Testimonials

Loughridge Transformations supported an initiative to realign our Global Business Unit Reporting; they partnered with our team from early design through implementation.
Jennifer and the team did a terrific job facilitating virtual and in-person workshops to receive and consolidate feedback from multiple job functions and regions.  They led the project to gain global alignment on Finance’s future “Ways of Working” and then supported the team through all aspects of implementation.
Their expertise and experience in corporate finance added incredible value to the project.

We used Loughridge Transformations to support our implementation of a new Business Unit-based reporting structure and the impact upon the associated “Ways of Working” within the Finance teams impacted by these changes. Jennifer, ably supported by Woon-Hui and Knut provided us with strong project management as well as helping to communicate and integrate the changes to a large number of people within our Finance teams. Jennifer ensured that we captured and documented the actions needed for success both at the point of change as well as looking forward beyond the implementation date to ensure that we remained on track, with clear visibility of progress and ensuring that ownership and accountability were retained by the business and not by the project team.

I had the pleasure of receiving help from Jennifer, Alison, Knut & Hans on Finance Transformation when my Finance Team was working remotely due to the pandemic. I really appreciated how Jennifer scaled the Loughridge Transformations approach to meet our needs, demonstrating a highly flexible manner of bringing insights and expertise to our set-up. The engagement of my team through virtual working was sensitive and very effective and made for very positive, friendly but impactful and professional interaction. The report-out was very thorough and enabled us to focus on clear, tangible and prioritised actions to implement improvements in both business and finance processes.

We worked together virtually on a global initiative in one of the energy majors – an immense change programme covering all parts of the globe. The project delivery model was with the expectation of excellent standards. All due diligence, design and implementation work has been conceived, managed and guided by virtual means by these team members, among others, linking a global vast task force to the common goal. Virtual capabilities are part of this team’s DNA, enabling what they do best: define, design, implement and manage complex transformations locally and internationally.

I worked virtually with Jennifer for multiple years from Houston, TX.  While the ocean between us is vast, we never had any issues completing our deliverables.  We worked together on business transformation, organisational improvements, waste elimination and other types of efficiency improvements.

Working virtually actually helped us bring a broader diverse perspective, given our different cultural surroundings.  Each deliverable exceeded both timeline and expectations improving cross-organisational delivery.  It was really fun and cool working with Jennifer virtually.

The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) is on a transformation journey to become an international NGO and needs the finance and operational systems and processes that can support this. I was concerned that we would jump to a new IT platform without thinking through the people and process changes required to facilitate improvement. After a competitive tender exercise, we selected Loughridge Transformations to deliver the continuous improvement and project management skills that I needed to define the problem and solution space and develop a prioritised action plan for implementation. I would recommend Alison, Jennifer and the team for their expertise in applying Lean Six-Sigma methodology to optimise processes, propose IT platform solutions to current pain points, as well as considering wider change management implications, including connections and team effectiveness.

I worked with Jennifer for three years as a Senior Finance Continuous Improvement Specialist. Over the period, I was part of a team comprising about 30 members at its peak, sitting in the United States, Canada, several European countries (the UK, the Netherlands, Norway, Germany), Brazil, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and India, with Jennifer as our Manager.It never felt like a virtual team. The combination of Jennifer’s top-notch virtual management skills and our deployment of world-class collaboration tools ensured delivery was seamless regardless of the many borders, time zones and cultures between the team members. Jennifer coached the team into being a well-oiled delivery machine, oblivious of its otherwise limitations. Through her leadership and unhindered by the virtual working environment, Jennifer achieved outstanding success in meeting and surpassing the team’s goals. Her legacy kept the team thriving for years. I have no doubts whatsoever of her ability to succeed in operating virtually or face-to-face.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with both Alison and Jennifer in a virtual class setting. A friend and I participated together in the Insights Discovery™ Program.  Using a virtual platform enabled all four of us to come together without problem from four different countries.  This was an especially unique time, as COVID-19 had barred most international travel. I’m eager to put my new insights into use, not only in a community setting but also in engaging with my older teenagers and upon resumption into the working world again.

I was pleased to have the opportunity to work with Jennifer and Alison on the Insights Discovery™ Personal Profile programme. The concept of ‘colour energies’ has enabled me to understand, at a deep level, my own personal preferences and resulting strengths and weaknesses. Just as importantly, this course shows you how to adapt your own behaviour to take into account the colour energies of those around you. As someone who has been an expatriate out of the workplace for over a decade, the course was both fun and practical. It would greatly benefit anyone considering a return to work or a career change; it has also helped me understand why some overseas placements have been easier to adjust to than others!

Alison is an engaging and sensitive facilitator, and we experienced no problems using virtual conferencing across two continents and four timezones. I highly recommend. 

I was working with Jennifer and many of her team on multiple projects – most of the time, virtually or across different timezones. This team has, without any doubt, strong capability and expertise to keep the audience focused, offers a large variety of tools to drive content delivery and also keep a line of sight from an overall project management perspective. It has been one of the greatest virtual teams I was privileged to work with!
