Change advisor 

UMC Utrecht will undergo an intensive and large-scale transformation in the coming years. The organization is working on several strategic tasks in parallel, including a new organizational design, ERP implementation, UMC-wide renovation and construction, and strategic personnel planning. These changes require not only technical and organizational decisions, but above all a strengthening of change capacity, leadership, team development, and communication skills.  

We are implementing the change in a manner that corresponds with how we want to work in the new organization (from A to B, in the manner of B). The new management philosophy of UMC Utrecht, together with the resulting leadership principles and behaviors, form the new basis for the transformation approach. The Change Workstream plays a central role in this. The Change Workstream guides the organization in developing, applying, and living the new organizational model and management philosophy. It supports leadership, team development, and behavioral change through coaching, training, mirroring, and direct, involved change guidance. Change consultants, communication consultants, and leadership consultants work closely together in this workstream.  

We are looking for two change consultants who can strengthen our change workflow.
