Profile bio
About Jonathan Hardy
I developed a passion for change management a few years ago – specifically the people aspects – and that’s where my career focus has been since, working within the largest global Pharmacy, Health, Wellness & Beauty enterprise.Spending four years working with Walgreens in the US enabled me to take my interest and experience to new heights – working globally and cross-divisionally to devise and execute the people and change strategy for a major Retail Transformation Programme (SAP enabled) – to deliver process efficiency, cash savings and profit growth within the WBA organisation.How do you prepare a large organisation to implement major changes that impact the way people do their jobs? How do you manage key stakeholders, communicate and engage with over 3000 external suppliers, 9500 stores and all Support Office colleagues ahead of a national roll-out program across all US states? How do you motivate and sustain engagement within a global project team of over 500 people in a multi-year program? As the people and change lead for Walgreens that was my role working in partnership with external consultants. My career path started at the sharp end - buying, developing and marketing products for Boots and associated companies. So I have a solid commercial grounding. Increasing involvement in change projects - initially as a subject matter expert applying my operational business knowledge - quickly evolved into regular project roles working with business teams to lead, develop, plan, enable and deliver significant strategic change activities including. My interest has extended externally - I supported Engage for Success for a number of years, a voluntary movement promoting employee engagement as a better way to work (a key aspect of any business change activity). A learning curve for me - a chance to network and learn from others and an opportunity to transfer my skills to a not-for-profit organisation.My specialities include:• Leadership• Team leader• Team working• Remote working (oversees)• Stakeholder management• Communications and engagement• Employee engagement• Project delivery• Project planning• Results driven• Interpersonal skillsLooking forward to adding value to companies going through significant change in the future - applying, developing and sharing the skills I have learnt.This maybe part-time through a portfolio of roles and activities that also enable me to further develop my previous experience in not-for-profit work.
