Question - what are good roles to transition into for change management consultants? I don’t think I’m built for consulting for my whole career, but it looks like inhouse OCM also is rough?

If you’re wanting to still do the same “change” work, that often leads to an HR path if you’re going into industry, or internal consulting. But if you think a bit more broadly, you’re probably a good project manager, executive coach, perhaps good at sales, there are lots of things you can pivot into.

Industry OCM roles are harder to come by because people stay and you can be promoted within. If I were to go back to industry I would look for companies wanting to build out a new OCM function or a company with a well established and bigger change department.

In-house OCM has their own challenges. Some better if you have executives that support what you do however if they are not and they don't take your recommendations then if things fail they will look to blame you for it. At least with consulting at the end of the contract you walk away. Depends what you prefer.

OE or transformation roles within an IT org. Otherwise, it’s a little scarce. Can look at the L&D field as well.

If I ever transitioned out of consulting, I’d look at Tranformation roles with IT or Digital areas.

Curious as well. Just left to be internal from consulting and not enjoying it as much.

What aren’t you enjoying? I started doing internal and then left for consulting and in house is so much easier

A lot of industry change roles are imbedded into HR but you’ll definitely want to highlight your PM skills

I don’t think in-house OCM is rough. I did it for 5 years and think it’s so much easier than consulting. I think there’s a lot of good strategy / ops roles in tech that would be easy to pivot into. Look for operations, chief of staff orgs, bizops, and transformation roles
