ABOUT ANDREA PLACE

I work with senior leaders to enable change within complex, matrixed organisations. Encouraging cross organisational collaboration, my work involves crafting and implementing strategies that enhance employee experience, effectiveness and organisational performance. I have introduced innovative colleague listening approaches, developed and launched Wellbeing and EDI action plans, designed and delivered pioneering leadership development programmes, established and developed talent, succession and performance frameworks. As well as working alongside leaders to change ways of working - improving employee experience and retention, reducing accident rates and optimising project and change cost and productivity. With over a decade of experience as a Director and Managing Consultant, I excel in OD and change, talent development, and engagement. My approach is characterised by pragmatic, individualised collabrations with leaders and teams focused on identifying and sustaining high performance, establishing in-house OD teams, and developing tailored propositions for enduring transformation. Certified as a Strengths Coach by Gallup, we work seeks to empower organisations to leverage individual talents to achieve their strategic objectives.
