Nine Feet Tall joins international consultancy group Talan
Change management consultancy Nine Feet Tall has joined Talan Group. Becoming part of the international consultancy headquartered in France, Nine Feet Tall will be able to reach a wider client base, and support digital transformations with large companies.
Alex Goody, managing director of Talan Consulting UK, said, “I’m delighted that Nine Feet Tall is joining Talan. The team brings energy and a wealth of expertise in business transformation which will accelerate our UK capabilities in programme and change management consultancy. Talan’s model is highly entrepreneurial offering synergies and growth potential, including opening exciting international opportunities in the areas we seek to make a difference.”
Talan is an international consulting group committed to transformation through innovation and technology. Present across five continents, 18 countries, and more than 5000 employees – 500 of which are in the UK – the group has spent the last two decades supporting the technological changes of large groups, such as AI, data intelligence, Web3, blockchain or IoT with leading global companies as clients.
Adding Nine Feet Tall to that proposition will yield a combined ambition to drive digital transformation, according to a release from Talan. It added that Nine Feet Tall’s service proposition is “a perfect complement to the capabilities already offered by Talan in the UK.”
There are no changes to Nine Feet Tall’s team, structure or offices as part of the deal, with the firm remaining as an independent entity under the umbrella of Talan UK. The move will see founder and CEO of Nine Feet Tall, Esther McMorris, take on an additional role on the Talan UK Committee Board.
Headquartered in Bath and with offices in London and Manchester, Nine Feet Tall specialises in delivering complex change, aligning the power of people and technology. The company specialises in retail and consumer goods, housing, construction, manufacturing, legal and financial services, along with the third sector.
CEO Esther McMorris added, “I’m thrilled Nine Feet Tall will be joining the Talan family. This opportunity provides the perfect strategic and cultural fit, and by combining forces we can deliver real value for our clients. Talan saw the strength in our brand, our approach, and our expertise and we have joined the group to benefit from their support and build on our growth potential. We know that any business transformation requires careful planning and effective change management to ensure change is fully embraced, and we are therefore delighted to incorporate this expertise into Talan’s UK capability.”
