Organizational Transformation and Change Consultant
Helping organizations navigate complex change and large-scale transformation
I’m not someone who enjoys boasting about myself. I find the language of marketing—where attributes are showcased to drive sales—often at odds with the kind of work I do.
That said, I genuinely enjoy offering our consulting work because I believe in it. We help companies change, and we work with executives in ways that are personal, deeply involved, and not easily reduced to an hourly rate.
This page serves as a brief introduction and reference point. I am a partner at Adapsys (adapsysgroup.com) in the United States, where we have spent years helping organizations evolve and work toward a better world.
Here is my approach
— not a list of services, not a pitch.
Deep Convictions about Change
I've dedicated half of my professional life to culture and change. Along this journey, I discovered the profound impact values have on us as individuals. They possess the power to propel us forward or keep us stagnant. Influential figures like Aristotle, Ed Shein, Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky played a role in shaping my understanding. Experience with all sorts of companies in different industriyes made the rest, empowering me to navigate change and culture effectively. The Adaptive Leadeship framework is the key to un-lock the mysteries of change. The model is elusive without practice. That is why this is a rare but valuable science.
A Systemic View of Organizations
In the consultancy firm where I am a partner, we have been working on change, culture, and leadership for 15 years. Fifteen years ago, they were considered HR topics, and the C-level executives were only focused on "the business". That reality is long gone. After years of strategies that don't yield results, ideas that end up in folders, and the digital explosion that democratized technical knowledge, and the imperative of a Sustainable world, the management world realized that change, culture, and leadership are not just a part of the game. They are the game. But the 3 of them dwell in what we call the Adaptive dimension. Always ignored because of it's constituive traits. Is the difference of buying training gear vs changing habits.
Proven Strategies Built Through Practice
With a team of first-class professionals, including alumni from the world's top universities, and others who have taken less traditional paths such as actors or advertisers, we have developed methodologies and processes to help individuals and companies address adaptive changes. I am straightforward about this. The work of change is akin to that of a physiotherapist, not a surgeon. I have to help you with your muscle structure. I assist, but you have to do the work yourself; otherwise, there will be no change in you.
