Interim assignments

Organisations need interim support for several reasons - to fill a skills gap, to handle a specific project or to provide a short-term boost to in-house resources.  Typically assignments last from two to six months.  Examples of interim projects I've undertaken include:

Prudential. Internal communications business partner for HR and Finance Functions.  Projects covered included all-employee and top management bonus and reward communications; re-launch of flexible benefits scheme; cost control and strategic sourcing communications campaign.

Lex AutoLogistics.  Worked closely with HR director through downsizing, new plant announcements, transfer of key contract and departure of MD.  Key project objectives to develop effective communication framework and establish ownership of channels and content achieved within four months.

Norwich Union Life.  Worked as internal communications business partner with 150 strong HR team.  The main focus of the assignment was to tailor and implement a new communication strategy to support a major change programme at corporate level, as well as handling two major surveys and support for a diversity programme.

Aviva UK Life.  Managed policyholder strategy and communications for 6 million customers on a complex multi-billion pound financial transaction.  Key aspects of the marketing communications programme included developing and managing content for web, customer call centres and mailings. The project achieved 84% positive take up by customers and delivered access to £650 million of capital for shareholders.  The programme won a Marketing Society award for excellence in marketing teamwork.
