Your experienced partner in transformation
Over the last 15 years I've held senior transformation and programme delivery responsibility in services, insurance, retail, pensions and banking and sat around the executive table of three regulated firms. I help clients in these ways:
🚀 Major £10-100m transformation programme establishment, management, review and governance - and programme rescue.
💻 Technology platform implementation, migration and decommissioning - and avoiding the pitfalls.
💰 Building agile capacity and capability so as to deliver results - getting "all the wood behind one arrowhead".
💼 Working with boards and regulators - helping you and they gain or sustain confidence of others (and self-confidence).
"Alastair is a seasoned transformation director, programme director and executive coach.

Your trusted coach and mentor
As a Business and Personal Coach, trained for the ICF Accredited Postgraduate Certificate in Business and Personal Coaching with Barefoot Coaching, I am a member of the International Coaching Federation. I help clients both personally and through my trusted associates in these ways:
📢 Bring challenging transformation to life - helping you clarify and communicate "your purpose" , "your story" and "your journey".
🔍 Helping you grasp complex issues, identify causes and find solutions - from "what's the issue?" to "what to do?" and "how do we do it?"
💡 Empowering leaders and their diverse teams to overcome challenges and achieve excellence - building capability, capacity and competence.
🤝 Working with you to (re-)build business partner relationships - and navigate the ups, downs and crises.
"As a very busy CEO, I have little or no time for consultants or folk who explain the obvious. I am easily bored with those types. However, Alastair is in a different league here. His approach is warm, friendly and very much like a translating mirror.
He can sum up your feelings with clarity in a way that untangles a restless set of thoughts into a well-formed strategy. Never explaining, but like speaking to a well-informed, neutral listener. I have found that 1 hour per week is a great balance that allows me time to navigate my own rough seas and pull into a quiet anchorage to double-check all my navigation and route planning.
If you are the kind of person who is constantly running, busy but getting there, then I could not recommend Alastair enough. He is obviously highly experienced, but very much reserved and intent on listening, not to change your path, but to help you be certain it's the right path, and you don't miss any detail along the way. ”
