Introducing Da Vinci Consulting
Thursday, 11 June 2009
My strengths are more on the collaborative side of the “Connecting the Dots” framework introduced earlier. That is: helping groups and teams do this work together and for themselves. That's why I'm pleased to introduce Karen Dunshea, who runs Da Vinci Consulting. Her skills and experience are very complementary to mine.
Karen generally works with senior managers and leaders. In the first instance, she helps them to define HR strategy for their organisation. She then works with them to translate this strategy into practical initiatives which will help develop the culture they wish to create.
