Will Pets Be the First European Consumers of Cultivated Meat? Meatly is Betting on It

Business for Good Podcast

If you follow the world of cultivated meat, you probably know that a few companies have gotten historic regulatory approval and have sold some limited quantities of product both in the US and Singapore. But earlier this year, Meatly—a company founded only in 2021 and with just a few million British pounds in their pocket—succeeded in getting regulatory approval to start selling its cultivated chicken meat…in pet food. This was the first-ever European approval for a cultivated meat product, and the first-ever approval for such a product in the pet food space. And as someone with a dog who sadly makes his distaste for plant-based dog food very clear, I can assure you that I'm eager to see if my dog Eddie will enjoy Meatly's debut product. In this episode, I talk with Meatly CEO Owen Ensor about his journey from starting the company to now. We discuss the scale he's at, the cost structure of his product, the inclusion rates in pet food he anticipates, what stores he plans to sell in at first, how he'll fund the company, when he thinks cultivated meat may make a dent in total meat demand, and much more. It's a riveting conversation with someone making headlines across the alt-meat world. Will pet food be the gateway for cultivated meat's market entrance? You be the judge. Discussed in this episode Owen became vegan after watching Cowspiracy. Owen's chart showing the timeline to regulatory approval for various cultivated meat companies. Paul's essay on pet food's contribution to total meat demand. Bond is another company growing chicken protein for the pet market. You can see Paul's dog Eddie enjoying it here. Our past episodes with Jim Mellon from Agronomics and Mark Post from Mosa Meat. Owen recommends reading Good to Great. More about Owen Ensor Owen is the Founding CEO of Meatly. Since establishing Meatly in 2021, with only £3.5m in funding, it has become the first company in Europe to get regulatory approval for cultivated meat, developed industry-leading technical processes, and created the world's first cultivated pet food products. Before establishing Meatly, Owen started his career at the Management Consultancy company Bain and scaled one of the world's first insect protein facilities.

Neurodiversity is a fairly new topic in the world of DEI but affects an estimated 1 in 7 people, with diagnosis rates on the rise. This is a topic we expect to see more of over the next year with its prevalence in many more organisations' agendas for 2024. Our CEO and Host, Stuart Elliott is joined today by an expert in this field Ritu Kiran, Founder and CEO of Aubilities. Throughout the conversation, Stuart and Ritu discuss her career, how and why she founded Aubilities and neurodiversity in the workplace. They take a deeper dive into what neurodiversity is and why it's important, discussing the rise in cases and whether it is due to trends or general awareness around the subject. They also look into the recent high number of diagnoses within adults and what organisations can do to be more neuro-inclusive and how they can adapt the recruitment process to ensure they are getting the best out of people. Lastly, they discuss what Aubilities can offer and do to allow those with neurodiverse needs to thrive. Prior to founding Aubilities, Ritu had a corporate career for many years, starting her journey working for a major global Management Consultancy firm, specialising in HR consulting and HR projects across a multitude of clients. After this, she moved into the global learning and development space. In 2016 Ritu had her first child, who was diagnosed with autism in 2018, shortly after his diagnosis Ritu began researching autism to learn more about her son's needs and quickly identified a gap in the corporate market of utilising these talented and specialist thinkers to add value to businesses.

2023 was a busy year for M&A in the PR/comms industry. One of the most significant of these deals was announced in October when Lansons was acquired by Team Farner. This episode of Waypointers sees Gordon Tempest-Hay, the CEO of Lansons telling Waypoint partner Jim Houghton the story behind the deal headlines and his and Farner's ambitions – “to become the European management consultancy for integrated communications”. Farner might not be a well-known entity in the UK, but that's about to change. We also hear about Gordon's rather circuitous route into the comms industry by way of spending almost ten years trying to make it as a rock star (hint, he came very close!) Once in the industry, from working in-house at the DWP, Gordon moved agency side, taking up roles at some of its most notable businesses – Fishburn Hedges, Blue Rubicon, Teneo/Blue Rubicon and from 2022, Lansons. At BR/Teneo, and then again when Lansons became part of Waterland backed Farner, he's had plenty of experience working with private equity investors. He talks positively about the value they bring to a partnership and the support they have provided him in good times as well as bad.

