Keith Bates Email and Phone Number
Ex-Google | Oxford University MBA | Ex-British Army OfficerI'm all about helping people to learn and grow, so that they can better help others. In doing so they can drive organisational business outcomes.I've been on quite a squiggly career but it's always had one focus at the core of it - People. How they think, how they act and how to help them grow. It all started with a 10 year career in the Army where my primary focus was 'non Kinetic Effects Operations' (how do you win wars through influencing people in an authentic way, rather than through blowing things up). Post-MBA I then went and did the sorts of jobs I 'thought' I should be doing. It was great for building my capabilities, however on this journey I kept steering myself back to major projects that focused on people development.Finally I landed at EY and since then I've delivered real impact on business outcomes by helping people to become the best versions of themselves through:➡️ Learning strategy creation that aligns to business outcomes➡️ Leadership programme and High performing teams programme design and delivery➡️ Learning culture analysis and environment creation for people to thrive inAs a synopsis, I have:✅ Led multiple consulting engagement teams focusing on discovery, design and delivery of strategic learning, leadership and culture solutions to clients, that led to extensive follow-on work, including a £5m call-off contract.✅ Delivered over 100 leadership and culture change workshops to client senior leadership teams, mid-level and first-line leaders.
