How I Can Help Design And Develop Your Business Through People
Varying factors within our control as well as out of our control can cause pressing problems for SME’s. Here are a few ways we can work together to help you restructure your business for the future through strategic change.
Managing Change
We’ve never seen such a huge shift in the way SME’s have had to adapt to change so dramatically, so quickly and with little or no preparation time, in light of the then pandemic and now with excessive economic unrest.
It can be difficult to know what to do & more importantly who to turn to when you need help and guidance to manage change effectively.
Adapting to and managing areas such as restructuring, right-sizing or redundancy and outplacement NOW will help future-proof your business for years to come.
I offer a fresh set of eyes to observe and offer guidance and support. I’ll keep things simple and to the point wherever possible and what I deliver to you will add value.
About MARIE
With over 20+ years’ experience working within a HR/people development remit, Marie has held various senior positions within the automotive pressings industry, food manufacturing/processing and agriculture sectors and occupational health charity, before her transition to consultancy. These days Marie gets to work with fabulous independent businesses that vary in size and industries.
Aside from her many years of generalist HR management, Marie is practised in significant change projects, including project management, talent and succession planning implementation, job restructuring, site closures, redundancy and outplacement of staff.
As a chartered member of the CIPD, this experience all lends itself to a passion for organisational development and design, adding value through people, processes and development initiatives.
"Having the right people within a business
is fundamental in making your business fit for the future and not just for now."
– Marie Speight
Marie has worked on a number of high profile projects within Greenvale in the time that I have known her. These have included the successful closure of three production facilities, the implementation of a succession planning model, access to Apprentice Levy funding, the generation of a management development programme including senior management mentoring.
Marie’s drive, attention to detail, ability to communicate with people of all levels within our business and enthusiasm to see a challenge through to a successful conclusion was a factor behind her work and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to assist with any HR needs within a business.
Marie ‘gets’ the need for change and she ‘gets’ people – most importantly she understands the impact of each upon the other. Her recent facilitation of our business transition project at Enitial has proved invaluable in enabling the team to focus, prioritise and deliver through challenging times. I would happily recommend Marie for project support as well as training and development.
