SUMS’ stakeholder engagement and approach to the build has been consultative and one of co-creation, completely in line with the ethos of building a better, more engaging employee experience for our people. SUMS has spent time and care ensuring that the delivery is culture-fit as well as future-fit – not an easy thing to do.
Mark Hamilton, Director of Talent, Culture and Inclusion, university of Derby
You ran an excellent workshop which I really enjoyed and the team have been incredibly positive about it. The fact that we have a clear idea of next steps and a much better understanding of what we, as a team, need to do is a great outcome of this work. I and the team wanted you to know how grateful we are for the obvious work and attention that you have put into supporting our team mobilisation.