In this episode, Riccardo Cosentino sits down with fellow Oxford alumni, Rachael Patel, to discuss integrated project delivery (IPD). With a background as a registered nurse, Rachael brings her unique expertise to her current role in the health sector specializing in strategic planning and execution of health services, research and infrastructure projects in North America. The pair discuss the impediments and challenges of adoption of the IPD model, specifically how it relates to private and public healthcare major infrastructure projects and the procurement process.“You add an integrated project delivery, where the idea is risk sharing and then you use that same methodology to calculate value for money, IPD will never win because IPDs base core base is sharing risk. It's two issues in our procurement, it's the idea of what value for money is and how we calculate money.”– Rachael Patel Key Takeaways: The origin of IPD and how its optimizing project design and construction Why value for money is problematic for IPDFinding a better way to allocate risk, relational over transactional The policy associated in procurement and how it is hindering the marketplace shift to alternative models Links Mentioned: A critical perspective on Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) applied in a Norwegian public hospital projectBenefits and challenges to applying IPD: experiences from a Norwegian mega-project If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser or Castbox.

I'm your host Riccardo Cosentino. I bring over 20 years of major programme management experience. Most recently, I graduated from Oxford Universities they business group, which shook my belief when it comes to navigating major problems. Now it's time to shake yours. Join me in each episode as a press the industry experts about the complexity of major program management, emerging digital trends and the critical leadership required to approach these multibillion dollar projects. Let's see where the conversation takes us. Racheal Patel is an Associate Vice President and senior project manager at a global architecture and engineering firm. She's a registered nurse, and also the Master of Science in major program management from the University of Oxford, and a Master of nursing from the University of Toronto. Racheal is a skilled leader in the health sector specializing in strategic planning and execution of health services, research and infrastructure projects in Canada and the United States. Her expertise includes guiding organization for the initial strategic planning phase, through detailed planning and design to the implementation of transformative and innovative capital projects. Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of navigating major programs. I'm here today with Richard Patel. I met Racheal at Oxford University when we were completing together our mastering major program management. And I asked Racheal today to join us on the podcast to discuss her dissertation, which is quite interesting and very relevant to the topics that we've been discussing on navigating major programs. How're you doing, Racheal? Racheal Patel 02:00I'm good Ricardo. And thanks for having me here. I'm excited to have a platform to talk about my dissertation and you providing that platform to talk about major programs. So thank you very much for having me. Riccardo Cosentino 02:14It's my pleasure. So maybe since I've tucked up your dissertation a little bit, well, what was the topic of your dissertation? Yeah, so my topic was actually looking at the challenges of adopting integrated project delivery in health infrastructure here specifically in Ontario. And I kind of was interested in this because here in Ontario, as you know, we've been in a transactional type of model for some time, and I wanted to see could we push the boundary and look at other project delivery models that would achieve the the goals of infrastructure for healthcare in a different manner? Interesting. And you talk about transactional contracting, and you talk about IPD, can you maybe explain for some of our listeners the difference or what was in the context of your, your research, what those terms mean? Racheal Patel 03:20So when we when I say transactional, it's more of a contractual obligation. So it's what we see today, like a p3, you know, alternative delivery model where you have a relationship based on some terms and conditions. Relational, it's a similar idea in that more, they're not similar, but it's a similar idea, in that it's a relationship based model where you're working together as a team, there's no one, you know, a buyer and a seller you are, I guess, in a way, a group or collaborative, all working towards the same goal and you have incentives and so forth, in a nutshell, that it's different. We in transactional, as you know, you have contractual requirements, you're obligated to meet certain things, whereas in relational, it's really about the relationships and the collaboration and the people and people organizations that come together to deliver. So it's, it's harder, sorry, relational is more softer compared to transactional in my non legal way of trying to explain. Riccardo Cosentino 04:41So another way of putting that is an is one that of an example that I use in the past is that transactional contracting or is more of a zero sum game where there is a party, a winning party in the losing party. We're in relational contracting. We're all on the same table, we all have one common goal, one common incentive. And all of the incentives are aligned providing a more collaborative environment. Racheal Patel 05:11Yeah, yeah, that's probably more eloquent and articulate in the way I'm trying to explain it. That yeah, like, with relational, and specifically with IPD, you have everyone