After 15 years of working as a
'consultant', I began to work primarily one-to-one with key leaders in
industry. I found this far more rewarding, as it meant that I was
engaged for the long haul rather than one off, ad hoc, projects and so got
to see the impact of the work I was involved in. Then, out of the
blue, Sodexho UK, asked if I would take on the role of Group HR Director on
an interim basis - that became two years! Again, I found the longer term nature of involvement
far more satisfying.
Born out of the same melting pot as humanistic psychology,
OD differs from OB (the science of managing change through people) in that
it has certain premises about the kind of workplace you are trying to
create. (For a more detailed explanation, check out my article on the
topic <HERE>.)
So today, I work on a
retained basis supporting OD initiatives in a very small number of
organisations at one time. The two roles that I have at the moment
are:
●
Workplace Chaplain
and Joint Coordinator of Chaplaincy Services
- QinetiQ, Farnborough.
●
Leadership
development counsellor
- Stockholm Environment Institute, Oxford.
I am always
interested in discussing ways of working together, and although I am not currently
looking for any further OD roles, if an exciting opportunity arose I would
be pleased to chat. If you would be
interested in working one-to-one with me - check out my leadership
development pages.
