Michele and Astute quickly got to know our organisation and how we operate as people. They brought a level of strategic HR organisation structure and series of initiatives to us that we were simply not equipped to do on our own. This has been hugely beneficial to us as an organisation particularly as we navigate our way through Covid and home working. Michele has built a trusted and familiar working relationship with the management teams.
- Ronan Stafford, CEO Codec
'We partnered with Michele (and Kevin) to review and analyse our corporate culture. They provided excellent insights and tools that gave us clarity on how best to shift our culture in the context of where we are going as a business. The practical recommendations and delivery roadmap equipped us to drive the change. Astute Consulting are an excellent partner with a wealth of industry experience that is indispensable when looking to change culture. Highly recommended.'
- Nicola Connolly, Head of Corporate Governance
'For the last two years, we have partnered with Astute Consulting to help us drive organisation and culture change. Michele had helped us with a coaching programme to continue our journey of building a high performance and engaging culture. Michele’s coaching style quickly builds rapport and trust and has helped to build self-awareness and most important uplift leadership capability. We would highly recommend Astute Consulting for people and organisation change and Executive Coaching.'
- Orlagh Hunt, Group People Director
'We engaged Astute Consulting to review the HR function to help us rebalance the focus from operational to strategic so more value adding in helping the different businesses succeed. Michele helped to define the future HR targeting operating model, build a business case for change and develop the detailed organisation design. Michele was engaging throughout the process, able to challenge when appropriate and a superb sounding board. Michele helped to shift the mindset of the organisation to consider a better, more efficient way of operating. Astute Consulting is an excellent partner in helping organisations to bring about positive change.'
- Simone McLeod Nairn, Chief People Officer
‘We engaged Astute Consulting to advise on our organisational structure to support a major programme of change underlying a new strategy. Michele’s advice and judgment were crucial in addressing some of the key organisational structure decisions. In addition, Michele worked closely with our internal team, sharing her experience and insights to leave a lasting impact. I would highly recommend Michele as a valued partner for any change process.’
