Robert Ling Email & Phone Number

Robert Ling is a Director of Transformation at North Yorkshire Council. He possess expertise in public sector, strategy, stakeholder engagement, business planning, business process improvement and 22 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Robert has been very influential in my recent career, and I owe a debt to him for his mentoring and leadership. When I started working with Robert, I was rough around the edges, keen to disrupt practice but without the tools to do it properly and he - with a similar style (but a lot more polished) - helped me refine and develop so I wasn't quite the blunt instrument! He was always happy to take the time to provide a steer, opinion or view and suggest an approach to a particular situation, with no time too inconvenient or conversation too long. And always with a lot more knowledge about a subject matter than he let on! However, despite all of that, the thing that has made Robert a real influence is his approach to breaking new ground. A delicate balance between disruption of great service, Robert's ability to provide transformational leadership is very natural. With Robert, we've developed one of the best most renowned data teams in local government, we've deployed thousands of IoT devices across North Yorkshire (making North Yorks the most digitally connected super rural area in England - probably!) and even launched Low Earth Orbit satellites. I'd be over the moon if we got to work together again in the future." and "Robert was highly respected and effective in his role at BDUK and as such was able to gain the trust of civil servants, local government and the supplier market in order to successfully drive the programme forward with all parties working towards a common goal of accelerating roll out of broadband across rural communities"

Listed skills include Public Sector, Strategy, Stakeholder Engagement, Business Planning, and 23 others.
