About Me
I am a management consultant specialising in change management, organisation design, people development, performance and reward systems design and culture change. In plain English, I help companies manage situations where people are an important factor.
I started out in the mid eighties, working mostly with manufacturing companies on business process re-engineering and various aspects of strategy. By the mid nineties I was engaged in a wide variety of consulting work in a broad range of industry sectors for companies located across Europe, North America and India.
I have specialised from the outset in people consulting, but have continued to maintain a broad range of generalist business and management skills, including taking on line manager, programme manager and account manager roles.
My preferred approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive - I like to work with the people who 'own' the problem, and the people it affects, so that solutions stem from their knowledge and understanding of the situation. I also believe in keeping things simple - I've seen too much time and money spent on complex approaches that have achieved very little.
I have included a conventional CV as a separate page elsewhere in the website, but to conclude this page here are some quotes taken from written feedback on my work from clients, project managers, colleagues and appraisers:
"…is a valued member of any team he is part of"
"…brought professionalism, thoroughness and creativity to the project"
"…a highly valued resource, whose presence is anticipated by the team each week. His input has ensured the team has made the progress it has"
"… a great help in our re-engineering programme - open and honest, certainly the best consultant in our team"
"…has developed excellent relationships from shop floor to Group Engineering Director"
"…has demonstrated an ability to recognise and adopt the [client's] organisation culture and personal styles and to then adapt his delivery to ensure people are brought along without conflict or damage to relationships"
"…is seen as an expert and a leader in his field and has acted as a coach and mentor to everyone in the team at some point"
"…a true professional and can be relied upon to deliver high quality results"
"…is able to adapt his approach according to his audience and is very perceptive about what exactly is required"
