Operating since 2015, (Next Level Group) NLBPi is a change management consultancy; focused on maturity uplift, performance improvement, scaling and growth. Helping client organisations and businesses to improve maturity across disciplines, ways of working, maturity uplift, governance, risk, scalability, organisational maturity, leadership capability, and AI-enabled business performance via change management consulting, coaching, systems implementation, and practical change and transformation programs.

NLBPi provides the following leadership support to ensure successful adoption, alignment, and sustained results.

1. Executive Sponsorship & Strategic Alignment Support

Business owners, CEOs, Managing Directors

  • Delivery of Change Support: Support executive leaders to articulate strategic objectives and directly map the changes to the BPI stages.
  • Sponsorship Role Definition: Define clear responsibilities for executive sponsors during each BPI stage
  • Governance Cadence Setup: Establish monthly “BPI Steering Committee” meetings where executives review actions across change initiatives with NLBPi providing guidance.

2. Change Leadership & Cultural Support

Transformation leads, HR leaders, C-suite (especially COOs)

  • Change Network Activation: Train internal “BPI Champions” to communicate progress, gather feedback, and model new workflows supported by workshop sessions.
  • Coaching: Provide group or one‑on‑one coaching for transformation leads on overcoming institutional resistance.
  • Cultural Maturity Assessment: Offer a diagnostic tool to measure an organisation’s readiness for each stage.

3. Operational Leadership Enablement

Operations managers, department heads, team leads

  • Process Ownership Training: Equip middle managers with skills to own the “strict utility vetting” (Stage 3) – i.e., how to say no to low‑impact changes and advocate for genuine bottlenecks.
  • Daily Management System (DMS) Design: Co‑design tiered huddles (daily, weekly) that use automated scorecards from Stage 4 to track capacity, error rates, and cycle times. NLBPi provides standardised templates and facilitation for the first 90 days.
  • Low‑Code & Agentic AI Upskilling: Hands‑on workshops for operations leaders to identify which repetitive, high‑volume tasks in their area can be automated via the integrations built in Stage 2, ensuring they retain control over exception handling.

4. Data‑Driven Leadership Support

CIOs, CDOs, analytics leads, finance directors

  • KPI Governance Framework: Help leadership define the benchmarks that link operational metrics directly to agreed KPIs.
  • Data Integrity Stewardship: Provide a playbook for assigning data ownership who validates definition of done for a change, who monitors automated workflow exceptions, alongside quarterly progress audits.
  • Macro‑Impacts Reviews: How to interpret results (cash flow, margin, capacity) and convert them into leadership actions, such as re‑allocating freed‑up staff to utilise capacity from improvements.

5. Continuous Improvement Leadership Cadence

All leadership levels, with emphasis on long‑term scalability

  • Iterative Prioritisation Forums: Monthly “Beyond Performance” sessions where leaders from different functions determine the next 3‑5 improvement items using utility and value criteria.
  • Leadership Retrospectives: Structured reviews that go beyond project metrics to evaluate leadership and team behavioural changes and new ways of working.
  • Succession & Capability Transfer: A “train‑the‑trainer” module for senior leaders, ensuring that the internal leadership team can independently run the five‑stage loop into the future for new improvement opportunities.

NLBPi’s leadership support is not a generic “change management” add‑on; it is a structured, stage‑gated enablement system that mirrors our BPI methodology. Each offering equips specific leaders with the tools, governance, and behavioural models needed to sustain improvements long after the consulting engagement ends.
