Organisational consultancy

My approach to consultancy

I’m not going to tell you what you expect to hear.

My first aim in any consultancy is to work out what problem actually needs solving by acting as a critical friend and questioning everything I’m told.  A problem solver is no good to you if you've mis-identified the problem. 

I take a systems approach to understanding a challenge — looking for complex interactions rather than simple linear explanations that might lead to unintended consequences. 

All this means that, when I propose solutions, it will often be as a result of reframing the problem.
