Speaking

A digital visionary

I have spoken on stages across the corporate spectrum from some of the world’s tech leaders like Amazon Web Services to one of the toughest audiences of all: council leaders! And my work has taken me across the globe from the UK to the US and Australia.

I bring three crucial credentials to speaking engagements:

  • Credibility borne of real experience: I’ve rolled up my sleeves and worked for over a decade in transforming public services.
  • Communication skills: I don’t wear fat ties or a silver suit. Instead, I know my subjects in depth and I speak eloquently about them because I never forget that I am speaking to an audience of my peers.
  • Genuine passion: I have lived and breathed change in public sector organisations for most of my career. What I do has never been more important for public services and the communities they serve.

I invite speaking engagements on:

  • Digital transformation: Putting technology to work across the public sector.
  • Commercialisation: How councils and other public sector bodies can reduce their deficits with commercial services and maintain an ethical operation.
  • Culture Change: How to leverage the richest seam of resources in any organisation – the latent talent of your team.
  • Customer Focus: In a world where Amazon has taught us to exceed customer expectations, how every organisation can refocus and restructure to meet the most demanding consumer needs.
  • Leadership: Transformation starts at the top. From living a set of values to treating management as a discipline in its own right, I help leaders discover new outperformance.
