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
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.
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.
Christopher Harvey transforms organisational change by focusing on the human element, having successfully guided over 236,000 professionals across global organisations like Tesco, PwC, and GE with his approach that delivers 80% of results through the vital 20% of effort. Book Christopher to equip your team with practical frameworks that turn resistance into engagement and dramatically reduce the typical two-thirds failure rate of change initiatives.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
