My Focus Areas
These are areas I work in. They are not fixed packages. Please reach out for your specific challenge.
People Strategy
People strategy work is about creating alignment between where your business is going and how your organisation leads, develops, and supports its people to get there. It covers the full range: from defining strategic direction and values to translating them into frameworks and priorities that people can actually work with.
-
Your business direction has shifted and your people strategy has not kept up
Leadership has changed and there is an opportunity to reset the direction and narrative
You have a people strategy on paper but it lacks clarity, buy-in, or practical relevance
You need to define or refresh your organisational values, guiding principles, or people narrative
You want a compelling and credible people story for your leadership, your workforce, and external stakeholders
-
Assessing the current people strategy against business priorities and organisational reality
Engaging stakeholders to build understanding and alignment through interviews, surveys, and facilitated workshops
Developing or realigning the people strategy, values, guiding principles, and people narrative
Translating strategic direction into behavioural frameworks and development journeys
Defining KPIs and an implementation roadmap for bringing the strategy to life
The Impact
A clear and aligned people strategy that creates consistency across your organisation, strengthens leadership alignment, and translates business priorities into meaningful people practices, behaviours, and experiences.
Organisation Design
Organisation design is about ensuring the structure, operating model, and governance of your organisation are fit for where it is going. When these are well designed, roles are clear, decisions get made at the right level, and your organisation can execute without unnecessary friction.
-
Your organisation is evolving but its structure and operating model have not kept pace
Roles, responsibilities, and decision-making are unclear or inconsistent in your organisation
You are going through a broader transformation and need your organisational design to support it
You want to assess your current organisation and define a clear, credible target state
You need a job architecture or role framework that creates consistency across your organisation and supports integrated talent management
-
Assessing your current organisation, governance, roles, and ways of working
Defining your target operating model including structure, governance, processes, and decision-making
Designing job architectures and role frameworks that create clarity across your functions and levels
Developing a roadmap and implementation plan with clear priorities and milestones
Supporting stakeholder alignment and change management throughout your transition
The Impact
Your organisation structured for where it is going. Clear roles, coherent governance, and operating models that reduce friction and enable performance, with a shared understanding across your leadership of how your organisation is designed to work and why.
Organisational Development
Organisation development is about building what your organisation needs to perform over time: the capabilities, processes, and conditions that allow your people to contribute effectively and grow. This spans capability building, learning strategy, talent and performance processes, and change, with the shared goal of making your organisation more effective and more resilient.
-
Your organisation needs to build new capabilities but it is unclear which ones to prioritise or how to develop them at scale
Your learning and development function operates reactively rather than as a strategic partner to your business
Your talent and performance processes are fragmented, outdated, or disconnected from your business priorities
You are going through a transformation and need to build the internal capabilities to sustain it
You need a clearer framework for how your organisation develops its people and measures the impact
-
Assessing current capabilities, processes, and operating models against your strategic needs
Defining what a strategic, business-aligned approach to capability building looks like for your organisation
Developing prioritised strategies, roadmaps, and KPIs linked to your business outcomes
Designing operating models, governance, and processes that make development sustainable and scalable in your context
Building capability frameworks, talent processes, and development journeys that connect to your business strategy
Supporting change processes and building internal capability so your organisation can continue to develop independently
The Impact
Your organisation builds and sustains the capabilities it needs, when it needs them. People processes that work in practice. And a clearer, more coherent picture of how your investment in people contributes to your organisational performance.
