Case Studies

Recently I worked with a medium size business to assist with a structural reorganisation. The driver of the change was part of a bigger project around succession planning as the business wanted to ensure it had leadership contingencies in place for its future growth. This change impacted many parts of the business needing a clear strategy.

This project was a true business partnering experience assisting the business achieve the desired outcomes via coaching key individuals with a dual purpose of delivering on the project objectives and in turn building inhouse capability.
