Nicola was a highly valued member of our successful bid team for this high profile local government commission. She blended very well with the team, operating very effectively in a pressured and highly dynamic environment. Nicola challenged conventional thinking and maintained a real focus on outcomes, including those required for a positive customer/end user experience. She brought a natural curiosity for continuous improvement and good practice to the team, sharing her experience from other industries. She was very pragmatic in advising on how to land new behaviours into the commission to improve the bottom line.
