Profile

I help leaders use technology and people skills to make improve their organisation’s operating model.

– Effective delivery teams are both predictable and agile.
– Effective leadership teams are smart and healthy.
– Effective IT departments are great business partners – which makes for great organisations.

Ask me what works. it’s actually very simple and quite easy to execute. It will save years of frustration in failed transformations and $millions of wasted effort and opportunity costs.

I’ve run 3 large and successful Agile transformations, 1 huge DevOps adoption, and turned around 4 digital transformation programs. I’ve coached 15 C-level executives and 3 leadership teams, rescued 4 software projects, and trained 3600 IT professionals. I led the agile team that developed contactless fares payment at TfL. If you use a London bus or Tube and pay using a contactless card, or if you use an Oyster card on National Rail services in Greater London, then you’re using one of the systems I designed and built.

I’m an evidence-based practitioner too, currently researching the emerging role of managers as leaders of change in the digital age for a doctorate.

I’m recruiting managers of large companies to participate, so contact me if you are a gatekeeper.
