Home / Services

The bigger picture of how your organisation runs.

Systems and workflows that have grown up by accident, projects that need an owner, premises that need sorting, a culture that needs to change, or a leadership team stretched too thin. I step in, take responsibility and see it through.

Sound familiar?

The problems I’m usually called in for.

  • Work is done three different ways depending on who you ask
  • An important project has drifted without anyone owning it
  • Building work, a move or a refurbishment is coming and nobody has time to manage it
  • You’ve grown faster than your structure
  • The culture isn’t what it should be, and everyone knows it
  • Leaders spend their days firefighting rather than leading

What I do

Take one piece or all of it. Every engagement starts with a free consultation.

Project leadership

Planning, running and delivering one-off projects, with clear milestones and regular updates.

Building works and premises

Extensions, renovations and moves, maintenance and health and safety, and contracts for cleaning, security and IT.

Full operational review

A clear report on where you stand, where you should be and a practical plan to get there.

Culture change

Working with leaders and staff to change how things are done, so the improvement lasts.

Leadership support

Working alongside a CEO, head or board as a senior operational partner, part-time or interim.

Systems, workflows and reporting

Mapping how work really flows, removing duplication and bottlenecks, and putting simple systems and reporting in place so things run without chasing.

Examples

Shomrim

Long-established volunteer community charity

A charity doing important work that had grown faster than its structure.

As part-time operations lead I’m setting up fundraising and grant applications, recruitment, communication with members and the structure to support them.

Schools

Independent and faith schools

Schools facing Ofsted and registration inspections, building work, staffing changes and contracts that had never been properly reviewed.

I’ve taken schools through registration and Ofsted inspections, managed extensions and renovations, restructured staff teams, rebuilt finance and fundraising, and renegotiated supplier contracts.

Tell me what’s stuck.

Book a free consultation. We’ll sit down, look at where things stand and talk through where I can make a real difference. No obligation and no sales pitch. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you.
