Consulting is about having influence without control. You know best what your challenges are. I increase your capacity to find and implement your own solutions. This is my consulting style.
As a qualified consultant in organisational development, establishing a relationship with you is as important as defining what the assignment is.
I worked as an internal consultant in the public sector in a previous role and really understand what that means in practice. As an external consultant I recognise and understand from an outside perspective organisational culture, values and how people do things.
My consulting philosophy
- Relationships are key
- Collaboration builds trust and gets better results for everyone
- External perspective plus internal expertise is a powerful combination
- Consulting at its best is about action and interaction, relationships and results.
“In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.”
I focus on helping you to connect what your organisation’s outcomes and performance requirements are to the development experiences and resources needed.
My expertise is in bespoke assignments with public sector projects, as well as charities and social enterprises, collectively known as VCSE.
My thoughts on Consulting
How I can work with you
Hothousing is cool.
I bring in fresh ideas and creative thinking to combine with yours. It’s good to co-design. Hot housing values diversity and involving everyone in the organisation eco-system. It nurtures ideas and gives them time to grow strong.
On demand is not instant.
I hit the ground running, work at pace, flex and adapt. I am here to add value, not add to a pile of instant fixes.
In the thick of it.
Organisational learning and development teams are not on the side lines. They are partners and collaborators in a wider eco system that includes line managers and leaders. It includes curators, technical and media experts, digital specialists, content designers. And skilled learning facilitators of virtual experiences. It includes learners. It includes me.
