“What do I want”? Great question isn’t it? What do I want … today? This year? For my work? For my life?

One thing is for sure – if you can’t see it, you can’t say it.

Stuck? Impossible amount of work to do? Hard to know where to start? Does it feel any better to know that you’re not alone? Wow, it’s been a rough go, hasn’t it? It feels like everybody has been at some degree of breaking or broken this past year, and we’re all looking forward to feeling some new energy in 2022. Leaders I’ve spoken to recently want to get back into the groove of real, forward motion and get to the good work that needs doing.

We know the future is HYBRID - but how hybrid, and where hybrid? This is the introductory post in a video series for leaders who need to get clear on their future hybrid work model. This video series tackles the challenge of creating a future hybrid model.

Push the ‘easier’ button. There is a way to design speed into your organization, and to design your organization with speed. #Don’tMakeitSoHard. In this short video I share my take on ‘what is org design’. And then I share two adaptive thinking techniques (Iterate and Calibrate) that are both mindset and method.

How do you build your organization when you can’t actually see the future? What do we know for sure? We know that organizations need to be built for speed and need to have adaptability wired in.

This 5-minute video is from my 2015 presentation from year 1 for Disrupt HR in Ottawa!

Business Analysts play a vital role in bridging the gap between strategy and implementation. In this webinar I talk about the multi-dimensional role of the BA and their duty to be thinking strategically - looking up, ahead and across the organization to connect the dots and ensure they're working on real problems and the right things.

Organizational life is complex, and rarely will a single solution tidily address an organizational challenge. The thing is … it’s never just one thing! But how then do you know which thing to start with? And how do you figure out where and how to invest your time and energy?

My primary ambition is to help clients find clarity on their organizational challenges so that they can focus on delivering on their business and customer objectives.
