The work together will comprise: • Review any Ofwat documents you feel are relevant to our work to provide suggestions and challenge to help improve their design and/or delivery. • Eight sessions (typically 60-90 minutes, every two to four weeks) to discuss progress, share ideas, work out how to overcome obstacles. I will give you ways to structure your thinking, guidance, ideas, lessons from others in similar roles, encouragement and accountability. I will pro-actively bring my own experience of working with other leaders to highlight areas of focus too, as well as tools and frameworks. We will focus on these topics (identified at this stage and subject to change): o How to be more agile 'in the moment' - especially when there are differences of views or conflict. o How to develop and use a powerful narrative about the strategy for Ofwat - to inform priorities and activities. o How to develop, empower, and incentivise your SLT and the wider leadership to enhance their performance. o How to strengthen your brand and reputation in the industry, Government, and wider stakeholders. • The use of a portfolio of tools that can help you prioritise your time, make the best decisions, and convey (and execute) your priorities effectively. This will include your personal narrative and talking points on strategy and culture. • Feedback on your impact and style when you are giving three virtual presentations (e.g. to stakeholders or Ofwat), assuming they are recorded. • Rehearse you and/or role play you for two important moments - whether a presentation to the Board, a meeting with a stakeholder - to help anticipate likely questions and identify any changes to your content or style. • Give you access to me in between on an as needs basis, e.g. on email, text or call, to discuss an issue, as well as my network as agreed.
