An interview for a Change & Transformation role will likely focus on your process and your experience. Interviewers will want to find out about previous successes and what you did to achieve them, and may ask hypothetical questions about how you would tackle certain tasks.
Educational requirements may be dependent on the company you’re applying for, however, a business-related degree or further studies into information systems or mathematics will stand you in good stead, whilst academic, or professional qualifications in management will also be extremely favourable. That being said, more businesses are open to no academic credentials but an outstanding record in innovation, change and transformation.
"Be able to articulate to an employer what you have done to help drive or adopt change within your role or for your clients. Be very clear about the issue you were faced with, the solution and change you selected and implemented."
— Elliot Sadgrove, Senior Consultant
