We are a team of well-connected people professionals who bring creativity, expertise and market insights and work with subject matter experts in our business to respond to the development needs of the firm.

  • Work closely with the Innovation & Insights Team and Governance and Impact Team to bring relevant data, information and research into scoping conversations, workshops & the Investment Proposal.

  • Remain connected to the latest external thinking and best practice in design methodology and creative facilitation, bringing this expertise to scoping proposals and the wider CoE.

  • Guide and coach both the Facilitation Managers/Senior Associates and Design Hub team members by ensuring that workshop inputs and outputs are of high quality and accuracy, providing structured templates and constructive review where necessary.

  • Be a key member of the Scoping and Facilitation Community of Practice, strategically spreading the responsibility for applying consistent design methodology and supporting creative design/ facilitation across the CoE.

  • Coach and support development at both an individual and team level to enhance team capability and promote knowledge sharing at a team level.

  • Contribute to a culture where team members are engaged, innovative and take responsibility for their continuous learning and drive collaboration and education across the broader L&D professional community.
