“I just wanted to say thank you.I think you’ve already added loads of value and that will only continue.” 

“It has been really valuable to have you review progress, get some assurance that we are making good progress and clear advice on where we should be focused in the next stage.” 

“Thank you for completing this work for us, it has been immensely valuable, we have all found it beneficial.” 

“Thanks, Carla. Well done on your presentation today which I thought was really well judged and enabled people to get behind you. You did a very good job of chairing a very tricky and politically charged meeting.” 

“Wow, you’re coming up to speed quickly! These updates are hugely helpful – great to know what you are focusing on and the progress being made.” 

“I think you are a real talent and enjoyed our time together very much.” 

“I worked with Carla during her independent review of DfE. She very quickly got to grips with a complex public sector organisation,  she brought a refreshing and engaging attitude to her work using effectively the staff in our organisation to understand the task she had been set. She then brought real precision and synthesis to those problems giving clear recommendations which can be acted upon. I would welcome the chance to work with Carla again.” 

“Carla, it was a fantastically well put together report  – encapsulating all the challenges and failures. [We] will fight like tigers to see at least some of it implemented.  But you MUST stay involved. Your oversight will be crucial.”
