It’s a real challenge finding a recruitment organisation that truly understands change management and transformation. The Allegra team has this skillset covered and are able to consistently source skilled candidates. I have worked with the Allegra team for more than eight years and they remain my number one preferred recruitment agency for exceptional change and transformation specialists

Aligning the right capability and approach with business goals and the culture of the organisation is critical for successful change outcomes. Allegra has specialist understanding and knows how to make it a win-win outcome for the client and the consultant.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Seath and Allegra over many years, as both a candidate and a client. Seath is a complete pro and we’ve developed a strong, honest and respectful relationship. She knows the change management market extremely well, and as a candidate, I always know that she’ll work tirelessly to find roles that suit my skills and experience. When I’m looking for a role, she’s the first person I call. The same applies when I’ve been looking for people to join my team. Seath ensures she thoroughly understands the skills and capabilities I need, and she always presents me with quality candidates who match my requirements. I highly recommend Seath and Allegra.

We have been utilising Allegra payroll services since November 2022. The service is outstanding, and I have no hesitation in recommending them. The process is fast and efficient, with integrated software and processes used to minimise time wasted for candidates and expedite the process for BHP. Approving timesheets and expenses is simple and fast, and the reporting is everything a manager needs to monitor costs easily.

Once set up, the Allegra team is proactive in its management and engagement, ensuring customer service is at a premium level. 

Regardless of which organisation I am working with, Allegra will always be my first choice to manage contractor payrolling.

Change concept

I’ve worked alongside a multitude of consultancies over the last decade… from the outset Allegra’s approach was authentic, honest and straight to the point. (Allegra has a ) genuine understanding of the industry and what happens in the change management arena.

- Big Four Bank Client, Consulting services

In 2022, I came across Allegra Consulting, and I haven't stopped engaging with them. Over the past year, I have participated in Allegra's change workshops, breakfasts and webinars. The opportunity to continue to expand my knowledge has been greatly complemented by the incredible expertise that Caro and Tracey bring and share at these sessions. Additionally, I am truly grateful for the consulting relationship I have developed with Seath, Sonia and Gordon - all experts in their recruitment field - they always go that extra mile. Thank you, Allegra Consulting, for opening up your arms and welcoming me.

- Lisa Stock, Change Practitioner

Allegra was recently engaged to support a piece of work that had faced considerable resourcing challenges and was on the critical path.

Allegra’s approach was always calm, pragmatic and fit for purpose. The team shared their thinking and reasoning for their approach and kept me well informed of progress. The team ensured to align and meet the internal governance requirements and provided me with visibility of all change materials. I was taken by the work they did to provide internal coaching and support to business SMEs, building capability and confidence in change.

As a result of their work, the piece of work has gone live and successfully transitioned to BAU, setting our BAU teams up for success.

- University Client, Change Management Consulting Services

Safety Environment and Regulation (the main division Allegra looked after), received the most impressive program results from the highest percentage of people who completed the program, to being delivered ahead of time and within budget.
Most importantly, outstanding feedback was received, and the way the program was delivered started many important conversations about how we want to treat people and be treated in the workplace.
We sincerely want to thank you for your professionalism, flexibility, expertise, and a sustained focus on delivering quality sessions for our people.

Thank you so much for the ChangeFit Fast session today! The interactivity was great, and it was everything you described. It was very interesting, and you were both so passionate - it was hard not to be enthused and engaged!

- ANZ Employee, Finance Department

I really enjoyed the Change Impact Assessment Workshop, found it very engaging and learnt a lot. It was a great combination of the technical/tools aspects, the case studies and all your advice and insights into the less tangible aspects like tips to engage leadership.

Looking forward to catching up again at your next Change Management breakfasts.

- Workshop Participant, Change Practitioner

The Change Impact Assessment Workshop was a wonderfully informative session, and I got a lot out of it . Thank you for such relevant and infectious interactions. 

- Workshop Participant, Change Practitioner

I enjoyed my day doing all the change impact assessment conversations and learning from you and the group. It could have been a 2-day program there was just so much to explore and unpack! You have so much great knowledge, and I really loved the Change Impact Assessment Workshop.

- Workshop Participant, Change Practitioner

I would highly recommend the Transformation Specialist 3-Day Course, delivered by Allegra for both Change and Project Practitioners. The passion and wealth of knowledge of Tracey, who facilitated the course, enabled you to identify how to lift your change strategy to an enterprise approach. 

- Course Participant, Change Practitioner

The Transformation Specialist Course was better than I anticipated. It sets itself apart from other change management courses by encouraging mature discussion with participants, fantastic real-life learning examples from the facilitator and it looks at how important change specialist roles are to any organisation. 

