Consulting Services

Experts in Business Design and Organisational Psychology

Welcome to My Leadership Strengths Consulting Services. Having held senior private and public sector roles, we have experienced first hand the realities of driving performance within an organisation. Our experience as consultants across industries has reinforced our belief that the capacity and capability of leaders is fundamental to the success of any organisation. Our learning solutions and assessment tools fuel individual growth.
Yet we know that every leader is part of a system, which can either enable or constrain individual performance. Our consulting work focuses on creating the conditions for every employee to flourish. This may be diagnostic work to discover the real issues, organisation and job design to clarify accountabilities, or strategic workforce planning to map out future needs.

 

My Leadership Strengths Consulting Services Clients

We work with clients on a range of projects and programs, using our expertise to facilitate workshop sessions and deliver consulting assignments. Our typical clients are business owners or Executives looking to build capability or capacity in their teams, or HR/OD specialists looking to drive growth and enable behaviour change in others. We also partner with selected consulting businesses including Ascend Development, Change Right, GoBeyond Partners, Healthskills, Oak Blue & VA Consultants.

Ascend Development: NHS Integrated Care Diagnostic

The Board of an Integrated Care Partnership needed to build a shared understanding of how the 14 member organisations could work and deliver together as an ICP. They wanted to get really clear on the tensions that were holding them back, identify where people were already working well across boundaries, and understand what the ICP meant to staff and partners.

We partnered with Ascend Development to conduct a series of diagnostic interviews with Board Members, Primary Care and Acute Clinicians, Managers, Council and Community stakeholder. As lead on the project, Principal Consultant Andy Jenkins wrote a diagnostic report which we presented to and discussed at the IPC Board. The diagnostic report included:

  • Detailed insights, examples and quotes that brought to life the challenges and opportunities, built around a 6 step framework that created a common language for all parties

  • Case studies of ICP/ICS good practice from across the UK, which highlighted what was needed to be successful and how to get there

  • A comprehensive set of recommendations which were prioritised and aligned to existing programs and initiatives

“The session that Andy facilitated enabled us as a newly formed team to understand the individual strengths, development areas and explore what it meant for us working together in the future. The session received great feedback and as a result we have decided to use Andy for future internal team workshops and to offer as an external leadership coach to our clients”

Shelter: Behaviours & Competency Toolkit Development

Our public and third sector clients include the NHS, local authorities and national charities in the UK, as well as federal government organisations in Australia. We recently worked with Shelter, the leading housing and homelessness charity to bring to life their new behavioural framework, part of a major organisational transformation. We worked with them to create a toolkit full of practical tools and exercises which will make it easy for staff and volunteers to use the new behaviours, and support their work to build an inclusive and Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE) workplace.

“The quality of work provided was well thought out, using internal view points that you sought out yourself, meaning that it wasn’t just my view on things I think added depth to the work.  You adhered to all timeframes agreed upon and the output of the work met our expectations. Andy works hard to build relationships with key stakeholders on the project, taking a full 360 approach to the project, he is also dynamic and a pleasure to work with”
