I'm offering
If you are looking for someone enthusiastic, open-minded and experienced to help you create strategy for, plan and deliver your business change/transformation programme, then look no more!
Whether it's change that impacts the whole organisation or just a business area, I can deliver across all areas of business (strategy, technology, structure and process, people), through all steps of the change process whilst supporting individuals, teams and senior executives in navigating the changing environment.
Agile adoptions and transformations are my personal favourites and if your aim is to transform your company into a truly agile organisation that is an epitome of an agile mind set, values, leadership and practices, then I can guide and help your organisation to:
- excel in adopting to the unexpected and become more responsive to change
- become more focused on delivery of value to customers, shareholders and employees
- achieve faster ROI
- become more lean, efficient and productive
- ensure all parts of it are equally engaged, accountable and collaborative
- have servant leaders who bread servant leaders
- better manage changing priorities
- ensure the teams build the right products (=value) and build them right (quality)
- gain more visibility and transparency across board
- improve focus and communication
- keep learning and continuously improving
A few facts about me:
- I care. As simple as this may seem, these two words describe me best.
- I deliver. Making an impact and adding value is extremely important to me.
- My forte: translating vision into reality.
- My mantra: think big, keep things simple and move fast.
- I am a true champion of collaboration - I strongly believe in empowering others to become their best, in and outside of work environment.
- I love: learning, solving problems, making a difference and... colour (designing couture fashion makeup gives me the kick!).
So don't hold off and get in touch!