coming together with a common goal objective, and you're all measured on that same group of objectives or metrics metrics. And I would say transactional is a very much risk transfer moving risk to one party to hold that and your obligation to meet those risks, that transfer of that risk. But yes, I would say what you what you said is more eloquent than how I'm trying to explain it. Riccardo Cosentino 05:54No, yours is more is more detailed and more accurate by this very broad strokes. But maybe maybe for again, for our listeners, I know, in your research, you know, part of your literature review you you actually had a bit of a dive into IPD, which means integrated project delivery. And I actually cover some of that in my dissertation. So in a previous podcast, where I talked about IPD, Alliance and collaborative contracting, maybe just for those listeners that didn't listen to that podcast. Can you talk a little bit about the origin of IPD? Yeah, no problem. So IPD, which is integrated project delivery is the definition. It's kind of vetted by the American Institute of Architects, or specifically the California Council that came up with this notion of IPD. Being that it's a project delivery model that integrates people, businesses, and legal structures into a process that drives collaboration, while it optimizes efficiencies in the design and the construction phases of a project. So what that really means is that your you know, you're kind of like a temporary project organization, or a temporary organization all set to one vision, a shared vision, purpose, and a goal. And you're all working together, in, in what we work in organizations to achieve that. And each part like, you know, you have a joint management decision making where you come together. It's not one party oversight on one, you have key party members within your organization that sit together make decisions, for the best project outcome, you agree on the targets and goals. So what what are we trying to like? What is our project mission values, but what are we trying to achieve with this, you bring everyone to the table. So it's early engagement of parties, like in our current models, or in some of the models, we're all used to, you know, you have owner, you know, their designers are the design team, and then they work together, then you bring in somebody else later in the game, whereas in this one, everyone's sitting at the table on day one, working together to achieve the vision. The other thing with integrated project delivery is that you're sharing the risks and rewards. So it's not self interest driven. It's more we work together, and we share the risk of the solutions we put together or the rewards of the solutions like we work together to do that. So it's a pain share gain kind of model, where if we all do it together, and we're successful, we profit in it together. If we made some bad judgments, we all suffer together in a nutshell. And then the other thing that's different than probably an alliance model, is that our life, reduce liability exposure. So there's no blame game, you know, you're waiving claim and liability between each other. I mean, I'm sure there are legal mechanisms that if it's willful, or negligent, like in that way, that it's purposeful, there's repercussions. But basically, what you're trying to do is create an environment that has trust or respect. And in order to do that, you don't have legal mechanisms that will point to someone and say, Well, you did this, now you're a blame because you all are all on the same page or sharing that reward or the risk or making the decisions. Yeah, that's why I was That's why I was talking about a zero sum game, because I think what you described it, you know, I think the legal recourse creates a situation where there's going to be a winner and a loser in case things go wrong. I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, my my experience is that yeah, a contract. If a project goes well a contrast is on the shelves and nobody looks at it, but is when things start to go wrong, that you take out the contract. Look what the contract says and you pursue your legal remedies. I think what what you did ascribe to the IPD. And to a certain extent, even the Alliance model, or any relational contract allows for that. You know, if the project starts going badly, you don't reach for the contract to start appointing blame, but you actually have to sit at the table and come up with with a solution from the project team, rather than from the contract. Racheal Patel 10:25Yeah, like it's very much in this type of model. It's working together, you know, and in my experience, too, on the other types of contracts, if a project goes well, right, yeah, you're never gonna, you're never going to open it up and blame game. But I think, as the complexities of health infrastructure continues, and I'm talking health infrastructure, like continues to grow, I think we're more heading down the line. And I've seen it going down the line where that contract is open, and that blame game starts. Whereas an IP D, and what I like what I've seen in the industry, and those that have used it, you don't see those levels of escalation, or you don't hear about yourself as an escalation, because everyone that's in this delivery in this project are working together to achieve the same thing. So if, you know if blame is shared, everyone shares I mean, if blame is to be shared, everyone shares that blame. And so that that's the difference in this model, for sure. Riccardo Cosentino 11:28Okay, so I think I think we've set the scene and we talked about IPD. So hopefully, people listening who are not familiar with a Marvel getting a sense. So like to take you back to your dissertation. And, you know, ask, I'd like to ask you, what were the