Head of Business Change - Fife
Head of Business Change Jobs
All successful businesses embrace change as an essential part of the growth process. Sometimes it can be difficult to achieve, with resistance from within and without, but when it’s done well the benefits will be felt by the company for years, or decades, to come. But change needs to be managed, and that is where the head of business change plays such a vital role. He or she oversees the process from identifying weaknesses in the business model right through to monitoring the effects of any changes that have been applied.
The head of business change has widely varying roles depending on the size and nature of the business. In smaller companies, he or she may have a directorial role and may oversee a handful of employees or managers as change is implemented. In a larger company, the head of business change could be making cultural or systemic changes that are worth millions and affect thousands of employees, making it a hugely influential and important position.
The skills required
The best heads of business change have experience in project management and delivery. Even if the job does not require those skills directly, it’s likely that you will be working closely with project managers to ensure change takes place at a manageable rate, and an insight into how they work is invaluable. You are going to need excellent communication skills as you will often be receiving information from the board and delivering the message right the way down the hierarchy in a manner that suits them so that they can best understand and implement the changes required.
You need to be able to analyse and project cause and effect based on the best possible information so that the changes you are proposing or implementing can be measured and their success can be assessed. Experience within the sector occupied by the company seeking a head of business change is advantageous, as every industry has its own way of working and you should also be better placed to identify trends that add up to the necessity for change.

Head of Business Change Jobs in Fife
Fife is a local government area and traditional county on the east of Scotland. It is bordered on its north, east and south by water, the Firth of Tay, the North Sea and the Forth of Forth respectively. Its administrative headquarters is in Glenrothes, a town of 40,000 population in the centre of the county area, located roughly equidistantly from Dunfermline, Dundee and Perth.
Fife is home to navy and civil docks at Rosyth, and has ferry services to mainland Europe from its port. The county is fully connected to the rest of Scotland by rail and the M90 and A985. Edinburgh Airport is closer to the southern tip of Fife, North Queensferry, than it is to Edinburgh itself. The iconic rail and road bridges both cross the Firth of Forth between Fife and the City of Edinburgh. This profile of Fife does make it a good prospect for anyone seeking Head of Business Change work.
