encourage group creativity…

partners2 is a small professional consultancy business, that was launched by its two directors Deborah Betts and Sarah West earlier this year. They have over 20years consulting experience between them and decided that the time was right to put this to the test and set up their own consulting business, specialising in organisational development. They offer consultancy in 4 main areas: Organisational Change, Leadership Development, Team Development and Creative Facilitation.

partners2 is based in the Northwest as Deborah and Sarah live in Rossett and Wilmslow respectively.

A note from Sarah West:

"our mission is to work in partnership with our customers hence the reason for choosing our name. We endeavor to listen carefully to your needs to deliver bespoke solutions to best meet your specific circumstances.

We view creative facilitation as our unique selling point that differentiates us from other OD consultants. We can draw upon a number of different techniques that help to bring the best ideas out of people, manage group dynamics, and structure and organise thinking that make our workshops a productive and valuable use of time. We combine this key skill with our experience of organisational change, team development and leadership development to enable us to bring content advice and expertise to our customers in a fun and interactive way. Listen to what our customers have to say:

"Barclays Information Security asked Deborah to facilitate a number of workshops and events as part of an ongoing organisation review. We were very impressed by her friendly charm and professional approach in bringing together security experts with differing opinions and creating an environment to deliver results. As a facilitator Deb uses a range of techniques to ensure delegates contribute in a meaningful, structured and committed way and proved to be excellent value for money."
Angus Burden, Head of Barclays IT Security.

"I was impressed with your knowledge of organisational issues and managing change, your expertise in this field is apparent" You took the emotion out of the day and concentrated on what we want to achieved from the day."
Dean Jones- Divisonal Manager The Funding Corporation

"Without the skills of Partners2, we would have been debating this for days. They took away the politics, kept us focused and maintained a controlled environment for the duration of the day. They extracted our ideas and we now have a set of prioritised issues and actions that we can progress internally. They enabled us to achieve our objectives."
Gary Solomon, Systems Manager - The Funding Corporation
