Mike is recognized for his pioneering work in Lean, Agile, and Kanban and his advocacy for participatory and outcome-oriented approaches to change, transformation, and strategy. Before his consulting career, he was global development manager and Executive Director at a top-tier investment bank, CTO for an energy risk management startup and interim delivery manager for two of the UK government's digital ‘exemplar’ projects.

As an Agendashift partner, Mike is in the business of building wholehearted organizations. Mike shares Agendashift's mission of helping organizations grow in wholeheartedness—helping them become less at war with themselves, identify and own their obstacles, imbalances, and contradictions, and create value and meaning in the process.

Equipped with all the tools of an Agendashift partner, Mike can serve you in a number of ways:

Help you identify and frame the right challenges to engage on
Help you invite others into the strategy process – not only for their perspectives and ideas but for the organizational integration that participation brings
Help you celebrate their successes – amplifying your organization’s capacity to innovate, not only in terms of enhanced products and services but in terms of the organization’s own development also
