My career in organizational effectiveness started in the human resources (HR) departments of various private and public sector organizations in which I worked as an interim HR practitioner.

Reflecting back on what I learned most during this time, I had a good vantage point as an HR professional to observe what exactly makes an organization work effectively or less effectively than others. I worked closely with leaders and managers, delivered HR services to the organization’s people, and negotiated with trade union representatives.

I adopted a commercial, business-focused mindset aligning my work as an HR professional to contribute to the organization’s success e.g. mergers and acquisitions, business transformation programmes, ERP implementation programmes, organization reorganizations and cultural change. I totally immersed myself in the beating heart of the organization or the culture of the organization. Thus I began to form a holistic overview of what makes an organization become truly effective.
