Noone's ever said "Let's be less clear about this..."Since 2011, MuchClearer has been helping clients scrape away complexity to get to a place of clarity. Predominantly around their growth approach, sales & marketing and top-team dynamics. Organisations of all stripes find themselves up against the various challenges of shifting operating models, globalisation, social-media, daily changing technology, the pressure to do more with less and taking big ideas from pure concepts to delivered realities.Im fortunate enough to lead a small team working with a range of commercial, community and charity sector clients using a toolbox of painstakingly tried and tested interventions to move from complexity to clarity.

Working with global technology and healthcare brands on product development, brand / portfolio building, external messaging and internal transformation.

It's different now. Companies in the digital, creative and tech sector are moving at the speed of a flywheel. Gen X, Y and now Z (!) employees and clients, agile organisations, corporate 'storytelling' and CSR / ethical business are now taking centre stage. These are just a few realities that leaders in 21st century organisations need to wrestle with. At Form, we believe that remarkable organisations are built by leaders with both character AND competence. Therefore, we step into this space to help individuals and teams navigate the challenge of crafting businesses that will influence and disrupt their worlds.

Ofsted needed to transform itself. They brought me in to help with the leadership and direction of their "Future Operating Model" (FOM) programme, billed as the largest change undertaken by the organisation since its creation in 1992. FOM delivered a newly restructured Ofsted with the 'insourcing' of three major contracts that provided inspection services across schools and Further Education. In September 2015, after 16 months of work we closed the three contracts collectively worth £20m, grew the workforce overnight by 10%, went live with brand new contracts for 1500 individual freelance inspectors and adopted a whole new means of supporting inspections in the back office with a brand new IT system and new processes for quality management. FOM was delivered on time and on budget. Time will tell whether the quality of inspection will improve...

Websites, Apps, Office365, Extranet, Intranet, SharePoint or RedDot, Cloud or On Prem... etc etc. I worked with Mando to help senior clients navigate through the complexity of digital transformation to get to make tech work for their organisations.

Here I cut my teeth on selling and delivering large transformation projects in often global and always complex circumstances. Realising benefits (sometimes soft, often very hard!), solving problems including tech design, lean Implementation, change management, organisational design, leadership development, performance improvement and management training. International experience included India, Netherlands, France, Germany, Poland and - of course - the UK. Which was nice.

I began my career on a leading UK graduate scheme before taking on a variety of operational leadership positions including a role where we turned around an ailing-back office function, gaining recognition at the UK & International board level.
