Consultancy
“We know what we want to achieve but something is preventing it from happening and we’re not quite sure what.”
The teamwork may not be quite right or we may be so caught up in an issue we cannot see the solution. Or, operational pressures don’t allow the time necessary to take the step back required to analyse the problem deeply enough.
Our consultancy service typically involves:
- Initial discussions with stakeholders to confirm the current situation, the outcome required and the definition of success.
- Establish what is preventing the required results from being achieved through:
- Prepare a report making recommendations for change
-further discussions with the teams involved
-analysis of previous results
-current processes adopted

Situational projects
Maybe you know what changes are required but don’t have the time to build the expertise required to introduce those changes smoothly and effectively.
Typical scenarios where this solution can work:
- Having members of a technical team adopt a more ‘trading’ or ‘business development’ approach
- Move from a historical ‘command and control’ culture to a more collaborative working environment
- Develop new working practices which will make succession planning work as opposed to it being a ‘tick box’ exercise that isn’t actually used in the recruitment process

Coaching
You may be a leader who is looked up to and respected by their peers and colleagues, but sometimes it is difficult to find the right person to discuss your ideas with in a safe environment, before you ‘go live’ with them. You may want to explore your leadership style and how to make the most of it.
We can offer that safe environment, one where you can explore new ways of working with someone who has an abundance of expertise in the five necessary traits of a top class mentor:
- Listening and questioning, to ensure complete understanding of what the mentee wants to achieve and the surrounding issues
- The ability to challenge in a sensitive, constructive but stretching way
- A variety of experiences to share and learn from a passion for developing others
- The ability to know when to give advice and when to encourage the mentee to find their own solutions

Mentoring
Are you a leader who:
- Has been promoted because of your excellent technical skills and knowledge but found yourself struggling with the leadership skills required
- Is comfortable with the ‘management’ stuff ie delivering the results required by controlling the processes and the people but would like to understand more about how you can develop your ‘leadership’ skills ie how to create a vision that your team will buy in to and WANT to deliver on with less emphasis on the control element
- Is struggling with the demands and requirements of managing a team from the ‘facebook’ generation
