I’m on a mission to rid the world of managers. Thats the role, not the person!
My aim in life is to make all organisations democratic, fun and enjoyable places to work.
Through 10 years of in-company research via DNA Wales, I’ve found that the solution to almost every problem will be found within the organisation via the ‘frontline staff’. They are already your consultants, leaders, keen, willing, passionate and hopefully loyal to the cause. That’s if you allow them to say what they think, encourage debate, trust their opinion, and give them reason to trust you. This is why management in its whole sense must be removed, for it hinders this relationship as our results clearly show.
Organisations are purely human driven and focussed.
I base all of this change, research and advise in Complexity Theory which is the globally recognised term for the methods I use to help businesses help themselves. I’m not a management consultant as I don’t provide solutions. I introduce a new way of looking at the workforce, every aspect of the business, the need for leadership as opposed to management, and how to break down out-dated hierarchies.
Through understanding the people that work within your business and identifying natural leaders as opposed to managers, you can gain a better insight into what works most effectively for your business and the people that run it.
I don’t believe in titles, or processes of monitoring and control. As a result my methods are often perceived initially as controversial and anti-establishment. But when businesses take them on board and see the results, I have ‘complexity converts’ every time.
What results?
Examples include - 300% increase in productivity, reduction in sickness & absenteeism from 29% to .01%, response rates from 32 days to 2 days..... just some of the results of true 'ownership'.
The theory and practice of Complexity is recognised on a global level, and includes advocates such as Shell, BP and GlaxoSmith Kline, and has a huge following in the US.