key findings of your, of your, of your research. Racheal Patel 11:52So my, just to kind of give your listeners a little bit of context. So what I was trying to understand in this in this research is, what are the impediments or the challenges of adoption of this model? And so when I looked at, when I looked at, you know, how, how I would identify them, I interviewed individuals in Ontario, both in the public and the private end of health infrastructure, that are decision makers in the process and have been involved. And, you know, we looked at different categories. So is our market even ready to accept a model? Right? Like, are we are we in Ontario, even willing to say, hey, let's look at different project delivery models? You know, what's the impact of culture and environment? The legal ramifications, financial procurement, because we work through a different procurement body? And is there any impact of our regulatory authorities on how we go through it? And so I think, overarching, like one of the biggest findings, and the resounding is, the individuals that I interviewed, were all were like, We need a different model. So it was a resounding yes. The marketplace is saying we need to look at different ways to deliver these infrastructure projects. Because the complexities, the cost they're increasing. And the current models we have, while they deliver an amount saying that P3 are not good, but they do deliver. But for what we're delivering, it's not the best solution. And from a culture and environment, I think, you know, with integrated project delivery, it's about trust and collaboration. And our environment has a huge impact on trust, how we work together and so forth. So I think, I don't think are the culture we work in or in the environment. Everyone's like, it's going to be difficult to apply this model. And I think from a procurement perspective, one of the biggest, you know, ideas that came out was, you know, our procurement, the way we procure projects, that whole process, not necessarily, the broader procurement of the BPS has to change but we have to look at it in a different way to apply this type of model. I think those were some of the key big findings. Riccardo Cosentino 14:22Okay, so I think in your, your dissertation, you you talk about some of the challenges and some of the findings and I think procurement challenges is the one that I found quite interesting. And you talk about how the how the the process to secure funding for the developing new or new health infrastructure. creates challenges in adopting IPD. And also you look at the the value for money analysis used when procuring new infrastructure now that could be a barrier for the for the deployment of integrated project delivery. And so I'm very curious to draw upon your knowledge of what the MO Ministry of Health process is, and why is it detrimental? Racheal Patel 15:18So, I mean, it comes back to so the Ministry of Health process, if we look at, you know, how hospitals kind of work within our system, the hospitals are within, you know, the Ministry of Health. And it's not that they're regulated by the Ministry of Health, because each hospitals, independent corporations, they have their own board of directors, but they're tied to a lot of the operational funding the capital funding come through the Ministry of Health, so you have to work with them in order to get funding for whether it's a renovation or a new build. And so the capital, the health capital planning process, and I know they've changed it in in the last year, or they've added some different nomenclature of stages. But basically, it's separated into two different stages, in that you have your early planning, that talks about, you know, what is the infrastructure proposal how you're going to address it. And that then is requires approval to proceed further into the actual development of the health infrastructure structure project you want to actually implement. And so there's two different approval process within the government through the Treasury Board that your project has to go through. And then during that those approval processes, set dollar amount, whatever that is, whatever is established for that project, and that includes, you know, transaction fees. And so all the other fees that are held, that number is carried across the process. And that kind of is you're upset value or your total value of the project. But when you look at the process, the duration of this process is so long, and you know, healthcare projects can take 10, to, you know, 13 years to get through this process, where you actually go to a part where you go to RFP and start to bid and build, that there's such an evolution, the way we deliver healthcare, because it's rapidly changing with technology operations, and so forth, and different models of care, that what you first envisioned in your project, maybe you're one and where you ended up, when you're about to go to bed could change, but that number doesn't change. And so it's not agile enough to respond to the market. Riccardo Cosentino 17:36I guess another challenge is that when you know, because of the planning process, you develop a design and a solution. And you develop it to probably award 5% design completion. And so you lock in in certain certain things with your, with your master planning, you block schematic as you go through the approval process. And obviously, you wouldn't be able to have an IPD contractor on board, that early on to start that collaboration is that one of the findings, one of the challenges, Racheal Patel 18:11it is a challenge, but I think if you look at the way the US where IPDS is predominantly used for healthcare, you can have your business case written and your idea written, but then you know, when you get into blocks, or schematics, you