Consolidated Timber Holdings Builds the People Capability Its Strategy Demanded
THE CHALLENGE
OUTCOMES
"We were bereft of a people plan and had an HR department that wasn't able to service the needs of the evolving organisation. We were too small to incorporate all of the HR specialisms needed to move the agenda forward, but too large to just have one or two individuals who could realistically cover all elements of HR."
Ballast embedded a full fractional people function inside Consolidated Timber Holdings, providing CPO leadership and specialist execution across six areas. Over twelve months, CTH moved from a people function that could not carry the commercial agenda to one that is actively shaping it.
