The problem

Why IT transformations fail C-level expectations

Three patterns that repeat across Pharma and Chemical companies — and why the traditional consulting model cannot solve them.

01

You’re paying senior rates for junior execution

The senior partner sells the project. A 26-year-old delivers it. By the time you notice the gap, you’ve paid for both. The result is a polished presentation, not a solved problem.

02

Your IT strategy and business strategy don’t speak the same language

IT runs on its own roadmap. Your business runs on another. When M&A happens or transformation is needed, both sides pull in different directions — and value is lost in the gap.

03

The project ends. The dependency doesn’t.

Most consultants build projects that require more consulting. The engagement never fully closes. Your team is no more capable at the end than it was at the beginning.

Who I am
Leonard Flick
Principal Consultant & Managing Director — Change IT Now GmbH

I spent over two decades leading IT transformations, M&A integrations, and strategic infrastructure programmes inside one of the world’s largest healthcare companies — managing teams of up to 200 people across more than 50 countries.

In 2025, I founded Change IT Now to bring that same senior expertise directly to Pharma, Life Sciences and Chemical companies — without the overhead, the juniors, or the endless engagement cycles that define the Big 4 model.

My background is unusual: I studied Biology and Bioinformatics before spending my career at the intersection of science and technology. I speak the language of your scientific teams, your compliance officers, and your C-suite. That breadth is what makes transformation actually stick.

How I work

End-to-end. Every time.

I don’t hand off to a team. I don’t write reports and disappear. I stay until the work is done, your team is capable, and the project can stand on its own.

01
Diagnose

I map your IT landscape against your business goals. Stakeholder interviews, process analysis, risk identification. In weeks, not months.

02
Plan

A clear roadmap with defined scope, realistic timelines, and honest cost estimates. No scope creep. No open-ended commitments.

03
Execute

I lead the execution personally. Senior judgment at every decision point. Your team works alongside me — not as observers, but as participants.

04
Handover

I leave when your team can run it without me. Full documentation, capability transfer, and a clean close. No dependency. No retainer.

Let’s talk

Are you navigating an IT transformation, M&A integration, sourcing decision, or do you need interim IT leadership?

A 20-minute conversation costs nothing. If there’s no fit, I’ll tell you directly. If there is — we’ll know within the first call.
