Damian Magee

Advises organizations on maximizing value realization by managing the people-side of change during transformation and improvement programs. Conducts change impact and readiness assessments (interviews, surveys, data analysis), designs adoption strategy and enablement materials (workshops, e-learning, job aids using adult learning principles), facilitates communication and training to mitigate resistance, and defines evaluation metrics to measure adoption, behavior change, and ROI of OCM activities. Also provides strategic change consultation and manages change/enablement projects from start to finish to align with timelines, budgets, and adoption targets.

Owned and implemented a global digital adoption, cultural change, and engagement framework for 10,000+ colleagues, improving productivity through people-process alignment and role clarity. Led and mentored an adoption specialist team, delivering a blended adoption approach (resistance management sessions, remote coaching, and self-paced learning via LMS/LXP) and achieving strong internal CSAT. Proactively identified obstacles to adoption, developed targeted interventions to minimize performance dips, and built internal capability through change agent / train-the-trainer programs to sustain improvement.

Led strategic change and learning initiatives across multiple service lines including Gemini Enterprise, Asset & Tax, Internal Finance, Funds, HRP, Capital Markets, and Funds. Performed process impact analysis and redesign to inform user impact assessments, partnered with local operations and IT to bridge technical delivery and user adoption, and integrated change management activities into all project plans. Managed communication governance across channels (e.g., Yammer, MS Teams, media, online training), identified readiness gaps, engaged stakeholders, and monitored adoption through feedback loops to refine the change strategy.
