Transformation Initiative

I started working with Anthea in 2021 as part of a digital transformation initiative in our company. That evolved into so much more in a very short period of time. As the Lead Learning and Development team, Anthea helped me to identify and articulate important strategies, models and frameworks to staff and clients. This re-aligned not only what we do and how we do it but also our mindset to a new future in a digital world. She skillfully guided me and my team through the strategic and practical redesign of our world and way our of work, how to confidently apply this, as well as navigating the change process that goes with it. The insights she provided in terms of our area’s internal layers and where we fit into a bigger organisational design was pivotal, always remembering that People lie at the heart of what we do. To see and understand the full impact of our capability, with new perspective and vision, was and remains a game changer. During this time she has worn many hats and demonstrated incredible knowledge and skills in not only digital transformation but organisational design, learning and knowledge management, service design, people and relationship management, communication, change management, leadership, coaching and mentorship and much more. It has been an incredible opportunity to learn and grow while working with her. It has enabled me and my team to connect to our purpose and live it.

Knowledge and Learning Management

I am writing this testimonial to express my deepest gratitude to Anthea for her remarkable contributions and professional expertise in revolutionising our Knowledge and Learning Management Team. Her dedication and support have been invaluable in elevating our organisation’s overall learning experience. Having had the opportunity to collaborate closely with Anthea, I have witnessed firsthand her unparalleled commitment to excellence. One of the most significant projects she assisted us with was setting up our learning catalogue. Through her meticulous attention to detail and keen understanding of our organisation’s needs, she was able to seamlessly integrate various learning resources, creating a comprehensive and user-friendly repository of knowledge for all our offerings and aligning it to each of our capabilities.

Furthermore, I cannot stress enough the crucial role Anthea played in the complete redesign of our curriculums and aligning them to our to-be roles. Her visionary approach and innovative ideas breathed new life into learning offerings, making them more engaging, relevant, and effective. Anthea’s ability to pinpoint the specific needs of our business and align them with the curriculum was truly impressive. As a result, our newly appointed staff not only acquired new skills based on what we offer but also developed a deep sense of confidence and enthusiasm in their roles.

In addition to her remarkable organisational contributions, Anthea also provided us with a range of well-structured assessments for staff members to identify their unique learning and social styles. By implementing these assessments, our organisation witnessed a profound transformation in team dynamics, fostering a more collaborative and understanding work environment. Anthea’s ability to identify and address individual learning needs has undoubtedly had a significant impact on our team’s overall growth and development.

Above all, what truly sets Anthea apart is her genuine warmth and heartfelt passion for nurturing learning and development among our staff. Her unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of continuous improvement has inspired all of us to strive for excellence. Anthea’s ability to create an environment where individuals feel valued, supported, and encouraged is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend Anthea to any organisation seeking to enhance their learning initiatives and drive sustainable growth.

Business Transformation and Collaboration

Project Deliverables

AM Connect 360 assisted us with re-organising, streamlining processes (As-is to the To-be), creating collaboration channels and helping us to communicate better internally (up and down). They assisted us with job profile templates and enabled us to capture detailed and accurate job profiles.  The support and knowledge they shared during the implementation of MS Teams enabled me to teach others and use it as a tool to communicate and manage tasks and projects better.

Achievements

To be more productive with less staff. To collaborate better, to manage tasks and projects better.

Working With Us

Where do I start? I knew nothing about MS Teams. If it was not for AM Connect 360’s support and assistance I don’t think I would have learned so quickly or be able to assist other managers. Running stand-up meetings and projects is now so much easier and more productive. Thank you.

I’ve really enjoyed working with Anthea and Jess and plan to do even more with them in the future. They have brought a level of refined thinking about how we work to our team that we had not managed to develop ourselves. Their experience with how people and organisations function and their ability to translate state of the art practices into the tools we already invested in was a game changer. It is an ongoing journey, and our whole team is excited to keep improving the way that we work with their help.
