Joe Gorman
CEO
Claire's support and guidance with our digital strategy project was invaluable. As an organisation with no internal IT team, we needed digital expertise to help assess where we stood, where we wanted to be, and how we could get there. Whereas, the technical side of digital projects is obviously important, Claire completely understood that success depended hugely on our people.
Claire blended her technical knowledge with her emotional intelligence skills to deliver an approach that put our people first. This resulted in comprehensive buy in from our team and high enthusiasm levels that are already making the implementation phase much easier.
Working with our team to specify what they required from new software, whilst managing their expectations, was another positive element of Claire's input.
Engaging with potential and existing suppliers on our behalf provided effective communication of our needs and created an environment for constructive exchanges. Claire's input on our procurement decision-making increased our confidence in the direction we were taking.
We really enjoyed working with Claire, and would have no hesitation in reaching out to her again in the future.

I have nothing but praise for the service we have received from Claire. She supported us through every step of our project, often going above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Claire.
Simone Bartley
Director of People
Claire understands that successful implementations of new technologies is more about the people than the tech. Claire has been a pleasure to work with, she helped us to navigate the complexities, so we focused on what was important. With her acute focus on solutions and successful delivery, she has been instrumental in the delivery of our ambitious programme.

Claire and Louise's experience in Housing proved really helpful on this project, meaning that they fully understood all of the inter-departmental data flows and spoke the same language as those attending the workshops.

Claire was able to help Solon and United Communities through an IT system option appraisal and supplier contract negotiations while also supporting us with a sometimes delicate approvals process. "
"Claire's approach was always professional and approachable which greatly helped Solon and United Communities to achieve a positive outcome during a time of change for both organisations.

Director of Research at the Disruptive Innovators Network and former founding CEO of HouseMark
"I recently had the pleasure of working alongside Claire on a housing association project in the West of England. Having never met Claire before, I was blown away by her skills and performance.
Her knowledge of technology trends (including but not limited to Cloud) and her ability to convey that knowledge is exceptional. She knows more about supplier products and their implementation than the suppliers do themselves. Her project management and stakeholder engagement were as good as I have ever experienced.
But what really sets Claire apart from competitors is her long prior experience of working in housing management. This helps in three ways; complete mastery of overlapping IT system dependencies, a better understanding of client requirements than the client itself and sure-footed implementation recommendations.
Finally, Claire is used to working on complex multi-layered projects and supporting other (non-IT) contractors even if its not required in her brief. She is an all-round team player."
