Robin
Coates has been a consultant for the last 23 years working with
private, public and charitable organisations, helping them develop
their capability to work in more effective, creative and human
ways, and to adapt to their changing environments.
His consulting assignments have included development of organisations,
strategy, culture, teams, department and interdepartmental relationships,
major change and transformation initiatives, and mentoring individuals.
He works with a whole systems approach to find the places where
small focused developmental shifts at the individual and organisation
level can result in significant change. He has designed and
facilitated inter institutional Whole Systems Events.
His open programme work has been associated with leadership,
empowerment, consulting skills and developing facilitators.
He uses action learning approaches both in change assignments
and in cross sector development programmes like the Senior Leadership
programme for the Whitehall and Industry Group.
His skills and experience include:
 |
Fast cycle iterative learning and change: Working in
such a way that the deeper dynamics of the organisations
helpful and dysfunctional cultural patterns are understood
at the same time as progressing priority tasks and connecting
the key parts of the organisation together. |
|
Broadening the organisations repertoire of ways of bringing
about change: Identifying the ways of bringing about change
that would engage more of the distributed intelligence,
local knowledge and energy and at the same time turn round
cynicism and apathy. |
|
Building enabling leadership: Releasing the cultural
constraints that make leadership at all levels too difficult
and increasing the number of employees able to work in
this way for the wider organisation as well as their current
tasks. |
|
Fostering effective partnerships: Enabling organisations
in partnership to work effectively together to deliver
change and helping people to see that every organisational
and professional boundary within the organisation provides
the same partnership challenge. |
|
Integrating multiple initiatives: In today�s world
at every level there are numerous initiatives, targets
and
pressures raining down. Robin has developed ways of helping
the individuals and organisation to have ways of making
sense of these, creating the necessary connection and
coherence and the ability to act/deliver whilst containing
risk and
avoiding getting bogged down in bureaucracy. |
In his early career he had thirteen years experience as a project
manager of large civil engineering and multi discipline design
and construct projects. He was managing director of a medium
sized Environmental Engineering Company for five years.
