Stratus Consulting » Our Approach No off the shelf solutions At Stratus Consulting we're keen to build long-term collaborative relationships with you and your business. We want to understand exactly what you need so we can adapt to your culture and commitments. Getting the results you want We're committed to measuring your progress, and, by making your people accountable for their own success, we ensure change lasts. Professional project management and design We project manage all our assignments to ensure our work is delivered effectively and on time. This means we will: Provide a single point of contact Review project progress through regular formal and informal meetings Work to an agreed project scope and plan and provide regular documented project status reports Robust development and delivery processes When working with an organisation on an assignment we use our proven OD project methodology to ensure the project achieves successful outcomes that stick. 1. Launch Create buy-in and trust Ensure mutual understanding of how the programme/relationship will work Establish required outcomes and the organisation's KPIs 2. Diagnose Uncover the issues and the current state in line with the organisation's KPIs. Current base line data which is usually collected or reviewed at this time includes: Climate and engagement survey results Current HR systems documentation 360 feedback Company audits Interviews with key stakeholders Focus groups This phase is usually completed with a scoping document which is agreed and signed off by the client. 3. Design Based on the results of the diagnostic, a conceptual and detailed design document may be created if required. Design documents are reviewed and signed off by the client before final materials / frameworks / models and processes etc are created and documented. The design phase includes the design of the evaluation process for the project. Final materials / frameworks / models and processes are created and documented. 4. Deliver Rollout / implementation of the programme / frameworks / models which may include a limited pilot to review effectiveness and make any final changes. 5. Review The programme / framework / model or process is evaluated against the agreed criteria and to evaluate whether the desired outcomes have been achieved. Recommendations are made for next steps. Stratus Consulting believe 'what gets measured gets done'. We strongly advise a robust review and measurement process including feedback from the business and customers where appropriate.

""I have worked with Gabrielle over the last 3 years and consider her to be a very skilled organisation development professional. We have used her in a wide variety of projects including the design and implementation of our competency frameworks, recruitment and selection systems, Leadership Development programmes, senior level facilitation and structural reviews. We have also used her as a key Executive coach for our organisation, an area in which she is particularly skilled. She has that rare gift of being able to get people to explore for themselves what is getting in the way of their effectiveness as an Executive and is able to effectively assist them to make positive behavioural change. She is also very comfortable working with Senior Executives and the issues faced at that level." GM People, The Warehouse Group
