About Karl James

As director of The Dialogue Project, I help people talk to each other. I enjoy working with a healthy mixture of businesses and non-profit making organisations and have more than 25 years experience of helping teams think and transform together when the stakes are high.In the early days while I was finding my feet with The Dialogue Project we played a significant role in helping Unilever UK & Ireland to co-create their new vision. After a series of powerful conversations, we engaged key stakeholders and then put together a live event for a thousand people to bring the vision to life. One analysis benchmarked this piece of work and the sustained cultural change it produced as world class. A piece of work I'm especially proud of from the early years was "Your Thoughts With Mine", a series of dialogues held throughout the UK on themes that resonated with contemporary Muslim life in Britain. In addition to my podcast 2+2=5 The Dialogue Project podcast, early in 2010 I published a series of twelve audio podcasts on the core skills of dialogue, now freely available for download. I continue to adapt, build and share this aspect of my work.My artistic side is fed in many ways. Among my all-time favourites are Latitude Festival for whom I created a series of live events under the banner Intimate Conversations. Being there in person was so gratifying and beyond the weekend of the festival we had literally thousands of downloads in just one weekend. And then there's the work of Tim Crouch that I co-direct with Andy Smith. Most recently Truth's A Dog Must to Kennel Tim's latest piece which played in Edinburgh, London and now beyond.In more recent years, I've worked with Tesco and Tesco Mobile in the UK and further afield in CEE, with Openreach and Unilever. Alongside the commercial clients I balance my time with the work I do with smaller but equally important organisations like Arrival Education, the Architectural Association and - my personal favourite - the wonderful Educare Small School in Kingston. Specialties: Dialogue. Coaching. Excellence in communication. Transformational thinking. High performing teams, strategy development, relationship building, personal impact, facilitation, presentation skills, conferences and putting on live events that create change.

Karl James Work Experience Details
  • The Dialogue Project
    Founder And Director
    The Dialogue Project Oct 2001 - Present
    The Dialogue Project started as a simple idea: helping people to talk to each other. Each project is as valuable as the next, whether it be working in a primary school, a global business or making podcasts for a wider non-paying public. Major commercial clients include Unilever, Tesco, Google, TSB and many more. Most projects are focused on creating change of some sort. Or turning a difficult situation into a productive one by thinking more creatively, acting more effectively and having better conversations that create new ideas and innovations. Other organisations like the Architectural Association and Educare Small School occupy a regular spot in Karl's diary and then there is the less regular but hugely popular strand of audio work. Karl's audio work can be heard on Radio 4 and in the podcast 2+2=5 The Dialogue Project Podcasts, which has had over 10,000 listens and became a regular feature of Latitude Festival. Karl interviewed the children whose voices were represented in the successful theatre piece Monkey Bars. Meanwhile, Karl continues his relationship with writer Tim Crouch: their work together has recently been seen at Edinburgh Festival, the Royal Court and the National Theatre where Karl's role is as co-director with Andy Smith of Tim's plays.

    Dialogue And Communication Consultant And Practitioner

    London, United Kingdom
  • Unilever
    Dialogue Consultant
    Unilever 2005 - Present
    Karl has a long standing relationship with Unilever and has been helping them 'think together' for more than twenty years. He worked closely with the UK and Ireland business at first. Then, as many of his key clients moved up through the business he found himself working much more for the Global business, creating large scale events, coaching individuals, running team workshops and working closely with senior management. Karl played a key role in enabling a new vision for the UK and Ireland business and was instrumental in the recent transformation of the Personal Care global business. Unilever's reputation for taking environmental and social responsibilities seriously is one of the many reasons Karl still values them as a significant client.
