Hi, I’m Alison. I specialise in
L&D VENDOR MANAGEMENT AND QUALITY CONTROL
THE STRATEGY AND OPS THAT UNDERPIN GREAT L&D
MANAGED SERVICE SUPPORT/ACCOUNT
MANAGEMENT
COMPLEX PROBLEM SOLVING
CUSTOMER-CENTRIC, FRICTIONLESS COMMS.
I’ve worked with organisations like Legal and General Financial Services and understand the particular
issues that a federated operating model faces.
As a customer centric L&D professional, my main skills lie in stakeholder management, bridging
knowledge gaps and facilitating healthy two-way communication and connection across teams and departments.
My career also spans sales, marketing, consulting, facilitation, and coaching. As a successful
business owner, I have a strong commercial lens through which to deliver ROI.
UNBELIEVABLY...
58% of Risk Professionals identify poor data quality as the greatest data-related risk (McKinsey), believing it to be responsible for an average of nearly £12 million per year in losses.
A 2023 Prevalent TPRM Study found that 48% of companies were still
depending on spreadsheets to compile, store and evaluate data.
As a business, how are you capturing, validating, storing, and analysing
your data?
Do you have a consistent process throughout your organisation?
Is it effective, and how well is it communicated?

ABOUT YOU
Looking for someone impartial to come in and review your current vendor pool. Assess risk, uncover hidden issues, drive quality, evaluate costs and make recommendations.

I HAVE...
Worked with and managed vendor, contractor, and associate pools, and as an Associate myself, I know the challenges they can present.
You’re looking for value for money, but not at the expense of cultural alignment and business impact.
You want to perform a robust assessment and possible cull, potentially set against new or revised KPI’s, but don’t know where to start.
You know you need a reliable dashboard in place with current data that gives you an accurate picture to inform areas like demand planning, talent management, internal mobility and manage risk, because yours is scattered at best, outdated at worst.
You may want to source new vendors but realise that there are gaps in governance, systems, process, feedback, onboarding, and messaging.
I see and solve issues like this all the time. Spend 30 minutes with me and I’ll give you some pointers.

REAL RESULTS:
Lou is in Corporate. She's always had strong instincts about people.
Before she came on my course, she had no context or container for her skills, or structure to safely and easily develop them. Then she found us!
After taking our course, and us still being connected 23 years later, she's still using them in every area of her life to make big (and small) decisions, navigate change with less fear, take bold steps to fulfill her goals and draw on everything she learnt to live life on her terms. She was amazed at how far she got in the short time she was on the course...
