About Sarah Williams

People are often surprised to hear I used to be an accountant. I still love numbers. But I gave up a lifetime of spreadsheets when I realised numbers didn’t run a business. I was working for a manufacturing company when I was asked to lead a TQM implementation project. It involved working with every team across the business to help them find ways to do things more efficiently. I provided the numbers to quantify the savings and the system to implement the changes. At the time I was famous for saying, ‘Give me a set of financial statements and I’ll tell you what’s wrong with this business.’ But during this project I had an epiphany. I had it all wrong. It wasn’t the numbers that drove the business; the power was with the people. From then, I couldn’t keep working with just the numbers. I realised that if I wanted to create real change (which I did!) I had to work with the people. The course of my life changed and now I am recognised as a top organisational culture professional, both in New Zealand and overseas. I work across multiple disciplines to design and facilitate transformation in organisations of all sizes. This requires change and innovation, so I work closely with clients to take them to the cutting edge, and change the culture to support that. In short, I help improve companies, while making a positive difference to those who work there and the economies within which they interact. I love the privilege of changing people’s lives for the better. WHY PEOPLE HIRE ME – MY ZONE OF GENIUS🏆 Change Champion🎇 Business transformation🧬 Organisational development (specialising in Company Culture)💡
