“It was a great help to have Linda’s experience, stakeholder engagement skills and Alliance expertise. Her facilitation gave the right amount of challenge and permission to the group to have the conversations we needed and we unlocked some useful and, in some cases surprising, insights.”

“I have been delighted to work with LH Alliances on our journey in Lambeth.  Linda has shared her expertise and knowledge on the principles underpinning and behaviours supporting alliances.  She provided excellent support and facilitation for key partnership meetings. She provided very  helpful ‘critical friend’ challenge to us as commissioners at key points in our journey towards agreeing our first Integrated Support Alliance and our larger more complex Living Well Network Alliance.”

“We could not have done this without Linda. From the beginning she advised us on the collaboration and alliance, always ready to help in person or by phone and in drafting and reviewing materials. Linda was trusted by everyone which meant she could be an independent negotiator for the final detail of the agreement. Managing everyone’s requests in a fair and transparent way for a multiparty contract is no mean feat.”

“Linda is a fount of Alliance knowledge nationally and was able to navigate us through a new way of commissioning to agree on a future system that would work for us locally. 

Her excellent facilitation skills and calm and professional manner were valued in particular during the procurement process and negotiation phase.”

“Linda was able to guide commissioners and partners to successfully take the next steps to coproduce commissioning. She was both aspirational and motivating as well as practical and pragmatic when circumstances required it. Linda was an excellent and industrious guide without whom I am certain the significant progress we made could not have been achieved.”
