Being a Jill of all trades is the way to master projects..

Expertise

Over the years I have developed my own individual approach to project management. Its about being hands on and close to your people on the ground, while never losing sight of the big picture.

I’ve worked with exciting new start-ups, growing SME’s and big old school corporates looking for a fresh direction. I know how to introduce and stimulate change. I know how to inspire individuals, small teams and boardrooms to co-operate on projects. I know when to bring in outside help and who is best for the job.  You get me with my black book of trusted specialists who I have worked with over many years.  The more complex and far reaching your project the more I feel I can add value.

An eye for detail, a safe pair of hands and a fresh outlook on any project to support your managers and teams.

Here’s what I can help you deliver…

Culture and engagement strategy. Getting your company communicating the same story

I have worked at board level in many companies helping to define and build long-term internal engagement strategies. That’s the easy part. Connecting colleagues to those business goals and visions is where those plans succeed or fail. I involve colleagues from the very start and encourage them to input their opinions This process can often involve changing your culture right across the organisation. I have experience in building effective engagement programmes so that your people understand your aims and get on board with them.

Colleague insights. Your inside view

The benefit of bringing me in as an outside agent means I get a rare inside view and understanding of your business. Collecting the true opinions and attitudes of your people is the real key to changing your culture or engagement strategy. I have proved myself a great listener, an expert reader of opinions and a good judge of company morale. I work hard to ensure people are properly informed and involved. This goes beyond employee surveys. It’s about working across organisations at every level, getting under the skin of the company, uncovering what makes it tick. And, just as importantly, what doesn’t.

Project Management – a safe pair of hands

It takes significant time and expense to recruit someone full time. I can offer reliable and effective project management in one easy flexible package. I can quickly gauge your project needs and complement your team’s experience to deliver a project quickly and successfully. I’m adaptable enough to work from board level right through to front line colleagues to get the best results out of any project. I can oversee every aspect of the project internally and identify and manage any external resources you may need. I’ve also stepped into plenty of interim roles in my time.

Integrated marketing communications. Get the big picture

Many businesses don’t have access to the extensive integrated marketing resources or a large specialist agency, That’s where my experience of running integrated campaigns comes in. I can support you in developing effective promotional campaigns driven by proven marketing communications strategies. I know how to uncover the DNA of your brand, understanding your various customers and identifying the current trends in your sector is all part of that process.

Communication skills training

Over the years of running internal workshops and culture change projects this is the most overlooked aspect of an organisation. In my experience every company can improve the way it communicates internally. In turn this is how you develop a unique company culture and shared values, otherwise they are just empty adjectives. I run various workshops focused on improving communications within your organisation, whether that’s with your comms teams, senior leaders or middle managers.
