She has worked on change management issues alongside many of the larger consultancies and is qualified to look at the attitudes, behaviours, processes, design, culture and leadership of organisations across a range of sectors.

Organisations in the future run the risk of failing because they adopt too mechanistic an approach to the transformation of the organisation. Focusing on a Performance Management Culture to the detriment of their people will often lead to employee relations issues. A greater balance has to be struck with flexibility and room for creativity and innovation. The risk to the organisation if they don’t balance their approach will be that they do not engage their people and excite them to deliver a superior service or product in the future. The organisation will encounter problems and start to fail.

Sheila has over 25 years experience working for many leading organisations such as: Abbey National Plc, The Sports Council (now Sport England), Channel 4 Television, B.A.A., Anglian Water Plc, Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, College of Estate Management, The Carbon Trust, Caradon Building Products and Ashridge Management College. Whilst at Ashridge Management College she worked with a range of organisations, including, Microsoft, Woolworths, United Distillers and the BBC. She has facilitated the people and change issues linked with mergers and business acquisitions, Senior Team Strategic Development, Talent Development and Investors in People. She has designed and tutored management development programmes for all levels on leadership, influencing, communication, decision-making, team building, strategic human resources, business and legal knowledge.
