Leadership Consultant

BAE Systems

Spent 4 months on placement in Mechanical Engineering Support. This involved producing solutions to problems with the product. Skills used include; Problem Solving, Engineering Design, Mathematical Analysis and Report Writing.

My second placement on the GDF was in Cost Engineering began in January 2013 and involved working on the bid process for various projects and pricing the labour within the business.

GDF Engineer

Worked as a design engineer as part of the High Integrity Pressure Vessels team within the Nuclear Marine sector. Assisted in the design of a number of components, writing technical reports, working on the design and manufacture of the pressure vessel following ASME codes III and VIII. Techniques used included Design for Assembly/Manufacture, TRIZ and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. SC Security Clearance attained.

Over my time in the Engineering sector, I have witnessed many examples of both good and bad leadership. In 2021, I started working with clients to help improve their leadership, based on empowering team members with effective goal setting, determining where they decide to focus their efforts and developing a framework to support others to get higher performance.

My background, working in some of the best engineering firms in the world, has given me great exposure to "Operational Excellence" - which is what I can work with you to achieve. Operational excellence is the perfect balance of People, Process and Purpose. I have the tools to help you with all three!

People are at the heart of any good business, but you need to get the right ones, develop them and keep them around. I can help you preparing for interviewing new employees, empowering them to love their role and develop them so they can be at their best more often.

Process is often overlooked in leadership, but a great leader understands their outputs and helps their team by removing obstacles so they can deliver. Are your team bogged down or have inconsistent ways of working, with limited tangible results? I am experienced in Agile, Scrum, Lean, Six Sigma, Quality Management Systems and more to help you fix these problems.

Finally, purpose! Tell your team what you need to achieve and let them figure out how to get there. I can help with goal setting, planning for the future and delivering the mission to your team. Without understanding purpose, your team will never be able to reach high performance.

If your organisation is struggling to develop a high performing culture, get in touch and let me help you achieve your goals.
