When the same business challenges keep resurfacing despite your best efforts, it's because you're treating symptoms rather than root causes.
I help you see what's really happening, identify what's actually broken and rebuild the foundations so your organisation's performance improves permanently.
Brad Taylor, Chartered FCIPD
Performance & Change Consultant

You've tried to fix things before and it didn't stick.
You're dealing with business challenges that won't go away:
The issue isn't your capability or the quality of your interventions.
It's that you're treating symptoms rather than root causes. The real problems are hidden beneath what you can see from your position.
When you ask your people what's going on, they give you the version they think is safe to share. Not because they're hiding things maliciously, but because hierarchy naturally filters what gets said upwards.
You're also navigating a structural challenge every leader faces: the closer you are to your organisation, the harder it becomes to see certain patterns. You're making decisions with information that's been filtered through multiple layers, relationships and agendas.
And you're doing all this whilst running the business. There's limited headspace to step back and think strategically about root causes when you're managing the day-to-day operation.
Someone who can have conversations your people can't have with you. Someone who can see patterns across the organisation without the constraints of internal relationships or past decisions. Someone who can focus entirely on diagnosis whilst you keep things running.

Through one-to-ones, focus groups and structured conversations, I help your people articulate what's actually happening. Because I'm outside your hierarchy and have no agenda beyond understanding, they tell me what they won't tell you.
I think critically about what I'm hearing and seeing, connecting dots across different parts of your organisation. I find what's really broken, not just what appears broken on the surface.
I develop clear plans to address root causes and work with you to implement change that sticks. No quick fixes. No papering over cracks. Just proper solutions that address the real productivity blockers and cost drivers.
The people I work with develop greater confidence, accountability and strategic thinking. Your organisation becomes stronger and more self-sufficient, not dependent on external support.
I've spent three decades in senior HR and change leadership, including:
(2016-2021): Led cultural transformation during substantial growth and digital transformation
(2008-2015): Reshaped global management capability during major organisational change including the AICPA partnership
18 years in various HR and change leadership roles across financial services

A focused engagement to understand what's really holding back productivity and performance in your organisation. Through conversations with your people and strategic analysis, I identify the underlying issues that surface fixes haven't touched.
From diagnosis through to implementation. I work with you to identify root causes, design the right interventions and deliver change that improves performance permanently.
Ongoing support for leaders navigating complex change. Regular sessions to think through challenges, test assumptions and develop strategic responses that address root causes rather than symptoms.
