SMP Solutions Success Guarantee What sets us apart is our friendly and personable approach and our unique SMP Career Navigation Cycle which sits at the heart of everything we do. By establishing the key success factors from our own personal career transition experiences and many of our clients, we have developed a simple process that works and have proven this many hundreds of times, so much so that our Director, Steve Preston, recently published his globally acclaimed and inspirational NEW BOOK 'Winning through Redundancy - Six Steps to Navigate your Way to a Brighter Future', showcasing this very topic! We will work with you using the SMP Career Navigation Cycle to ensure that you start your programme in the right frame of mind, work through each stage in a very logical way that naturally leads you to the next stage and ultimately success! The process will help you tackle your career transition as a project in a very practical way, immediately giving you a sense of purpose! This helps to get you motivated right from the start, also to achieve and maintain focus keeping you on track. We work with you to get to the heart of your career aspirations, starting with a personal development review, to really understand your vision or help you create one, to then unlock and maximise your career potential. We will also utilise our wide ranging networks to open up opportunities for you to achieve the right job or career for you! Life is too short - We will help you transform your life so you look forward to going to work on Mondays, whether employed or self employed!

4. SMP are a team of talented and
passionate people who want to make
a difference.
With backgrounds in management roles
in different sectors, we’ve all changed
jobs, changed careers, changed from
employment to self employment, lived
life after redundancy and started our
own businesses.
We set up SMP because we saw first
hand what helped and what didn’t help
people when experiencing career
transition. We pooled our expertise and
have been working in career
development and transition for 10 years.
During this time, the team have enjoyed
supporting over 10,000 people with
breakthrough career development and
career transition solutions.

career and people development
consultancy who have a sole focus in
helping people and organisations
unlock and fulfil their potential.

7. People, key skills, talent management,
employee engagement, operational
efficiency and ensuring customer service
are high priority during re-structure.
So is the importance of managing the
emotional reactions of people and the
restructuring / change communications
process.
Our expertise and approach guarantees
a positive transition process for people
who are leaving or staying with an
organisation.
When these issues are professionally
managed with honesty and integrity,
this ensures that difficult conversations
and feelings of fear and bitterness are
minimised for people either leaving or
remaining within the organisation.
Showing a caring attitude with correct
HR and legal procedures, providing
professional career transition and
outplacement support for your staff at
this difficult time creates goodwill and
corporate social responsibility.
