Examples of Work

Global Aerospace Company
Designed and facilitated a range of initiatives geared to introduce complexity management principles to the company’s senior global team in order to stimulate debate and the close examination of long established practices, so as to improve communications, cut down on bureaucracy, introduce more innovation and improve the bottom line.

Leading Edge Engineering Design Practice
Designed and implemented an in-depth look at the company’s current organisation structure and related management processes from a complexity management based perspective. This involved a range of one to one and group interviews with all levels of staff and an agreed open feedback process on the findings and their implications for the future development and management of the company.

Global Pharmaceutical Company
Worked with the senior team responsible for the effective merger of two significant support service functions: introducing complexity management ideas and practices in order to ensure the streamlining of operations, encourage improved communications and enhanced working relationships and subsequently, cut costs.

Higher Education
Designed and facilitated a range of initiatives and events on leadership and change for senior management teams in a significant number of higher education organisations.

NHS Trust
Worked closely with managers in an NHS Trust to facilitate a self organising approach to the management of the Trust’s services to improve cross departmental collaboration and improved patient care.
