Work Wise Adviser Profile - Gail Kirby
I am co-founder and Director of Flexility, a company that we specifically set up to work with organisations that recognise the need to implement flexible and mobile working but need help to make it happen.

Flexility works with IT, Property and HR teams to develop a practical plan, which aligns the priorities of the business with the needs of the workforce.  Our programme focuses on who will benefit most from flexible working, identifies the best fit technologies, develops the business case for doing it and recommends how to implement the change.
  
Flexility has helped public and private sector organisations to identify potential workforce productivity gains of up to 20%, while increasing team morale and loyalty.  In addition to this, our clients have been able to demonstrate a positive 2 -3 year ROI by realising considerable cash savings from property rationalisation, reduced travel time and office overheads.

It is 15 years since I had a dedicated office myself and I have first hand experience of the challenges of working as part of a virtual team. Technology is a key enabler, but it is important to address the people and process issues to make it work.

During my 20 year career in the IT and communications sector, I have held both operational roles (sales, marketing and service) and consultancy roles (business strategy and business process/change).  I have worked with private sector companies such as Vodafone, Accenture, Sony and NCR and a wide range of public sector organisations such as DCSF, Housing Associations (RSL's), London Universities and Business Link. This wealth of experience means that I am well placed to help organisations to introduce right time, right place working.
