However that creates opportunities

Allan James consulted to the Director of this organisation and a selected team
of his direct reports. The purpose, structure, deployment and roles in the organisation were subject to significant change, and Allan helped the team build a strategy for change as well as the detailed tactics necessary to initiateand sustain the change. This focused on equipping the middle management layer to adapt their behaviours so as to enable first line managers and individual contributors to be successful in the new organisation set up.

  have had success if it was not for the guidance Allan provided.

  driving force. This was the first step in bringing about a change.
  
  Results: Clearer business direction and significant growth in revenues
  and greater employee engagement.
