Dr Dawn Heather DCHyp MBPS BSCH (Assoc)

Dawn is a business consultant looking at creating environments and procedures that motivate people to work towards their own goals, whilst they work towards their organisational goals too, through acceptable methods that are also sustainable in the long term - motivation, method and maintenance

Dawn's background is in the Health and Social Care Industry - using a psychological approach to the analysis of environments and support services for people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders. There are few industries where diversity, tolerance, intolerance, and resistance to change, are more apparent.

The ultimate question is: How to accommodate different ways of being, whilst facilitating tolerance and acceptance of change?

Dawn's associates are all specialists in their own right.

Intelligent Solutions

How can our Consultancy Services help you?

Take a couple of moments to think about the following questions:

How do you maximise efficiency within working teams as well as providing them with a flexible structure within which each member can pursue their individual goals?

How do you validate your working processes with evidence that proves best practice and informs future practice?

These are two of the considerations that underpin our consultancy approach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

PEOPLE AND PROCESSES

 

Nothing is set in stone and change is inevitable - therefore, anticipating, embracing and using change to everyone's advantage requires flexibility and a method of accumulating evidence that creates an evolving frame of reference.

Analysis of roles and procedures facilitates the development of working models to suit everyone whilst keeping an eye on the bigger picture. Wherever possible in-house technology is used to support this development, thus avoiding selling 'products' - this is about people, processes and affordability.

People related issues:

  • Lack of organisational trust and respect 

  • Uneven pressure within staff teams

  • Maintaining a high level of motivation within all staff members

  • Reluctance to delegate

  • Fear of Responsibility

  • Disempowerment and lack of autonomy in both staff and service users

Process related issues:

  • Crisis management

  • Inflexible systems

  • Maintaining acceptable levels of training

  • Accessing and sharing information across the organisation

  • Excessive procedural repetition - unnecessary time wasting

  • Cumbersome procedures

  • High turnover of staff

Setting Goals:

Everyone has goals - both personal and professional.  However, life is a dynamic process of pressure (both internal and external), release and movement.  At certain times one goal may conflict with the other and then a value judgment must be made to decide which takes priority.

With our individual uniqueness, identifying what is desirable for each person within a team or company can be extremely complex.

Goals can be identified at different levels, with varying duration. Overall success in the long term may require the successful completion of immediate short term goals. Maintaining the course towards the long term goals requires careful planning with inbuilt flexibility to enable movement with the market.

Each is inextricably linked to the other and the success or failure of any venture will be dependent upon the cumulative effect of all these elements.

Achieving Multi-faceted Goals:

Successful outcomes depend on a series of interactive sequences to provide desirable rewards. These sequences involve both people and processes.

When there is a shared goal, finding desirable ways to achieve it, whilst keeping everyone motivated, is complex, and trying to lead large numbers of people who are engaged in equally large numbers of processes can be likened to 'herding cats'.

With the right motivation, with methods that are energy-saving and enjoyable, and with maintenance that is cost effective - each person moves closer to their goals and everyone is happy!

We combine vision and expertise to ensure that you attain your goals through personal and professional empowerment.

How do we achieve this? Through the design and implementation of innovative changes at personal, professional, and organisational levels - with minimal disruption and seamless transitions!

We facilitate innovation and conceptualisation, helping to develop new ideas and concepts and creating amazing results. We focus on your needs and help you to maximise your resources to make the changes that will revolutionise your way of thinking, your way of working and your way of living. We make things happen - sooner rather than later!

Our associates are all specialists in their own rights, providing a broad base of expertise from which to draw when creating a solution that is right for each end user, member of staff and/or organisation.
