Snow Limits Consulting Ltd

What is important to make sure you kick off your project successfully?

• A structured and well thought out plan.
• A realistic timeline.
• A comprehensive risk and impact assessment.
• All the key stakeholders are agreed on what the project will deliver.
• You’ve identified the skills you need to deliver the project.
• A team with those skills that know how to communicate well with each other.
• You have a structure in place to track and monitor project progress.

If you are starting a restructuring project and all this sounds like hard work, we’ve developed something to make it much easier for you.

A toolkit that contains everything you need to effectively plan your project, without the need to create all the spreadsheets and templates from scratch. All you need to do is drop in your business-specific information.

If you combine this with one of our project kick-off sessions, where we work with your project team to identify how they like to communicate and how they are motivated, you’ve got an excellent start to your project.

It costs upwards of £42k for a day rate HR project management consultant to support you for the first 12 weeks of your restructuring project.

That’s usually at a time when you are seeking to reduce operating costs.

One thing I quickly realised is that if you are running a restructure, you don’t need someone 5 days a week to coordinate or plan it – unless it’s massive.

Most of the restructures I’ve delivered only take up to a maximum of 3 days of my time. It’s not because they are small – anywhere from 100 – 600 employees. It’s because I bring a wealth of experience and a full toolkit to get you up and running quickly.

I have created a product and a service that can help you not spend the £42k:

• A restructuring project toolkit which comes with between 6 – 16 hours of HR project manager support, depending on the level chosen and costs a maximum of £10.5k +VAT. Perfect for smaller restructuring projects or where your team just needs to upskill in project management.

• Get Project Ready – 12 weeks of HR project management support, to help you get your project planned and up and running quickly. The project can then either be managed by your internal HR team, or we can help you manage it on an ongoing basis. This service costs from £27.5k +VAT.

If this more flexible support sounds like it is what you need, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Planning a restructure can be costly it’s not just the potential redundancy costs, the resource to deliver the process can add to your costs at a time when cost reduction is a key focus.

That’s why I came up with the restructuring toolkit. Not everyone is in the position to recruit a HR project manager or has the spare budget for £42k for a consultant, for the 12 weeks it might take to deliver the project.

The restructuring toolkit allows you to get the best of both worlds. You get the experience of a HR project manager, who has been planning and delivering restructuring activity for the past 5 years, without the need to recruit me.

All my experience is bundled into a toolkit that helps you or a member of your team manage the restructuring process, using my tried and tested methods.

You can feel confident knowing the process works, is compliant and is packaged so that you can use it to help improve your teams project management skills, without risking the project’s success.

Restructuring will always be uncomfortable, but you don’t have to come out as the villain ...

When restructures are poorly handled, as HR professionals, we know the damage goes beyond the redundancy costs; everyone blames the senior leadership team, or HR are turned into the bad guys/girls. Nobody wants to lose their job, but a well-handled process can make everyone feel respected and valued in a tough situation.

How do you do that?

Invest enough time in the planning phase.

Train the managers holding the consultations not just on the process but also on resilience and handling emotions.

Assess the impact on employees early and look at ways to mitigate the impact.

Consider outplacement support e.g. CV writing, interview skills training.

If this is the first time you’ve handled this type of situation or it’s on a larger scale we have three ways to help.

Restructuring rarely goes to plan; people are involved, and it will get messy. They will ask questions you haven’t got an answer for, they might react in a way you hadn’t foreseen, and emotions will run high.

That’s why having a robust plan at the start is vital. You don’t want to be dealing with this, whilst desperately planning what needs to be done.

It doesn’t have to take months to plan, but it does require a structured approach to make sure you’ve covered everything.

That’s where our restructuring toolkit can help. It gives you:
- A tried and tested process to follow.
- A structured approach to managing your project.
- All the tools and documents you need to deliver the project successfully.
- Time to focus on the important things like the communications, supporting the employees, and safeguarding employee engagement because you’re not creating spreadsheets and templates.
- A qualified HR project manager to help with your unanswered questions.
- A cost effective way to get your project up and running quickly.

Projects don’t usually fail because people don’t care ... they struggle because there’s too much going on and not enough structure.

Common signs of this problem:
- Everyone is busy, but progress feels slow
- Decisions are revisited, again and again and again
- Stakeholders are unclear on what is happening
- The project team aren’t sure what is urgent and what isn’t
- You’re holding the key information in your head
- Sound familiar?

The good news is this can be fixed with solid project management basics, a clear scope, realistic timelines and regular communication.

No project is perfect, but with our project toolkits, I help you create calmer, more controlled ones.

“How am I going to manage that on top of everything else I’ve got to do?”

Have you been landed with an organisation design and restructuring project?

Your diary is already rammed, and you don’t have a team to help, or if you do, you dread telling them that there’s another project to deliver, on top of their day job.

You might have the budget, but not the time to recruit a Project Manager.

If this describes how your week is going, our new restructuring toolkit could be the answer you are looking for.

It helps you plan and implement your restructure using a set of tried and tested project plans and templates. Saving you over 2.5 weeks of work planning and creating everything you need for this project.

Unlike other toolkits, it also includes time with me, an experienced project manager, to help you get up and running quickly and avoid common project problems before they happen.

Want to find out more? Message me to get a full overview of what the toolkits contain and how they work.

Restructuring will always be difficult, but you can still look after yourself and your people through the process.

Whilst we appreciate it is an emotional time for all involved, what I see happening is that we train Managers on the legals and process, but we don’t give them or the HR team supporting the process any training on emotional resilience.

It’s a stressful time, often being managed on top of the day job. We are having difficult conversations with our colleagues who we’ve built relationships with. If you don’t find that difficult or uncomfortable you’re not an empathetic leader.

If you do then often there’s not much support through the process.

I have been developing some tools to help:
- A restructuring toolkit – that provides all the documents and tools to plan a well thought through restructure, that is legally compliant and will save you time and energy.
- A training session for the managers tasked with holding the consultations that includes not just the legals, but also how to handle their emotional resilience through the restructuring process.

If these sound interesting, you can sign up to the waitlist for the restructuring toolkit using the link below or message me.

“M𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 – 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗹𝘆"

This is the tip from Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner's book How Big Things Get Done.

What they mean is that for your project to be implemented quickly, you need to take time in the planning stage. Restructures often don’t have much time to plan, as the Finance Director wants to see savings hitting the bottom line ASAP.

Rushing the planning phase often results in you replanning whilst you are trying to implement, adding more stress to an already stressful situation.

We will be launching a new Restructuring Project Toolkit, which will help you speed up the slow part of your project. It saves you at least 16 days of time creating project and communication plans, templates and compliant documents.

𝗜𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻:

😀 Use the saved time to focus on creating clear and compelling messages that land as well, rather than creating spreadsheets.

🤓 Focus on your strategy for supporting your employees through the process.

🧑🏫 Take time to train your managers to deliver the process and messages with empathy.
