Christopher Harvey's biography

At a glance

  • Leading corporate change at the human level
  • Delivering high-impact change in global organisations
  • Expert in people-centric change management
Christopher Harvey inspires organisations to reimagine change management through a human‑centred lens. He champions the belief that successful transformation isn’t about rigid plans or endless governance, but about cultivating the right environment for people to embrace change. With over twenty years of experience at global companies such as Tesco, PwC, Mercer, and General Electric, he has led high-impact programs across multiple continents. Christopher’s approach combines deep cultural insight, creative problem solving and strategic clarity. He has designed award‑winning change teams and shaped the capabilities of over 236,000 professionals across 150 countries. Described as pioneering in marketing change as if it were a branded product, he is the first contributor to write for GQ magazine on change management and recently co‑authored the 2nd edition of the APMG Effective Change Manager’s Handbook. His story is rooted in a passion for simplicity and practical results. Recognising early in his career that two‑thirds of change efforts fail, he focused on the critical 20 per cent that delivers lasting value. That clarity led to a simple three‑step methodology that cuts through complexity and drives sustainable adoption. Christopher holds an APMG Change Management certification and has been recognised through industry awards. He is regularly invited to speak and write for leading outlets and professional bodies. Christopher's audiences gain practical frameworks for simplifying change management, techniques for marketing change as a product to increase adoption, and strategies for building organisational resilience during transitions. Christopher's presentations provide actionable methods to reduce the typical two-thirds failure rate of change initiatives. Book Christopher to demystify change management and transform your organisation's approach from complicated processes to human-centred success.

Topics, sessions and talks

Change in the Workplace
Christopher Harvey explores how large‑scale change can often flounder not because of strategy but because of lack of human focus. He demystifies the discipline by showing how to build foundations for a change‑agile culture. Through engaging narrative and practical insight, he addresses common blockers, illustrates techniques for behavioural adoption and communicates why people‑first approaches drive lasting transformation. Delegates will gain actionable tools and clarity on aligning leadership, culture and structure for effective change.
Change Charter Workshop
Christopher Harvey leads participants through a collaborative session that tackles the challenge of embedding change readiness. He guides attendees in co‑creating a Change Charter that defines behaviours essential for an organisation ready to evolve. With lively facilitation and real‑life examples, he helps uncover hidden barriers and align stakeholder commitment. Attendees leave with a tangible Change Charter, clarity on behavioural expectations, and renewed momentum to cultivate a resilient, people‑centred change culture.
