Our Team
At the hub of our organisation is a small, flexible team supported by an expanding network of associates nationwide. These associates are drawn into assignments as and when their expertise - or location - is significant.
Nicky Spencer, MBA BSc (Hons) MIHM is the first point of contact for all clients, and responsible for developing Accomplice in line with clients’ expressed needs. An Advisory Board supports her in this role and in monitoring the quality of work delivered.
Bringing a wealth of experience from an already successful career within the public and voluntary sectors, Nicky Spencer entered the private sector arena in 1999, establishing her own independent consultancy.
Accomplished in the design and implementation of strategies, plans, and projects, Nicky’s independent perspective and pragmatic approach to any challenge has benefited a range of organisations. Familiar with all sectors and used to working with a range of professionals, she adapts her style to suit the situation - advisor, trainer, facilitator, coach or interim manager.
Nicky’s Continual Professional Development record includes: PRINCE Project Management I; CIPD Facilitation Skills; CMPS Organisation Development; IHM Six Sigma. Nicky is an active member of the Institute of Healthcare Management.
Accomplice now builds upon Nicky’s extensive expertise, style, reputation and reliable track record in management and consultancy.
