ML299: Brendon Baker (Founder & Dir. of Valuable Change Co.)

Brendon Baker is the author of the best-seller Valuable Change and has consulted on $10B+ transformational change projects across a wide range of industries and organizational sizes. He is the Founder and Managing Director of Valuable Change Co, a management agency that helps leaders keep transformation simple and ensure it pays off. Their clients include high-growth tech firms, well-known Australian household names like AGL and South32, and all three levels of the Australian Government.

For many organizations, change often involves long meetings, lots of reports, confusion about the goals, and worry about how long it will take and cost.

These complexities make 85% of change initiatives in companies worthless.

Brendon has 12+ years experience in change management and believes the profession has over-complicated change management approaches. He has taken it upon himself to simplify it and in doing so help change leaders drive real value. He is also the author of the #1 new book release across multiple categories, Creating High-Value PMOs, which outlines the key reasons project managers keep failing and how they can break out of this administrative death cycle.
