PROJECT WORKING

Setting goals, getting organised, contingencies, milestones, interim team management.

Within weeks of becoming a manager, I was required to take over responsibility for a service section and save money whilst doing so. As operational managers, we often have short-term projects like this thrust upon us, and feel the need of some external advice or extra capacity to cope with the load.

I have a wide experience of running projects and have also run project management training. I particularly enjoy supporting others in how to plan and run a project, adding in my specialist knowledge when required. For example, if it involves anything to do with staff changes or development, such as designing and delivering a new appraisal scheme or a mentoring programme.

"Diana is professional, thorough and extremely knowledgeable in her field. I was tasked with setting up a coaching and mentoring programme and Diana was brought in to provide expertise and advice. Thanks to her support we set up, launched and evaluated a successful programme which continues to bring invaluable benefit to our staff members as they achieve in their roles.” Jody Gunn-Russell CAFOD
