About Jo
Cultural change and employee experience expert, author, speaker and guest lecturer, champion of women in business and women in technology and entrepreneur. Helping businesses improve their people dynamics and realise a measurable step-change in performance by changing their culture.
As a consultant, I help companies change their culture with a dual-lens.
1) To improve the work-life and employee experience of the individual
2) To improve productivity, engagement, employee value proposition and financial results for the company
We work with manufacturers to facilitate digital transformation and adopt cultures, skills and ways of thinking for digital. We work with 'scale-ups' to help them evolve their culture to scale- to think and act like grown-up firms (without losing the magic), we work with corporates to help them be more innovative. Generally, we enhance people dynamics in the workplace through leadership development, management training, shifting mindset, changing behaviour and making new cultures 'stick' ( that also involves policy, process and system change). I'm interested in Organisational Culture, Cultural Change, Leadership Development, Diversity & Inclusion, Innovation Culture, Customer Experience, Employee Experience, Physical Workspace, Employee Wellbeing, Assessing Culture, Measuring Culture, Employee Engagement Technology.
As an author and speaker, I have shared my belief that culture is a lynchpin of business success and innovation. I also co-authored the book "Building A Culture of Innovation" which was shortlisted for the CMI Award and an Amazon Bestseller.
There are a few things that make us different from other culture change agencies:
1) We understand humans and business: We know what it takes to create and grow successful, innovative businesses, improve productivity, enhance your employee value proposition but we also care about the individual and their employee experience- employee wellbeing, diversity and inclusion.
2) We're very comfortable with complexity: Much of our work centres around complex business or people dynamics; mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, multi-site teams, remote working teams, leadership changes and other inflexion points. A brand agency will not be able to cope with this!
3)We have a multi-discipline team: Our people have diverse backgrounds- HR Directors, Customer Experience Directors, Creatives, Psychologists, Anthropologists, Technologists- we do innovative solutions as a way of life.
4) We measure culture, change culture, align cultures, evolve culture but we also teach you how to do it for yourself- we want you to learn how to keep evolving.
5)We have tried and tested methodologies and technologies that we use but every client project is different- we consider our clients to be partners and work alongside you to get the results you need.
6) We understand that culture is the small stuff too- We can help with 2 members of your top team not getting along as well as we can do a cultural assessment for 15k employees.
