Change management for projects, made practical with AI

Make change land cleanly, without the theatre

eMote is my hub for change management in project delivery. I combine AI-assisted delivery, academic thinking, MBA research and leadership skills so projects move from plan to adoption with less friction, less noise and better outcomes.

Focus areas: adoption, stakeholder alignment, proportionate governance and measurable outcomes.

Momentum and freedom

AI-assisted drafting, analysis, and comms that reduce effort while keeping rigour.

How I make change effortless

Practical delivery, not paperwork.

Start with the real risk: non-adoption
We treat adoption as an outcome, not a hope. Change activity is targeted at the few things that actually block uptake.
Outcome-led
Right-size the change work
Light, medium, heavy approaches. Enough structure to be safe, lean enough to move fast.
Proportionate
Use AI to remove the grind
Drafting, analysis and consistency checks done quickly so humans can focus on decisions, relationships and leadership.
AI-enabled
Make governance useful
Evidence, risks and actions that a board can actually use, without theatre or overload.
Board-ready

Change sizing mini-check

This is not a formal assessment. It is a fast way to decide what level of change activity is worth doing.

You are my change management co-pilot for a project.

Context:
- Organisation: [local authority / company]
- Project: [name]
- What is changing: [system, process, policy]
- Who is affected: [roles, teams, external users]
- Go-live date: [date]
- Constraints: [time, budget, governance]

Tasks:
1) Produce a short Change Impact summary (people, process, technology, ways of working)
2) Identify the top 8 adoption risks and write mitigation actions that fit normal project artefacts (RAID, comms, training, service readiness)
3) Suggest a proportionate change approach (light, medium or heavy) and explain why
4) Draft a board-ready update in plain language with decisions needed and next actions

Style:
- Use headings, bullet points and avoid fluff.
If you want, I can tailor this to your PMO templates, governance rhythm and reporting style.
