People Placement

The right people, with the right skills in the right positions

With maximum effort and energy directed into scaling at speed, it’s normal that operations teams struggle to keep up. The busier you become, the more the skillsets that helped build your success start to buckle. As pressure ramps up, so do delivery delays, operating costs and customer complaints. Identifying where your business has outgrown your operational abilities is the essential first step in making sure you have the right people, with the right skills in the right positions. Our audit does exactly that.
The right people

Team Design

Organisation by design

Maybe your operations team has been under-resourced or now simply lacks the skills to cope. You might have the wrong people in the wrong positions. You might be short on crucial, relevant, real-world experience. Once we’ve understood your organisational design and have identified your skills gaps we’ll advise on the displacements, replacements and hires you need to power your business forward.

Recruitment Strategies

Unique recruitment insights - so you always recruit right

Who better to help you hire essential new talent than the people who researched and wrote your recruitment briefs? We’ll go out to market, advise and even sit in on your interview panels to provide crucial perspective. We’ll help to create technical case studies as part of the interview process and give your new hire all the knowledge they need to hit the ground running. Hands-on, hands-off or somewhere in between, when it comes to recruiting the new skills you need, we’ll help you as little or as much as you want.

Supporting Growth

Because founding teams won’t be founding teams forever

Change can be challenging - what’s got you to where you are now, won’t necessarily get you where you want to go. Your processes, your systems, your 3rd party relationships and sometimes your people won’t always be equipped for the job at hand. We understand this. We also understand that it’s always easier for someone independent, experienced and empathic to have those sometimes difficult conversations that help you deliver the change you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you manage resistance to change in an organisation?

Managing organisational change can be difficult and if done poorly can be hugely detrimental to a business. If you need to make changes that will effect your personnel, consider how you might approach the following:

  • Communication: Be clear and transparent about how and why you’re making changes.
  • Employee Involvement: Getting employees involved in the process can help foster a sense of ownership over the changes throughout the team.
  • Training: Offer support and training for employees to help them adapt to new ways of working.
  • Acknowledge concerns: Discuss any fears your staff may have and provide reassurance around them.
  • Leadership commitment: Show strength in leadership and positive commitment to the changes.
  • Patience and persistence: Acknowledge change takes time and may not be 100% smooth. Be prepared to adapt and develop as you go.

What does an interim supply chain consultant do?

An interim supply chain consultant can play a crucial role in a business during times of need. Sometimes they may be required to step in during times of transition, crisis, or to deliver a specialist project. Or, they may be called on to provide strategy or oversee an existing team. They are usually included in a team where there is a missing skillset and provide vital support to solve a problem.
