Introducing PI’s New Joiners

Posted: 30 Oct 2007

PI has strengthened its team with four new appointments

As part of PI’s commitment to continuously improving the strength and depth of its service to clients, the practice made four new appointments in late 2006.
The new joiners bring a wealth of diverse skills and experience from both the private and public sectors and all share PI’s ethos of integrity, collaboration and passion for excellence.

Ian Gill

Since joining PI in November, Ian has headed up the practice’s Nottingham Office. He brings a thorough understanding of the needs of the marketplace and other stakeholders to the development and implementation of strategy. He is a highly capable organisational analyst, adept at understanding organisations both internally and within their external environment.

In addition to 10 years commercial experience in a variety of consumer goods, manufacturing and retail environments, Ian holds an MA in Corporate Strategy and Governance from Nottingham University and a BSc in Management Science from Warwick business school.

In his own words: “I am really looking forward to working with PI’s clients across the UK and beyond, but as someone who was born in Nottingham and grew up on the Notts/Leicestershire border I have always tried to extoll the virtues of what I believe is one of the most under-rated and least well-known regions of the country. Therefore, I am delighted to have the opportunity to develop PI’s operation in the East Midlands and to play my part in assisting the area’s organisations to improve their performance.”

Sarah Goodwin

Sarah is an experienced and highly motivated management consultant with over 21 years experience of public and private sector business delivery. She specialises in leadership development and organisational change and is passionate about releasing potential to energise and enable sustained growth and added value. Sarah is adept at helping individuals unravel and appreciate their own unique talents, develop their self awareness and belief in their own capabilities.

In addition to a large number of Public and Private Sector assessor accreditations Sarah holds an MBA from the University of Leicester and a Certificate in Training Education from Leeds Metropolitan University. She is a Prince2 Practitioner, EFQM qualified Assessor and an accredited practitioner of a range of psychometric tools, including MBTI Step 1 and 2, FIRO B and 16PF. Sarah is a Certified Management Consultant and Fellow of the Institute of Management Consultancy.

In her own words: “It never ceases to amaze me how much diverse potential and ability individuals hold – and that so many businesses really fail to capitalise on their own home grown talent. I relish working with businesses and their people to help realise that potential: to see the light bulb switch on and continue to burn brightly when self belief, knowledge and confidence surges through and is embedded in the organisation. I passionately believe that spending time and effort on people is the real way to transform business, add sustainable value and make a compelling difference.”

Fiona Murie

Fiona is an accomplished team leader and consultant with experience of working in and with a range of public and private sector organisations to deliver sustainable change and results. Fiona has 27 years working with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) in a range of senior roles from operational and project management to strategy development and implementation. Fiona spent over two years in the DWP’s internal management consultancy prior to establishing her own consulting company.

In addition to a large number of Public and Private Sector assessor accreditations Fiona holds an MBA from Leeds Metropolitan University, is a Prince2 Practitioner, a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Step 1 and 2 Practitioner, an Associate of the National School of Government, a Certified Management Consultant and a Fellow of the Institute of Management Consultancy.

In her own words: “I’m delighted to join such a talented team and very much look forward to working with PI’s existing customers and promoting our services to help further develop the business.”

Barrie is a Certified Management Consultant and a Member of the Institute of Management Consultancy (IMC); he chairs the IMC’s Professional Development Review Group.

In his own words: “I get a buzz from contributing to beneficial change in organisations and my passion is developing people to succeed at challenging things. I am never surprised that almost without exception they can do far more than they believe possible. My credo is to help them to focus on customer value and how to achieve it. I follow the advice of a chinese proverb ‘Tell me and I`ll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I`ll understand’. My approach to change is focused clearly on getting people everywhere, on the ground and in the Board Room the success and rewards they deserve.”