Tracey was a vibrant facilitator with vast change knowledge, she adapted the 3 days for all participants and checked back in to ensure what we each wanted out of the course was all covered. Receiving access to The Change Space is just another way Allegra really understands the industry and what is needed to support change specialists. 

Thank you for reinvigorating my love of change and sharing so many amazing learnings and insights with the group. I will definitely be back for future courses. 

- Course Participant, Change Practitioner

I wouldn’t be where I am today without Caro and Tracey's thought leadership and amazing skill set. If I was in Melbourne, I would be attending. Don’t miss out. It will be a great learning experience.

- Linda Robinson, Senior Change and Learning Lead

I highly recommend learning from the best, and with Caroline and Tracey, you cannot get much better than this. I've spent a lot of time facilitating alongside Caroline and seeing Tracey in action.

- Neal Lynch, Program Professional

Thanks for the Change Impact Assessment workshop today. It went above and beyond and really helped me increase my knowledge and skills around change.

- Jenny Dyson, Change Practitioner

There's an expression, "If you want to be the best, learn from the best". Caroline and Tracey are the best, and I highly recommend their courses to all the Change Managers (and Project Managers) in my network.

- Neil Cater, Senior Project Manager

So much fun!  Really practical and hands-on.  I think everyone should be learning these skills. Thanks team.

- Lori Tamaki, Change Practitioner

This workshop gives you so many invaluable tools that are super helpful! Great place to connect with like-minded change practitioners. A workshop worth investing time in!

- Neetika Gulati, Change Consultant

I just wanted to let you know how valuable your presentation was this morning. I was really wondering, as I got out of bed at 5:15 this morning to get there on time, if it was going to be worth it. It was totally was! Thank you so much and I hope you will be presenting more in the near future.

- Che Broekman, CM Practitioner

You were engaging, informative, and fun, and you imparted a lot of really great information and experience. The audience was thoroughly engaged and was taking lots of notes. I also heard lots of very positive comments afterwards and the desire for our ongoing change leadership support and education is high. We can’t thank you enough for the session with our senior leaders.

- Large, Sydney Based Financial Institution

I actually wanted to take this moment to thank you for these past two engagements and let you know how much I’ve enjoyed being part of the Allegra community. I’ve been represented by a few different agencies now and can confidently say your team are streets ahead in everything you do. There has always been someone ready to spring into action after a simple phone call. From contractor care, to networking events and personal growth, your outstanding reputation in the Melbourne Change Management community is rightly deserved.

- Adam Dale, CM Consultant

We run regular leadership sessions, and yours was one of, if not the best, we have had. People have been talking about your session all day! It was a valuable and interactive two hours with all our leaders and will be instrumental in taking the idea that people leadership = change leadership forward.

- Large, Victorian Government Agency

Thanks so much for sharing the slides and for the super presentation yesterday – I found it incredibly valuable and very relevant to where I’m at on the project I’m working on! Looking forward to the next one.

- Kate Napier, CM practitioner

This is just a short note to say a BIG THANK YOU for ALL your effort to make yesterday’s Change Management experience happen. The session with Caroline was nothing short of OUTSTANDING! There was so much to take away and apply with conscious enthusiasm. Thanks once again, and have a great day.
 

- Workshop Participant, Insurance Company

PowerPlus for Women is a fabulous program for those wanting to dig deeper and understand themselves and others better. Caro and Tracey were absolutely brilliant in facilitating this highly engaging and interactive course, always listening carefully, encouraging, providing super entertaining anecdotes along the way and holding a safe space for us to be vulnerable. I walked away with practical knowledge to be applied across every relationship. Loved it and highly recommend, thank you!

- Libby Pearce, Course Participant

As someone with Change Management experience, I still managed to learn so much by formally completing this course. The facilitators generously shared their experiences, and their delivery styles really kept the content interesting, leaving me wanting more. I walked away armed with some fresh new tips and tools that I can apply now. Thanks Tracey and Caro!

- Workshop Participant, Change Practitioner

Thank you again for the Change Impact Assessment Workshop. It was fantastic, very clear and concise and importantly provided me the opportunity to hear real-life experiences and the opportunity to put theory into practice. 

- Workshop Participant, Change Practitioner

Thank you Caro, Tracey and Allegra. I felt privileged to be able to join the Change Impact Assessment Workshop. I enjoyed the format and the opportunity to do the breakout sessions. Congrats on a great course, your knowledge and experience shines!