engage that contractor into the process, right. And then together with the designer, the owner, the and the contractor in some of their sub trades, you start to build or design and plan for that future facility. So in the US, they do do that. Here in Ontario, we have a very process driven stream that contractors are not engaged and their value is not added until they get the bid documents. And so could the contractor come in earlier in the process? I believe it could. But that means you're procuring certain things earlier in order to have those conversations at the table. And they would have to be integrated into this. I don't see it being a barrier. I think it's a shift in mindset and how we approach it. And if this is the what we have to do with the ministry's process and Treasury board's approval for release of funding, then I think we have to look at, you know, when does a contract or when does the sub trades When did those key individuals get involved? Riccardo Cosentino 19:33Well, yeah, because what we have is a very linear process, you know, you have all these stages and you know, you can only is a Stage Gate approach. Well, I think without with IBD, you want a more fluid, more fluid approach that creates collaboration and interaction as early as possible because that's where that's where the value is created. And that's where optimization has appearance is it's at the early stages of the project. Racheal Patel 20:02Right. And it's also where the innovation happens, right? Like with the optimization, but it's innovation and maybe how we address mechanical I mean, you look at healthcare, mechanical, maybe 45, to, if not 50, but close to 50% of the value of our healthcare project is the engineering systems that run, not a name, excluding the equipment that you know, that it's put into the organization. But when you have such a heavy value of your costs sitting, like and you don't have those players that are going to build it at the table, it's a huge detriment, right. And we ended up having issues going down. And I think that's the benefit of this process of IPD. Everyone comes to the table early in design, so you can work out those solutions and the problems, say, you know, what's the best approach for, you know, air handling? What's the best approach for, you know, feature flexibility of data and so forth? I mean, I'm not an engineering to talk technical, but, you know, I've worked in situations where you have everyone at the table, and you can create something more efficient in its operation, but also in the price. Riccardo Cosentino 21:11Yes. Yeah. You know, enough to be dangerous. That's the mean. So, touched upon value for money. So let's, let's jump on to that. Because I think that's the other that, you know, and I worked for infrastructure, Ontario, and I know the value for money methodology. But, again, I think in your findings, you describe it beautifully. Why is problematic, so I won't steal your thunder. I leave, I leave you to explain why the VFM methodology is problematic. Racheal Patel 21:52Yeah, so So you, I get in trouble and not you. Alright. So I do believe that the value for money calculation that we use in Ontario is problematic, because the way we calculate value for money is that, and, again, I've listened and not at Infrastructure Ontario. So I can't say that with certainty. But my understanding of it is that when so let me take a step back when the idea of I think it's the idea of value for money first is problematic. When we think of value for money, we think of lowest price in Ontario. But when you look at what really value for money, it's the best, it's the best solution based on financial and non financial objectives. That's what value for money is value for money is not finding the cheapest bid. And I think, in Ontario, and I'm not just talking p3, but in Ontario, whether it's through supply chain procurement, so if we always look for this lowest price, because we believe that that is value for money, that itself is problematic for IPD. Because in IPD, its value for money is based on a number of other things, right? Value for money is on the team, it's on. It's not on a fixed price, it's how the team works together, right? Like, that's, you know, when you procure IPD, you're not procuring a fixed price, what you're procuring is the team that comes to the table that will work with you to develop the solution for what you're coming together for, you know, their qualifications, their experience, how they work together, their behaviors, that is what you're evaluating how you choose a team. It's not like, here's my lowest bid. And so I think that's one of the biggest challenges in Ontario is that we had this idea of low bid is the right solution. And then sorry, go Riccardo Cosentino 21:52yeah, I was gonna I was gonna, you seem reluctant to come to the punch line. So I was gonna I was for you, in case you're too scared. Racheal Patel 24:00Scared, so but I just wanted to say, you know, like, so when you get to value for money calculation, and the way we do it is that it's about transferring the risk, right? So when you look at the value for money calculation, and how, you know, how one thing is, like one procurement model, p3 is better. It's because they're seeing the risk allocation, the transfers of the risk to the private sector is value for money for the public sector, because they're not burdened by that risk. And so that's kind of the premise. And I don't think that's correct, because you're measuring, you know, p3, the risk transference and against a traditional model where there isn't a risk transfer. So that's kind of the issue with the value for money calculation. Now you add an integrated project delivery, where the idea is risk sharing, and then you use that same methodology to calculate