Steve Swann’s Summary

I have a strong belief in the power of creative thinking. I believe that the innovative power of organisations and individuals are unrecognised and untapped. My aim is to open channels into this under-utilized resource (see my blog for more information).

I am a strong communicator, able to present and influence at all levels. I believe in building strong relationships and bring a high degree of integrity to all interactions.

I am a capable Facilitator and Corporate Trainer, constantly evaluating how to get the best value out of the sessions I run.

My most recent role has been in workforce planning and optimization. I have a keen business sense which enables me to integrate and apply an organisation’s strategy. I have a sharp analytical eye with a particular strength in being able to identify, articulate, and deliver tactical and operational benefits.

Key competencies include; Workforce Demand and Capacity planning, Workforce Forecasting, Performance Reporting, Contractor Management.
