Sammanfattning

Avanade hjälper organisationer att ta fram det fulla värdet av digitala transformationer genom att samordna människor, strategi, teknik och AI. Som ledande part inom Microsofts ekosystem kombinerar vi djup branschkunskap, stark konsultförmåga och ett människocentrerat förändringsarbete för att hjälpa våra kunder att uppnå mätbara affärsresultat, inte bara framgångsrika implementationer.

Organisational Change Management (OCM) på Avanade verkar i skärningspunkten mellan affärsstrategi, transformation av verksamhetsmodeller och AI. Vi hjälper våra kunder att förankra förändring som möjliggör prestation, användning och långsiktigt värdeskapande i en allt mer AI-driven organisation.

Om rollen 

Vi växer vår OCM Advisory Practice i Sverige och söker erfarna förändrings- och transformationskonsulter som kombinerar starka konsultfärdigheter med djup förändringskompetens och som är motiverade att arbeta i framkant av AI-driven transformation.

Denna roll går bortom traditionell förändringsledning. Vi söker dig som kan:

• Sätta förändring i ett sammanhang av affärsstrategi, verksamhetsmodell, marknad och AI-ambition.

• Driva dialoger och vana att kommunicera med seniora ledare kring hur AI förändrar arbete, beslutsfattande, kompetenser och värdeskapande.

• Stärka Avanades position gentemot kunder och säljteam genom att positionera OCM som en strategisk möjliggörare för AI-adoption och affärsresultat.

Du kommer att hjälpa kunder att navigera komplexa transformationer där AI, data och intelligenta plattformar omformar hur organisationer arbetar, samtidigt som du säkerställer våra kunders beredskap inför kritiska milstolpar i projekten, som inför go-live.

• Leda och leverera förändring inom AI-drivna transformationer, och koppla initiativ till strategi, verksamhetsmodell, affärs-KPI:er och marknadspositionering

• Designa och genomföra förändringsstrategier som stödjer AI-adoption, inklusive påverkan på roller, beslutsfattande, arbetssätt och ledarskapsbeteenden

• Rådgiva seniora intressenter kring organisatorisk beredskap för AI, inklusive kompetenser, kultur, tillit, styrning och ansvarsfull användning

• Arbeta nära strategi-, teknik-, data- och AI-team för att leverera integrerade transformationsinitiativ

• Tillämpa konsultdiscipliner såsom problemstrukturering, affärsanalys och insiktsdriven kommunikation för att hantera komplexa förändringsutmaningar kopplade till AI

• Översätta AI-koncept till tydliga och affärsrelevanta budskap som når både ledning och verksamhet

• Bidra till kunddialog och pre-sales genom att positionera OCM som avgörande för att realisera värdet av AI – inte bara som stöd vid implementation

• Samarbeta med sälj- och kundteam för att utveckla erbjudanden som kopplar samman AI, förändring hos människor och affärsresultat

• Coacha och utveckla juniora konsulter samt bygga AI-medveten förändringskompetens i den svenska organisationen
