Case Study
Manufacturing during change
The situation.
During a period of significant organisational change, teams were struggling with unclear responsibilities, inconsistent management approaches, and uncertainty around reporting lines and expectations.
The risk was not just operational. It was the cumulative effect on people working in an unstable structure.

Jo has been a trusted adviser to our business for several years, supporting us through complex people matters across multiple sites.
Our Approach
A phased approach: structure first, then management, then process alignment.
Restructure clearly
Supported the business through the formal restructuring: clear responsibilities, clear reporting lines, clear expectations. Done properly so people knew where they stood.
- Clear responsibilities defined
- Reporting lines reset
- Expectations made explicit
Support the managers
Worked directly with managers handling the new structure, with practical support on the conversations, the day-to-day, and the situations they had never faced before.
- Manager-level support
- Practical handling guidance
- Conversation coaching
Align the processes
Aligned internal processes and policies to the new structure, closing the gap between what was on paper and what was actually happening.
- Process alignment
- Policy refresh
- Paper and practice consistency
