“I did not think it was possible for anyone to change my view of the recruitment industry, but I think you might just have done that.”

“What stood out to me about ODA’s approach to change management was that they made it their business to understand the local culture and context of change  in order to design our programme to accommodate the impact of this on the organisation. This was a major contributing factor to the success of the restructuring intervention.”

“During 2015 ODA assisted Securitas SA with a challenging post – merger integration process. The ODA teams’ knowledge, skills and experience in advising on this rather complex process was outstanding and it has been a positive experience working with them.”
