Consulting

Bring Becky into your team

My expertise

Bring me on to your team

I love working with a team to solve customer’s challenges. Consulting is an adventure from the first days of absorbing information like a sponge to building relationships and delivering value to leaving sustainable improvements. It’s more fun as a team.

With my experience across a broad range of sectors and scales of organisation, I bring a people and flow perspective of customers’ problems which - whilst always unique in their combinations - are rarely unique in their parts.

I have over 20 years of experience as technologist internationally and in the UK broadly across sectors from humanitarian to public sector in business and technology consulting - Conflux, Thoughtworks and Accenture. Experienced as BA/ DM / Product/ Org design person - people and flow are my themes.

As a portfolio consultant, I’m looking for 2-3 days per week for any length of contract, making this a flexible and affordable offer.

I also bring access to a broad alumni network for advice and additional co-workers if needed.

Book a chat and let’s see what could happen

I can support with….

  • Maturity Assessment - review of organisational maturity - modern engineering practices, structures, culture

  • Bridging the technical - organisational gap - conveying complex, technical concepts in relatable language and formats; life-rafting out of deep expertise perspective and into empathetic balance with colleagues.

  • Building and maintaining cross-functional teams - coaching /mentoring teams and/or leaders, hiring for scaling skills, skills boosting, recognising strengths and challenges such as cognitive overload,

  • Organisational structures and culture - common language for team purpose and interactions eg Team Topologies, communities of practice; culture shifts eg. finding agency and autonomy

  • Partnerships around scaled innovations - collaborative outcome design - creating a lasting, shared understanding, seeding then ceding control as a partner, conscious of power imbalances.
