Leadership

Richard loves uncovering what makes organisations tick and helping them adapt to changing demands.

Richard is interested in how organisations can adapt and evolve so that they continue to thrive, rather than requiring fundamental and abrupt change.

He’s known for his ability to quickly understand each client’s specific context, to identify the issues, and to communicate problems and solutions in an accessible way.  

As well as advising our clients on organisational review and design, Richard provides expertise in strategic planning and systems thinking. Richard’s style is thoughtful and considered – he asks questions that help clients find the solutions they need to improve performance.

Examples of Richard's work

  • Supporting a wide range of clients on key aspects of their operating-model design, including Te Puni Kōkiri, Inland Revenue, and NZ Red Cross
  • Supporting clients to comprehensively review and refresh their strategic frameworks and supporting processes, including MFAT, Auckland Council, and the National Emergency Management Agency
  • Organisational review, design, and change for many clients, including the Ministry for the Environment, the Commerce Commission, and Stats NZ.
