Working With Organisations
Facilitating Communication
Often where there is conflict or stress and people have become entrenched in their positions. As an impartial third party I am able to steer a path through highly charged situations.
Example
I helped shareholders break a deadlock in their negotiations and reach agreement on terms for the sale of their company – something which had seemed impossible to them, beforehand.
Problem Solving
Where traditional ways of doing things are not achieving the desired outcome and the organisation is open to exploring why that is.
Example
I helped a government agency solve a costly recruitment problem (too many applications, high turnover) by identifying the false promises unintentionally offered in their promotional material and redesigning their approach.
Strategic Thinking
Where new ideas are needed for intransigent problems and where whole systems may need to change.
Examples
I participated in a business forum to explore solutions to the increasing problem of absenteeism at work. I have also been involved in creating new approaches to dealing with youth crime.
