Consulting

Solving problems quickly

Consulting is when I use my expertise to address and solve specific issues, problems, topics or challenges

There are times when you just need someone with the right skills!

If your drains are blocked you have a choice:

  1. Learn how to unblock drains.
  2. Call a plumber.

As a coach I take the time to impart the skills to you so that you can learn to do it yourself. As a consultant I do it for you.

The basis for most of my consulting is my VIEW Assessment.

Some of the topics or challenges in my wheelhouse are:

  • Recruiting the right person
  • Promoting the right person
  • Executive Team Analysis
  • Addressing communication in a team
  • Succession planning
  • Multi-generational family businesses
  • Resolving conflict
  • Assessing the health of a team
  • Agile Flex
  • Choosing a career
  • Communication for couples or families

Details for the above

Recruitment

I use my VIEW assessment to analyse 4 key areas of recruitment –

  • Their fit into the Organisation or Team
  • Their capacity to interact with people
  • Their ability to function when there is a crisis or pressure
  • Their fit for the job, and their ability to be productive over an extended period of time

Promoting

Promoting the wrong person can be an expensive exercise. My analysis can give you a good indication of whether they will succeed, and also the areas they would need help

Executive Team Analysis

This analysis can give you feedback on the following –

  • The team strength regarding analytical and factual decision-making
  • The capacity for operational execution and attention to detail
  • The strategic capability
  • The interpersonal/people leadership capability
  • Strength of planning and follow-through
  • Risks and weaknesses
  • The danger of too many similar thinkers
  • Capacity for strategic/big-picture thinking
  • Tendency towards decisions that are overly operational rather than strategic
  • People/empathy orientation
  • Attention to detail or execution
  • Potential for conflict between highly analytical and highly interpersonal managers
  • Occupation of roles that don’t naturally match preferences

Communication

This is moving towards the Coaching sphere, but I can analyse and address communication that produces improvements in communication quickly

Succession Planning

Increasing the probability of a smooth and effective handover

Multi-generational family businesses

Bringing the following generations on board strategically, with a clear understanding of strengths and weaknesses.

Conflict Resolution

One of my key competencies is to deal with conflict situations, highlight the underlying causes, and make recommendations regarding resolving the conflict

Team Health Assessment

I have a Team Health engagement, but I can also just analyse the team and produce a report.

Agile Flex

In entails doing a VIEW Assessment for the Project manager and the team involved in the Sprint, and building a communication strategy for the PM.

Career Choice

Using my VIEW Assessment, I can give key information that informs people’s career choices, with a focus on what to study.

Communication for Couples and Families

I can help improve the communication of families, with a particular emphasis on families with children between the ages of 13 and 30
