Hello - I'm Helen.
I've worked in both executive leadership and board level management consulting roles for 2 decades. Construction has been my home for the last 8 years, working for leading specialist contractors, a principal contractor and industry organisations.
It's an industry I love and I work with some of the most inspiring people I've ever met.
Because my world before construction was in data-led markets (digital, marketing and tech) I've seen what's possible when leadership and culture is set up to expect change and structured for continuous improvement.
That's why I challenge the status quo and inspire ambition about what is genuinely possible for us in construction. Some of our legacy ways of working are just not future proof.
I have a no nonsense approach. Just direct, honest, clear planning and actions to help you achieve your ambitions for your business or function. No matter what they are.
I add experienced strategic leadership to your team and business operations.
What we work on, is up to you!
Helen Gawor, Building Strategy
Construction is going through the biggest period of change since the Industrial Revolution. Let's make adapting to this reality much easier...
Because I understand this industry - where it is and where it needs to be, I quickly get to the heart of issues and can help you start shifting the dial quickly.
Every business is different. You need something tailored to your specific goals or challenges. But have a look at what I can do to get an idea of my areas of expertise.
I deliver empowering, inspiring presentations on topics that will change our industry. Highly visual, highly engaging and guaranteed to leave a lasting impression with your audience.
Keynotes include:
Or brief me on a topic that fits your agenda.
It takes a while for other consultants to get their head round why we do things the way we do in construction. The commercial dynamics, the culture, the resource limitations, etc. I'm already there and have experienced this first hand myself. So, I hit the ground running. Fast.
Improving business operations strategically is all about the implementation. Most consultants deliver a powerpoint telling you what to do. I help you implement. That is the hardest part, so not the point I walk away. There may be some slides - but that's not the outcome!
Every business has challenges to overcome and opportunities they are missing. Your intuition or results are telling you that there's room for improvement, or something isn't working. But you can't quite identify it. You need an experienced pair of eyes and ears. You need someone who is easy to work with, that your team will trust. I can help you trouble shoot or find how we drive improvement or growth.
