Wendy McLean #Kudos The pride you take in your work is truly inspiring #GoingAboveAndBeyond
Thank you Wendy. It has been such a privilege to work with such a talented person.
Outstanding communication skills proven by explaining complex data strategy to the team. We’re now all experts!
Your in depth knowledge of Dynamics, in particular the HR elements and compensation, has been invaluable and second to none.
You will be a true asset to the next project that snaps you up. Very best of luck and hope I’m lucky enough to work with you again.

I have had the pleasure of working with Wendy on a number of HR and AX based projects and without a doubt I can say she is very knowledgeable, driven, methodical and assertive. Wendy is the type of person you want on your project team who will question the status quo and drive success. She will challenge the implementation and delivery method to ensure it is fit for purpose and robust. She has excellent knowledge in HR data migration and the tools which surround this process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wendy for any HR AX/data specialist role.

It has been a real pleasure working with Wendy and watching her experience cut through the noise and enable both the Data Migration function but also the mentoring of client resources with her functional knowledge of HR and Payroll.
Wendy could navigate through a complex programme delivery and help the client develop their understanding of their HR Data alongside D365FO. Wendy was a critical member of the team, though an HR FC, she very quickly rolled up her sleeves and took on the techniques we were using to analyse data for its integrity so to migrate it to the new system.
Patrick Alleyne
Wendy was commissioned in 2000 to build a human resources database for a newly created strategic public body. Microsoft Access was the application used to develop this database. With input from principle users Wendy quickly grasped what was required and set about producing a database fit for our needs. Wendy was able to provide us with a database ideally suited to our requirements and in addition to the initial build, Wendy provided maintenance and further development of the system for over 5 years. During this time we also requested a similar database to manage our recruitment function and again this was delivered to our satisfaction. Wendy also worked with officers to build a suite of reports for management information purposes. The system development was all fully documented and this was used as a basis for the GLA to develop its specification for a full tender exercise when the decision was taken to purchase a fully fledged industry standard database. Without Wendy's help over the years we would not have been able to achieve many of our data reporting requirements. Patrick Alleyne, Senior Human Resources Manager

Wendy worked with me on the DEFRA / RPA Project and arrived at a time when confidence in the HR work stream was at a low ebb and the business was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with results leading up to Go Live. Wendy's professionalism, technical knowledge, versatility and customer focus helped to address these concerns and enable HR to cross over the line to Go Live and was then on hand to support the challenges that followed during the early months of implementation. It took some effort, determination and perseverance to do this. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wendy for similar roles in the future.

Their product and HR expertise was instrumental in the delivery of Microsoft Dynamics and subsequent enhancements to the configuration of the system that significantly contributed to the ongoing enhancements to the system.
Wendy possesses a deep understanding of HR functional processes and was particularly adept at identifying opportunities for improvement. They actively participated in the design and implementation phases.
One of Wendy's notable strengths is their ability to translate complex business requirements into practical, user-friendly solutions. Their insights and recommendations were crucial in demonstrating enhancements to the functionality and user experience of our product, which will result in increased client satisfaction when implemented.
Throughout their engagement, Wendy exhibited exceptional collaboration and communication skills. They worked seamlessly with cross-functional teams, providing valuable guidance, and fostering a positive working environment.

I am confident that Wendy McLean would be a tremendous asset to any team seeking a skilled HR Functional Consultant. Their commitment to excellence, technical proficiency, and collaborative nature make them a standout professional in their field.
Dean - 2022-2023
I worked with Wendy for 18 months on an upgrade to Dynamics HR, then F&O for HR, then Self Service. Wendy has a detailed knowledge of her subject matter, has a very flexible approach and also provided the skills of functional consultant and a change manager in terms of how best for an organisation to adopt a solution and defining working practices. Excellent team player and gives a clear answer to all detailed questions, very experienced in the field she works in. I liked working with Wendy and would recommend her without qualification.
