Wendy Manning, Independent Consultant

Optimizing People + Process for Real Results

WHAT WE DO

My consulting work focuses on organizational design, workforce planning, HR modernization, program strategy, and business process improvement. I’ve managed multimillion-dollar budgets, scaled organizations from 130 to over 350 staff, led high-stakes compliance efforts, and implemented systems that improved service delivery to over 1,400 employees.

Whether standing up a client services model for a large federal agency or resolving a legal compliance project impacting thousands of constituents, I bring a structured, collaborative, and outcomes-driven approach to solving complex challenges.
