Alison Best

As Head of Purpose, Design and Innovation, I have oversight of the new thinking, developments, and approaches to training (including blended and digital learning) across the business. Our Purpose – to create kinder, fairer, more productive workplace – is at the heart of what we do at byrne·dean. It’s vital that everything we do, and how we do it, is aligned with that.

I create and deliver training programmes to improve our clients’ workplaces. I work with senior leaders, HR, L&D and D&I professionals, teams and employees. My background as an employment lawyer means I bring knowledge of the legal and risk framework where needed.

My work is essentially about connecting with people, raising awareness and catalysing change. Whether you want to improve individual and team performance (make sure every employee is engaged, productive, and delivering at their best),manage risk (avoid legal, regulatory and compliance problems); raise leadership competence (enable them to lead more effectively); build skills and confidence (for effective communication and conflict resolution); or embed a culture founded on values and integrity, I design programmes and facilitate training that supports you.
