Administrative & professional support

Clear the everyday backlog.

  • Client intake, scheduling, and follow-up

  • Documents, records, and research

  • Meeting materials and vendor communication

Example: Turn scattered inquiries into an organized list with clear next steps.

You receive: Completed tasks, current records, and an update on outstanding items.

Ongoing operations support

Keep recurring work on track.

  • Shared task lists and deadline tracking

  • Weekly priorities and team follow-up

  • Status reports and issues flagged for your decision

Example: Establish a weekly routine so key responsibilities don’t depend on your memory.

You receive: Clear priorities, current tracking, and reliable follow-through.

Process improvement

Make work easier to repeat and hand over.

  • Review workflows and remove unnecessary steps

  • Create procedures, checklists, and templates

  • Organize shared information and tracking tools

Example: Simplify client booking with one intake form, response templates, and a clear procedure.

You receive: A documented process and practical tools your team can use.

Project coordination & delivery

Turn a business priority into a workable plan—and carry it through.

  • Define the work: Clarify the goal, scope, responsibilities, and timeline.

  • Organize delivery: Coordinate people, tasks, dependencies, and decisions.

  • Prepare the transition: Review existing processes, organize information, and document the new approach.

  • Test and launch: Coordinate checks, resolve gaps with the right people, and prepare staff.

  • Hand over: Provide guides, training, and follow-up support.

Example: Excel invoicing to QuickBooks

Your invoices live in spreadsheets. Tracking payments takes time, and you want a more consistent process.

  1. Review: Map how invoices are created, approved, sent, and followed up.

  2. Prepare: Organize customer and invoice records and agree what needs to move.

  3. Coordinate setup: Work with your bookkeeper or accountant to confirm settings, opening balances, and record checks.

  4. Test: Walk through sample invoices and payment tracking, resolving issues before the switch.

  5. Train and launch: Document the new process, train the people using it, and support the first invoicing cycle.

You receive: A transition plan, action tracker, documented invoicing workflow, staff guidance, and an organized handover. You approve key decisions and spending; accounting decisions and balances are confirmed with your bookkeeper or accountant.

Learning design, training & onboarding

Turn knowledge into training people can use.

  • Identify learning needs: Clarify what people need to know and do, and where training can help.

  • Capture unwritten processes: Interview experienced staff, map workflows, and develop clear procedures.

  • Design onboarding: Create role-based learning paths, first-week plans, and manager checklists.

  • Develop training: Build videos, demonstrations, interactive modules using Articulate 360, presentations, and task guides.

  • Support delivery: Prepare facilitators, coordinate rollout, and guide practice.

  • Evaluate and improve: Use feedback and knowledge checks to refine the learning.

Example: From unwritten knowledge to onboarding

New hires learn by asking whoever is available. Processes aren’t documented, and training varies from person to person.

  1. Capture and confirm key processes with experienced staff.

  2. Develop procedures and quick-reference guides.

  3. Build a role-based onboarding learning path.

  4. Create short videos, interactive modules, and practice activities.

  5. Pilot the training, refine it, and agree how materials will stay current.

You receive: A reusable onboarding program with documented processes, training materials, and a maintenance plan. Formats, software, and delivery arrangements are agreed to suit the assignment.

Change & implementation

Help your team adopt a new way of working.

  • Transition planning and clear responsibilities

  • Staff communications, FAQs, and training coordination

  • Post-launch feedback and follow-up

Example: Help staff move from paper calendars to online booking.

You receive: A rollout plan, practical guidance, and follow-up actions. Technical setup is scoped separately.
