Consultancy

Business Consultancy has a poor reputation.

Nothing to do with me, I hasten to add! It's just that some people have had a bad experience with a consultant or agency. They perhaps have paid a lot of money and got little in return.

You'd expect me to tell you I'm different, wouldn't you? So, I will.

I'm different.

The first way I'm different is that I say 'No thank you' to more consultancy projects than I say, 'Yes please!'

I won't work with you unless I think I can make a substantial impact on your business or organisation. Here's how I do that...

Step 1: A Work Culture Audit

Once we've agreed we're a good fit for each other, then I'm all ears. The first step in our consultancy relationship is a Workplace Culture Audit.

During the audit phase, I will ask you lots of questions. I try to get under the skin of your organisation. Working closely with the senior management team, my goal is to understand who you are as a group of people.

Some of this analysis will be face-to-face and at your location(s), or online. Typical projects include assessing your recruitment practices, leadership style, and levels of employee engagement and motivation.

Essentially, we work out WHO you are, WHAT you are looking to achieve. We can then work together to identify opportunities where the application of psychological principles can make an immediate improvement.

What you get...

At the end of the auditing phase, you will have:

• Clarity on where you and your people are in terms of work culture 
• Where your gaps and weaknesses are
• Quick wins and opportunities for rapid gains
• An assessment of your team's skills and training needs
• A comprehensive report and presentation of findings

We both might say, 'enough is enough' and we go our separate ways. There would be no obligation on your part.

You will be equipped to seize the opportunities of change on your own.

Or, if it made sense, we could continue to work together.

Step 2: A Strategic Roadmap

Once we have a cultural snapshot of your organisation, the value I add is to combine my knowledge of behavioural science to your business challenges.

Working together, we can then develop your strategic Change Management Action Plan.

Typically, this plan will include:

• Situation Analysis - where you are now , gaps and opportunities
• Objectives - stretching targets combined with SMART steps
• Strategy - how you will achieve your Objectives
• Tactics - the practical and realistic changes you can make 
• Actions - your daily, weekly and monthly activities
• Controls - using data and analytics to improve and hit your targets

 What tangible outputs do you get with a Business Psychology Strategy?
​

1. Comprehensive written report (varies between 12 - 40 pages)
2. Full presentation - face-to-face and/or via MS Teams/Zoom/Google Meet
3. Detailed 12-month Action Plan
4. Supporting Resources  - guides, templates, instructional videos etc

What's Next?

As with the Culture Audit (above) you may decide to continue on your own. Again, there is no obligation on your part.

Or, as your team implement your Change Plan, you may wish to support them with ongoing coaching and support  (see below)...

Step 3. Coaching and Mentoring

Once your Culture Change Management Plan is complete, your team might benefit from the coaching and mentoring services I provide.

This support is tailored to each person or team but usually consists of weekly and monthly:

1. Calls (via MS Teams, Skype or Google Meet or Zoom)
2. Emails
3. Individual and team actions and targets

The benefit of a business psychology coaching programme is that team members are fully supported to implement the Plan. The support encourages creative thinking and keeps people on track. 

Your team can ask questions and seek help at any time. The weekly/monthly coaching calls are a mixture of Q&A and brainstorming sessions and help people work through any challenges they are having with the Change Management Plan.
