“Rarely have I found an external consultant able to add so much value in such a short period and, at the same time, make me enjoy the experience. Your blend of expertise, experience and communication skill is an exemplar. You have helped me/my colleagues transform the way that we are going to work round here. Line management, our shareholders and our customers will benefit, considerably. It is not often that I say THANK YOU and really mean it. This time I do, and that is evidenced by the fact that I am already telling colleagues in other companies (not our competitors!) that they could equally benefit from a session with PK. I don't do that too often. So - THANKS!”

“The coaching session this morning was excellent. Everybody enjoyed the session and learned a lot. I was impressed with your skills in adapting the presentation to our organization and in giving examples, which are relevant to our "business”. Again,
thank you so much for the excellent service you provided our organization

“Strong views were expressed from several presenters that you are not a 'real' HR Business Partner unless you are intimately familiar with your business issues such as financial performance. Highlighting this theme - and one of the top talks of the day - was Paul Kearns from the Personnel Works. He talked of absence measures, training measures, recruitment measures and all the other usual suspects of operational HR measurement as being relatively unimportant. To Paul the bottom line was all, and how right he is. He discussed aligning HR strategy to the business strategy and most importantly how the Return on Investment (ROI) in HR is ultimately measured by the performance of the company and how much value has been added. His delivery was relaxed yet challenging and I - along with the rest of the conference - was hanging on to his every word.”

“Our second speaker was Paul Kearns of Personnel Works. As always, he was able to produce thought-provoking and entertaining material in his presentation, “Evaluation is a Training Design Tool - Not a Post-Mortem”. Paul himself referred to his style as “leading edge common sense”, a sentiment with which most, if not all, the audience agreed. He emphasised the point that trainers and evaluators should be thinking about evaluation before designing any training intervention and posed the question, “Before we ask questions about the skills gap, shouldn't we ask about the business gap?” Paul presented a number of models, including his Baseline Evaluation Model, the Business- Focused Training Framework” and “The 3 Box System” of “Must Have”, “Added Value” and “Nice to Have” training. This interesting presentation has prompted the National Training Evaluation Strategy Working Group to plan to reconvene in the New Year in order to revisit and discuss the issues raised.”
