Head of Innovation and Change Management

  • My expertise

    I’ve worked in many industries including logistics, automotive, central government, aerospace & defence, healthcare, and financial services. Each has involved fascinating challenges across people, process, and technology and lessons learnt in one sector have more often than not been transferable to others.

    I’ve worked in most parts of the solution delivery life-cycle, in the early days from analysis and design to software engineering, enterprise architecture and IT Strategy to Business Architecture and Organisational Development. Since 2005 I’ve focussed on innovation, acting mostly in advisory roles or facilitating others in aligning on the best way forward in a difficult situation. I believe that all problems lie in people, as do all solutions, and invest a significant amount of my time in coaching and mentoring. Every solution involves change and helping people manage change is key to successful innovation.

    My interest is in the leading edge and that’s what’s characterised most of my projects. Be it new technologies or novel business models, I have worked with many inspiring clients that had a real appetite for progress.

    My goal is to create sustainable, game changing innovation that turns ideas and ideals into value. I work with people to develop better understanding of their needs, aspirations and potential and how this relates to the bigger picture, working with them to explore options and resolve tensions to make balanced decisions about how to proceed in realising their vision and making it sustainable.
