My journey
Ramakrishna Movva (Ramki) Ph.D.
Founder & CEO

All transformations must be intrinsically driven at an organizational or individual level. With my doctoral degree in Transformative Learning and Change and over 30 years of experience leading organizational and leadership transformation initiatives, I have the expertise to support and facilitate my clients' transformation endeavors. I had a chance to reflect on my life purpose in a coaching workshop. I described it using the metaphor of “chrysalis” to symbolize my passion for supporting people to learn, change, and grow. So, when I thought about setting up a consulting firm, Chrysalis became an obvious choice for its name as it symbolizes me and my passion.

Before founding Chrysalis Consulting Solutions, I was the Executive VP & Head of Strategic HR and Organizational Capabilities at Emirates NBD Bank in Dubai, UAE. In this Group-wide role, I conceived and led several strategic HR and organizational change initiatives. INSEAD Business School captured the organizational and HR transformation I facilitated in the bank as a case study. In the early part of my career in India, I worked as an HR consulting lead at Price Waterhouse and performed various HR management roles at Unilever.

Organizational Transformation Solutions

Our consulting solutions transform organizations and leaders, one at a time, to successfully navigate change and become stronger, wiser, and nimbler.

Building a High-Performance Organization

A High-Performance Organization (HPO) achieves financial and non-financial results that are better than those of its peer group over the long haul. In an HPO, the task-based strategic direction and execution and people-based leadership and culture complement each other, just as yin and yang in Chinese philosophy are inseparable despite their apparent differences.

Our HPO model addresses the need to strengthen the four levers, as stated below:

Strategic Orientation
A shared view of an organization’s core ideology (purpose and values), aspiration (vision), and intangible assets (capabilities).
Execution Orientation
A robust framework for executing the strategy to deliver organizational results through teams and individuals.
Inspirational Leadership
Leaders who motivate and engage people with the organization’s agenda and support them in delivering their best performance.
Empowering Culture
A work environment that gives people the freedom to think and act, a safe place to take risks and learn from failures while recognizing and celebrating their successes.
We leverage the power of interdependent and synergistic yin and yang of organizational performance. We support our clients in diagnosing and identifying the areas to strengthen, creating a roadmap for change, and facilitating the change journey.
Developing Leadership Bench Strength

We believe an organization’s continued success depends on its strong bench strength for critical leadership jobs. Therefore, organizations need to put in place the following to build their leadership bench strength:

Success Profiling
Identifying the motivations, styles, competencies, and experiences future leaders must have to shape an organization’s culture and deliver its vision and strategy
Succession Planning
A framework to assess the leadership bench strength available for succession to critical leadership jobs.
Leader Development
Developing and executing contextualized and individualized development plans to enhance leaders’ readiness for succession.
Leadership Pipeline
A program to ensure a continuous supply of leaders for the future by identifying and grooming high-potential talent.
We support our clients in developing the processes, programs, and plans essential for building strong bench strength for leadership succession.
Transforming HR for Organizational Success

HR transformation must be anchored in the business priorities and stakeholder expectations. It must enhance HR’s impact on organizational success. Therefore, a business case for HR transformation must be made with clarity on the expected outcomes and their impact.

Our HR transformation model distinguishes between HR Enablers, HR Functions, and HR Results while highlighting their interconnectedness in the HR value chain.

HR Enablers
HR Enablers are foundational capabilities that support HR effectiveness. They are essential but insufficient to make an impact - examples: HR Strategy, HR Processes, HR Organization, etc.
HR Functions
HR Functions are service delivery capabilities that impact HR effectiveness. They serve the organization and its people while leveraging the HR Enablers - examples: Talent Acquisition, L&D, Performance Management, etc.
HR Results
HR Results are outcomes that reflect HR effectiveness. They indicate the value added through HR service delivery and its impact on the organizational success - examples: Employee Engagement, Employee Productivity, Stakeholder Satisfaction, etc.
We support our clients in making a business case for HR transformation and building the HR capabilities to transform HR and impact organizational success.
