Robbie C.

Robbie began his career as a Clinical Psychologist and worked in this field for a number of years, before joining an organisational consultancy and then moving on to start his own company six years later in 1996.

He has been consulting to a diverse range of blue chip organisations for more than 11 years, and in this time has gained extensive experience in organisational development, human resource management, internal communications and coaching at board level.

His consulting process is grounded in his concept of 'Organisational Intelligence'. Robbie observes that often, even when organisations comprise highly intelligent individuals, together they often fail to act in a cohesive or even an intelligent manner.

Robbie enhances the capability of organisations to better harness their collective intellect by focusing on:

• Building leadership team consensus on what 'success' looks like in the present and in the future
• Designing and implementing innovative engagement strategies, to involve people - across the business - in building understanding of the forward vision, as well as commitment to action
• Developing the individual skills and organisational capabilities necessary, to transform strategic intent into tangible business results

Concentrating on these factors allows individuals to build clarity and commitment around common business goals, and to translate this vision into operational reality.

This improves the business' capacity to pre-empt and respond to the challenges from both within and outside organisational boundaries.

His integrated approach to Organisational Development means he works with senior management, small teams and individuals, in a holistic and co-ordinated way.

Robbie's interventions include one or a combination of:

• Group Process Facilitation
• Leadership Development
• Coaching and Mentoring
• Project Management
• Strategy Facilitation

Robbie will facilitate your best thinking and ask you to challenge your most basic assumption. His job is to make you just a little uncomfortable.

Planning and facilitating strategy review process to include:

• Working with business leaders to identify, understand and verify business issues
• Design and develop strategy workshops involving stakeholders and decision makers
• Facilitate strategy workshops
• Coordinate and facilitate ongoing follow-up sessions with management teams to help guide implementation

His approach is to work with the management teams to get the best thinking done at both corporate and divisional levels. He does not only work to understand the business needs, key variables and big issues but also to understand the personalities and people. This is pulled together through appropriate pre-work, workshop design, informed facilitation and follow-up.
