CASE STUDIES
Blue Sage Support offers project management as well as traditional PA services.
Some examples of our project management work are detailed here:
CASE STUDY: Implement new HR information system.
​
CLIENT: The Whisper Group. A sports, unscripted and branded entertainment production company.
BRIEF: Manage the process of setting up a new HRIS system and onboarding staff.
​
HOW WE HELPED: Blue Sage coordinated with the Head of HR & other key stakeholders to ensure the system was set up in the correct way for the business. We then rolled out a training & comms plan, onboarding 200+ staff.
​
CLIENT QUOTE: “Blue Sage partnered with us to implement a brand new HRIS platform. Easy you might say - but not really… given the pace and complexity of the business and tight deadlines involved. Jemma dealt with these challenges as a pro and quickly became the authority on the project itself - from understanding stakeholders needs and wants for the platform, configuring the platform and overcoming limitations, testing, to producing training materials for launch - Jemma’s drive and focus kept the project on track - she even became the platform’s tech guru in the process!
The platform has transformed our employee operations - we’re able to automate many HR processes, deliver a great experience for employees, managers (and new hires) via their own self-service dashboard, and we can easily report and draw meaningful insights from our people data like never before. ” Isabel Forbes, Former Head of People

During the six month timeline Jemma really got to know the format and understand what would work well in keeping with the brand.