value for money IPD will never win because it's IPDs base core base is sharing risk. Because, you know, the definition is if you share a risk, you share solutions, right? Like you're working together to problem solve, as opposed to transferring that problem to somebody else doesn't get to the punch. Thank you. I'm not afraid to say it. But I just wanted to kind of, you know, I think it's two issues in our procurement, it's the idea of what value for money is and how we calculate money. Riccardo Cosentino 25:26Okay, so I think I think that paints a pretty good picture of what what are the, in my mind, I mean, I'm your research talks about other challenges. And I think there's there's most the softer type challenges, which is, you know, resources, availability of resources, and culture and environment, which you talked at the beginning, but I'm a commercial person. So I always gravitate toward the heard liabilities and the heard numbers. So not that's not the sort of stuff but you know, the soft stuff is important. And yeah, I agree with you, I mean, value for money as to be and it to be to give credit to Infrastructure Ontario for for new projects. Now, on the civil side, they are starting to use more collaborative model, the studying to assess cognitive they do cognitive behavioral assessments for all the people that work on those project, because at the end of the day, there needs to be a culture of fit of everybody's at the table, because otherwise, you're not going to achieve the collaboration that you need. Racheal Patel 26:29100%. And, you know, I, I've spoken to people at Metrolinx, as well about the different ways they're trying to approach project delivery, civil projects are so complex, I would say probably even more so than a hospital delivery. You know, I think the hospital itself is a complex, but what Civil Works does, that's even more complex, but they're willing to try different models. And so if our partners here at Metrolinx, or other organizations are looking at different models, why can't we apply that? That's kind of also why I'm driving this idea. Like, let's look outside the box of what we've traditionally done here, Ontario. Riccardo Cosentino 27:06Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Okay. So jumping on, I wanted to maybe ask you more of a broader question, which, if you have actually had the chance to look at some case studies when you were doing your research, and if there's anything that that jumped out, you might you might have not actually looked at case study, because I know your literature literature review was a bit broader than that. But any, any anything that jumped out and key successes that jumped out, Racheal Patel 27:34you know, IPD, in general, is permanently used in the US, but I think other countries are looking at it. So when I was doing this study, specifically, I was trying to find public hospitals or public systems that have applied integrated project delivery. The one organization I found was an I'm going to pronounce this wrong, because there is a lot over one of the letters, but it's in Norway, is the Songa project. And so the Norwegian government decided they've had enough with cost overruns, scheduled delays, adversarial relationships. And they actually implemented integrated project delivery in the redevelopment of hospitals, specifically one in this specific region and can't remember the name, but I can get you the reference or anybody that wants to know it after. And so they applied integrated project delivery, because they wanted more of a collaboration and a different approach to public infrastructure, it's probably the closest thing that you would see to a true definition of integrated project delivery, with the exception is that there is no multi party contract. So in integrated project delivery, all the individuals are under a multi party contracts, you all signed together. And so in this public project, that was the only key characteristics of a true IPD. That wasn't in there. But all of the risk sharing the reduced liability, not waiver of liability was there, you know, the the key concepts were there, with the exception of the multi party agreement. So that was probably the only one. There's still in the middle of the build stages. And if you do look it up. It's multi phase project. It's very complex redevelopment in this system. But they've just started issuing case studies or publishing case studies are starting to talk to the public or the global public about this specific example. And it's successful because they have delivered and they've achieved what they've wanted to they've had innovations through the process. But it's the first example of public system using integrated project delivery for health infrastructure. Riccardo Cosentino 29:43Interesting. Okay, I'll try. I'll try to get the details. We'll put in the shownotes. Search it up. Okay, so I guess, as maybe as a final question, probably quite a challenging question but are going to have Is there any way? What will be your recommendation to Ontario policymakers? entities like MOH, or Infrastructure Ontario? To what what would they have to do to embrace IPD for future projects? How can they navigate these challenges? Effectively? does. I think, I think if I can paraphrase. I mean, there's a there's a need for a shift for a fundamental shift in the policy, because as you describe the fact that hospitals are risk averse, and they can't really absorb too much or cost overruns, or, you know, as lower risk. But that's a funding issue. Right? That's a policy issue there. I mean, at the end of the day, hospital are a creature of the Ministry of Health, right. So ultimately, the governance could allow could be put in place to allow a hospital to to have a different approach a different commercial