.
Our ApproachChapter Five Consulting provided the client-side programme, testing and change leadership to turn the ambition into reality.
Working alongside Global Reward, and country teams, we established strong governance, brought real pay planners into testing from the outset, and led the change and readiness activity required to successfully introduce one global Workday-enabled process.
One global process created greater accuracy, consistency and visibility - giving managers more confidence in pay decisions and Global Reward a clearer view of compensation across countries while the cycle was happening.
Faster. More transparent. Repeatable year after year.

50 traders. 4.7 million records. 7 dashboards. Insight available instantly.
A leading fresh produce business wanted to give its traders faster access to the commercial intelligence hidden within years of trading data.
Reports that previously took days or weeks to produce meant traders often relied on spreadsheets, paper reports and individual experience to understand customers, products, suppliers and margins.
Chapter Five Consulting started with the commercial decisions traders needed to make, not the technology.
An initial idea for a bespoke AI solution was challenged and simplified. Using technology the client already owned, we rapidly developed an analytics suite that put live commercial intelligence directly into traders' hands, without additional software licence costs.
Traders can now instantly explore customer buying patterns, product and supplier performance, sales trends and margin, helping identify new sales opportunities, strengthen customer and supplier conversations and make better-informed commercial decisions.
Experience still drives the conversation. Now it has insight sitting alongside it.
