What I do

Picture
I have been involved in transforming organisations with systemic design for over 20 years. Starting in creative engineering, spent formative years with Hilton International and in manufacturing. After obtaining an MBA, then worked in ABB, where the complexity of the reality of efficient and effective rapid operations became all too clear. I become exposed to national and international management and change projects.

With Vanguard Consulting, the methodologies of systems thinking, the principles of the strength based liberated method, lean and service design were developed. Especially being able to understand an organisation, together with its people and behaviours. Working with a multitude of different organisations, and very good consultants, gave me the experience and confidence to assess  develop flexible approaches to the challenges that real organisations face.

Design Thinking, Systemic Design and Organisational Design are increasingly incorporating systems thinking and complexity to ensure its relevancy in modern organisations. Test and learn is the iterative approach that underpins this work.
