As a strategy execution professional, I offer a pragmatic approach to strategy development generally driven by the need to better align executives’ ambitions to the business’ vision and objectives. This is achieved through facilitation, collaboration with senior and functional teams, and the application of a robust portfolio management methodology. I also ensure that strategies are actually implemented, rather than merely discussed, and I am experienced in kick-starting, turning around or co-ordinating the delivery of strategic initiatives through the rigorous application of programme and project management techniques. I get to the root cause of the issue and bring the objectivity and challenge necessary to the development of an effective path toward the achievement of the intended objectives. I recognise the power of leveraging in-house team’s capabilities and I understand the intricacies of getting things done in an environment of ambiguity, complexity and resistance to change. My approach is insight-led, rigorous and quality driven, with a systematic focus on bridging the gap between strategic development and benefits realisation.Testimonials:“I see you as a strategic business partner. I just don’t think there is enough of that kind of quality thinking, and if there is, then it is just really expensive, as it generally comes with a Deloitte stamp.” (MAG-O CEO)“If you bring Fred in, he will prepare you Board-ready material. He will make your life easier and he will make you look good. It’s pretty simple!” (AMP Capital Investment Director)“I value your strategic thinking and your solid process. It gives me comfort you will get to the heart of the issue and navigate a way to a solution.” (STN Airport COO)“Not being on the payroll allows Fred to bring objectivity and challenge, but if a visitor to your business met him, they would think he’s one of your own because he is willing to immerse himself in the client’s reality.” (MAN Airport COO)“The services that we have procured have been value for money and have greatly assisted us in making our organisation better.
