Advising
Helping founders, leaders, c-suite and board create healthy research and design capabilities
Creating empowered leaders
Leadership can be lonely, especially if you feel out of sync with your peers. Many leaders in product, research and design periodically experience this, suffering from feelings of “imposter syndrome”.
This can boil down to poor communication, lack of experience in certain situations, extreme workloads, or a general imbalance between managing CRAFT, your TEAMS, and engaging with the BUSINESS.
I am not a trained coach though I do provide a degree of coaching, challenge, and mentorship creating a kind of professional “sparring partner” relationship. I’ve worked with and helped a fair few product, research and design, as well as other digital and non-digital leaders over the years.
I can also provide the right level of challenge at the c-suite and board-level through advisory services and NED engagement.

“In the Board, Brian showed real management and programme expertise; his common-sense approach and deep experience were crucial to DPL. I would recommend him without hesitation.”

"How many people can juggle board level business strategy and operations, detailed UX and digital delivery, practitioner level UX/service design expertise and look after his team and having hard conversations well? I’ve met one. Brian.”

“Brian’s experience is second to none. I’m hard pushed to think of anyone with more knowledge, exposure and understanding in digital. Couple that with his passion for innovation, talent for kicking off new projects (and possibly the best networking skills around) and you get the picture of a professional few can match.”
