Are you wondering about how social media will affect you, your work, your organization and the relationships with customers, employees and constituents ?
I can help you understand how the Web impacts your organization or job.
My areas of knowledge include:
- how hierarchies have been built and how they function
- the growing impacts of the Web, interconnectedness and pervasive smart software
- the various ways knowledge work is changing in a networked environment
- the central role people play in the sustainable effectiveness of an organization
- how to use the principle of Wirearchy to bring rapidly-changing workplace dynamics into a coherent integrated perspective
- how to serve committed and caring managers and executives as an authentic, tell-the-truth coach
My background is useful for exploring why and how things are different in an interconnected and networked environment. My roles in the exploration include:
- coaching executives, managers and professionals in adapting to a wired environment
- design, implementation and facilitation of organizational developmental initiatives for the wired workplace
- strategic planning and organizational change
- the evolution of knowledge management theory and practice
- using social media and collaboration platforms / tools
- researching strategic trends and carrying out professional blogging
I offer:

I seek out useful information, knowledge and creative dialogue from collegial professional networks which include some of the most respected figures in pertinent fields.
The networks are cross-disciplinary, cross-gender and cross-cultural and offer me extensive reach and insight into complex and challenging issues
Deliverables include:
Strategic reviews - how new forms of organizational structure help increase productivity and optimize current initiatives.
Coaching - working with you to design and carry out strategic change based on effective, high-involvement, vision-and-values-driven principles.
Strategic consulting - acting as a trusted adviser; review plans, identify potential stumbling blocks, develop initiatives and serve as a sounding board
Participative Work Design - to increase workers' flexibility, effectiveness and sense of meaning
