Beetroot Consulting Ltd

Some of you may have noticed that myself and the Beetroot Consulting Ltd crew have been pretty low key on LinkedIn recently. 🤫 Whilst that’s been driven by a combination of down time, self preservation and fundamentally some re-charging! 💪🏾 Nobody can say that we don’t practice what we preach! But… I can confirm that WE ARE BACK! Fresh back from a trip to Wales, some fabulous collaborations with our NED community and as usual, a whole load of unsolicited opinions have been gathered to laugh you into the autumnal season! 🍁🍂🥮 Don’t say we didn’t gift you with anything 💅 Kanika S. / Lucy M. / Nicole Barker #socialmediabreak #worktrip #beetrootconsulting #walestrip #contentcreation #selfemployed #womenwholead #dreamteam

Dogs giving eyes on a Friday. This look says, maybe it's time to wind down for the weekend. Have a good one, LinkedIn community. #dogsoflinkedin #macduff #fridayfeeling #weekend #worklifebalance #dogs #friday #endoftheweek Kanika S.

So what’s the craic when it comes to shaping team cultures, ready for change delivery? Often the statement goes… culture eats strategy for breakfast…. We would say that culture is hungry, because it also eats all types of change delivery too. The ability to co-product, gain support and deliver change sits on the back of the people delivering and recieving the organisational change. When this comes to change delivery teams, often it looks like this: - You want the most emotionally intelligent and collaborative… over the brightest in the room.🤗 (Technical skills can be learned, but attitude and drive to deliver is a behaviour you can rarely teach) - You need job roles that encourage flexing to support others when the moment is required 💃🏾 (There will always be a moment when the change requires people to act outside of their ‘lane’, you dont want to be debating this when seas are choppy) - You need enough time for those involved to get up to speed, before they start running🏃🏽♀️ (There is always a rush to complete, but if your team aren’t a team yet, they aren’t chasing the same vision… you will be busy fools) - You need a team that knows at their core, that their delivery is only of value if they are able to deliver to the needs of the organisation🫡 (The view that change is done to people is old school, change as a service to serve the organisation as a whole, changes all your interactions and approach when delivering.) #changemanagement #managingteams #techleaders #changeprogrammes #changeteams #businessdevelopment #digitaltransformation Kanika S.

New hair, don’t care. Apparently learning stimulates your brain and enhances cognitive function. Research tells us that it improves memory, concentration, and problem-solving abilities, keeping your mind sharp and agile! Our MD Kanika S., decided that learning to do her own hair…. re-styling it with tools and products that she has never used before… thats her new learning mission. Cognitive function, a boost incoming! #newhair #cognitivefunction #blackhair #hairstyling #womenwholead #femaleleaders #femalefounders #girlboss

So what is change programme set up? 🤨 Often when organisations start delivering change, they stumble because they dont know how to get the foundations right at the start. 👷🏽♂️When delivering organisational change, this is often about having clarity of vision, purpose and objectives. - The Programme set up activities are the tools, mechanisms and frameworks required to ensure that you know what actions you will take to deliver the above e.g. change management approach, embedded project objectives, low level clarity of specific and outcomes. 💻👷🏽♂️When delivering technically enabled change, you start with that same vision, purpose and objectives, but the programme set up looks a bit different. - So if you need both the organisational change and the technology to deliver to the agreed ambitions above, your programme set up now need to be in your agreed actions for doing tech and change together. It must embed the partnership across the two areas. e.g. Test strategy needs to be both UAT and Technical test and outline how they both work together, the Migration Approach needs to speak to the technical steps to migration, but also the organisation steps to clean and check the data. Good programme set up, it saves lives, time and money! 💪🏽 Do it right and your change programme will be on rails. 🚂 So what is change programme set up? 🤨 Often when organisation start delivering change, they stumble because they dont know how to get the foundations right at the start. 👷🏽♂️When delivering organisational change, this is often about having clarity of vision, purpose and objectives. - The Programme set up activities are the tools, mechanisms and frameworks required to ensure that you know what actions you will take to deliver the above e.g. change management approach, embedded project objectives, low level clarity of specific and outcomes. 💻👷🏽♂️ When delivering technically enabled change, you start with that same vision, purpose and objectives, but the programme set up looks a bit different. - So if you need both the organisational change and the technology to deliver to the agreed ambitions above, your programme set up now need to be in your agreed actions for doing tech and change together.

‘You don’t build community, you facilitate it’  Dr Marcus Collins worked with Beyonce shaping the beehive… one of the most powerful online communities there is. 💪🏽 If you have ever reflected on the ability to bring people together, globally around the world, with links so tenuous and a connection fierce, this is one of the first done. Roli Barkers shaping of Liming was very similar, organic, facilitating and adaptive. 🍋🟩 Always a pleasure to join her. 👏🏽 #community #communitybuilding #womenintech #womeninchange #femaleleaders #femalefounders #girlboss #selfemployed #livedexperience Kanika S.

Pets of LinkedIn! Macduff joins us today for some further wisdom. This weekend, Macduff escaped the front door, went running down the street after a cat. 🏃🏽♀️ After crossing the road, he eventually followed the cat into a ladies house and scrambled around until he realised, he didn’t even know where he was. 🦮 Now, before anyone calls the RSPCA or Neighbourhood watch… this story has a good ending as he was being chased and recovered (no cat was caught in the making of this story).🐈🙏🏾 But it was a little reminder in not being too single minded in your workplace goals. Sometimes there is a road, or a strangers house that you probably don’t want to venture into. 😳 #petsoflinkedin #puppy #workplacegoals #womenintech #femaleleaders #diverseteams #workplaceprogression #mindset Kanika S.

Fabulous to announce that our MD is due to be speaking at the Housing Diversity Network Autumn Conference… Birmingham on the 3rd of October… we are doing ‘A Spotlight on Equality’, I hope that I will see a number of you all there. 🥳 https://lnkd.in/dxGJbBhR #HDNAutumnConfere2024 #HDN #HousingDiversityNetwork #SpotlightonEquality #DiverseTeams #FemaleLeaders #EDI #LivedExperience Kanika S.

Diversity Discussions…. it’s going hard now. 🤘🏾 Whilst we want people to feel that they can be themselves, the more that you engage with EDI and understand peoples behaviours in the workplace… the more that you see people select the mask for the situation and wear it with determination. 😳 As Marianne says, there is more work to be done, when we see people brace themselves to be their work self. 🥳 #diversitydiscussions #workself #workplacebehaviours #womenwholead #femaleleaders #edi #diverseteams #diversity #equality #livedexperience #blackintech Kanika S.

The Liming crew went on tour!🚝 We were off to London to see ’Slave Play” at the Noël Coward Theatre, Jeremy O.Harris's play about race, identity and sexuality in twenty-first century! 👏🏽 Those who love a book reccomendation, now we are shifting you to a play recommendation. This is a fabulous play if you are keen to delve into the interplay of race, identity and sexuality on modern day relationships. 💪🏽 The un-said, acted, subliminal and emotional reactions that we are all required to work through in our relationships. Don’t go, if you don’t want or are not able to delve deep. 😳 We were discussing this one for days after.
