Project Management, Business Operations, Data Management

Project Management

Problem: You know the project needs doing, but not who can lead it internally.

Problem: You know the business is facing a specific dilemma but aren't sure how to start tackling it.

Problem: The project is in progress, but one of your staff needs to step away for six months...

I can come in at any stage of a project, from identification and initiation to helping see something through full implementation and completion. And my focus will stay on the project so that you can focus on the rest of your business.

Business Operations

Problem: COVID means that your organisation keeps shifting between WFH and F2F, and the processes aren't keeping up.

Problem: You know 'business process integration' is a thing, but you're worried it will cost you more money than it'll save…

I will help you think! Business operations are specific and unique to every organisation – I like teasing out what makes your organisation unique and then working with you to design the right solution just for you.

Data management

Problem: You’ve been so busy growing your business that actual information management has not been a priority for you so far.

Problem: Nobody designed your organisation’s information architecture; it just grew organically

Problem: Everyone and no-one 'owns' the organisation's data, so there is no way to know what you have or whether it is kept up-to-date.

I have a track record of analysing and restructuring information platforms and critical databases, as well as recommending and implementing appropriate CRMs. And I actually enjoy doing it in close consultation with the relevant users, so that you remain in complete control of your own data.

Examples

Digital Information Organisation

Data management, document management, data analysis, customer and contacts management are vital for every organisation business these days. If you don’t know what you have and where you keep it, you can’t plan how to move the organisation forward. This is doubly true for lifescience businesses – everything from maintaining scientific data for eventual regulatory applications, to knowing which third-party organisations have been contacted by whom, to group access to a long-term project plan.

I can analyse your current strategic information platforms and critical databases, then help define your potential future needs, identify potential platforms and re-order your information.

Crisis Management Planning

Doing it well involves developing a plan, but also rolling it out to management and staff, and training all personnel. And then having a process in place to ensure that all the back-room processes behind the plan were in place, that the plan was kept up to date, and the training continues. Generally not a job anyone is eager to take on, yet still so necessary.

I know where to start your thinking, and even how to make the training interesting!

Communications Support

Most organisations understand that external communications are a necessity, if they want to grow and flourish. But senior management may neglect the internal communications activities that can support team engagement and coherence.

I can help you think through what the best medium might be for your organisation to maximise internal story-telling.
