I have been a career consultant now for more than 25 years, most of them as an independent. I started in contract design and development with Cambridge Consultants Ltd before joining Arthur D Little Inc in Brussels working for clients all over the world in technology strategy and product development management. Returning to the UK in 1991 I established my business as an independent, focusing on innovation, technology management and enabling change. Working across many different industries, I have worked with organisations of all sizes, from start-ups to multinationals, in the public, private and non-profit sectors. I help clients to gain clarity about their aspirations, help them to develop the capabilities, processes and organisational culture to deliver, and then facilitate the change to make it happen. I describe my approach as coaching as much as consulting because we focus on results and not upon reports.

I also work with a loose network of other independent practitioners and small companies who bring a broad range of skills, experience and insight in marketing, intellectual property strategy and product development.

I'm based in Suffolk in a village near Cambridge. For relaxation I photograph motor racing, mostly historics and classics. Some of my efforts can be seen on Flickr.

I reflect on things I encounter, current thinking and new ideas on my Innovation Coaching blog. Do drop by.
