Sue Johnson Gregory: Empowering Change

Discovering a Collaborative Culture

Sue Johnson Gregory’s journey with Partners in Change (PiC) began through a professional connection who recognised her passion for change management. Drawn to PiC’s collaborative ethos and its promise of meaningful impact, Sue was eager to contribute to an organisation that aligned with her values. “I was inspired by PiC’s emphasis on partnership”, Sue recalls, “and the opportunity to work alongside clients in a way that resonated with my own approach.”

Empowered by PiC’s Unique Support

Transitioning to her role as an associate, Sue experienced first-hand PiC’s exceptional support. From onboarding to project execution, PiC’s Delivery Directors ensured Sue had everything she needed to succeed. Structured engagement plans, team rehearsals, and open collaboration gave her confidence in tackling complex client challenges. “The guidance and assurance from PiC’s leadership were invaluable”, Sue says. “I felt like an integral part of the team, not just another contractor. Whether it was the structured approach to projects or the inclusive culture, PiC consistently went above and beyond to support me.”

Driving Transformative Change for Clients

Sue’s work with her recent clients has exemplified PiC’s commitment to excellence. Acting as a trusted advisor and critical friend, Sue spearheaded initiatives that bridged gaps between technical teams and business operations. From developing change roadmaps to implementing continuous improvement strategies, her efforts empowered clients to navigate complex transitions with confidence.

PiC’s Inclusive Culture: A Foundation for Success

Sue credits much of her success to PiC’s inclusive and supportive culture. Beyond professional guidance, PiC fostered a sense of belonging through team events, face-to-face gatherings, and thoughtful gestures like holiday hampers. “PiC’s inclusivity isn’t just a talking point, it’s a lived experience”, she says. This supportive environment also extended to professional growth. PiC encouraged Sue to take ownership of change management, enabling her to refine her expertise and become a key player in shaping client outcomes.

Advice for Future Associates

To those considering joining PiC, Sue offers this insight: “PiC isn’t just a consultancy; it’s a community. The team values your individuality and supports you at every step. Don’t hesitate to connect with others within the company; you’ll find a wealth of knowledge and camaraderie to help you thrive.”

Looking Ahead

As Sue reflects on her two years with PiC, she’s eager to continue contributing to its success. Beyond her consultancy work, Sue is passionate about giving back to the community through voluntary roles with Heart of England Mencap and the Samaritans. She also cherishes her role as a mum to two amazing teenage daughters, balancing her professional and personal passions with inspiring dedication. “I hope the legacy of collaboration and trust I’ve built will keep driving results for PiC’s clients,” she shares. Sue also envisions taking on new challenges, including shaping pre-engagement plans and contributing to client proposals.