approach. So it is it is within the gift of the policymaker and the politicians. Racheal Patel 33:45Yeah. And 100%. And I think, you know, when you're paraphrasing it better than I wrote it, I think, but I'm trying to put, you know, 60 pages into small answer. But if you look at you know, just even the allocation of how hospitals have funding for resources to do infrastructure. In the study, a lot of individuals brought up that thing that goes, there's not even enough money to do the current projects that we have with the lack of funding, you know, because they get a certain percentage of ancillary funding in order to pay their staff. But in this situation, when we do IPD, you're going to have a plethora of individuals and experts and stuff that have to sit in the hospital organization to do this. And a hospital isn't an infrastructure professional, right? They bring in the resources to do what they need to but they're they're there to deliver service and care to their community. And so they need to bring all these specialists in but if our if our ancillary costs are how until your cost is given and or funding is given to the hospitals to have the resources doesn't meet the need of these comp, this type of project delivery, you're never going to be able to add execute it. Right now, it supports more of the transactional. So yeah, to your point that also has to be done from a ministry level saying we need to look at how money is given the allocation of funding for these types. Riccardo Cosentino 35:15Okay, so I mean, if I gonna, I'm going to try to summarize I mean, I think my three takeaways is having the there needs to be a change in changing culture, and environment. In order to bring a different type of behaviors to the table, there needs to be a change in the way that risk is allocated, or better, we need to find a better way to share risk. We need to we will need to change some of the policies associated with procurement and project development. And if all this was to happen, then potentially we could have a rich IPD market in Ontario. Yeah, I think you separated and I think maybe IPD, just in its and probably negate everything I just said about why I'm passionate about IPD. But I, I, I think this would be true for any relational type of contracting like Alliance, Alliance, as well as IPD. They have similarities as we talked about earlier. But what you've summarize are critical for our marketplace to allow for different models.

How to Successfully Pivot Your Recruitment Agency into a Thriving Management Consultancy, with Colin Kleine, Ep #192

The Resilient Recruiter

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 27, 2023 61:41

Adding management consultancy as a service offering of your recruitment agency can potentially increase your revenue. But the question is, is it easier said than done? In this episode, you will hear insights from Colin Kleine, co-founder of Scalerr. They're a growth advisory firm that helps Tech companies reach their revenue goals through Strategy, Execution, and People. Colin discusses why he made the pivot from Recruiter into Management Consultant, and why recruitment was so fundamental in helping him successfully do it. He shared the challenges, key learnings, and how this transition benefits their business. I have known Colin since 2014, he's a former client and I've tracked his remarkable rise, especially since he launched Scalerr. Episode Outline and Highlights [02:07] Colin shared how he came across Mark and the learnings he took that transformed his billings. [05:34] The highs and lows that led Colin to start Scalerr. [11:45] Thriving during the longest COVID lockdown. [16:21] From recruitment to management consulting: Colin explains how their advisory services help clients expand internationally to increase their valuation. [28:49] Mark emphasizes how understanding the client's objectives rather than just filling roles can add more value. [38:14] How having a co-founder who is aligned with Collin's passion became a game-changer. [48:30] Colin shares the biggest challenges that he had to face when building Scalerr. [56:13] Key success factors and milestones that led Colin and Scalerr to where they are now. [1:00:46] Colin thanks Mark for being a mentor and inspiration throughout his career. Recruitment Skills and Experience Leading to Management Consulting How Colin pivoted from being just a recruiter to a management consultant is a story that I find fascinating. Aside from talent acquisition, Scalerr helps startup companies scale up and expand globally and increase their valuation. What propelled this shift? Colin shared three takeaways: Understanding their client's objectives and challenges. Colin and his team are focused on being consultative and understanding their client's journey, stresses, and pain points. Learning from experience: having helped more than 150 companies, Colin and his team learned what makes some businesses successful and some businesses fail. They have come up with a playbook that Leveraging his recruitment experience, Colin took lessons from the CEOs, VPs, and other key positions he placed. He said, “You learn information that somebody else is prepared to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for. So you start learning what is it that made some companies wildly successful? What is it that successful CEOs did to grow and scale a company and also understand how all of this ties in ultimately into valuation?” The management consulting arm of their business skyrocketed, leading Colin and his team to start a venture arm. Challenges and Solutions While Building Scalerr Just like all business owners, Colin faced a multitude of challenges when building Scalerr. I wanted to hear what his top challenges are and how his team was able to overcome them. He shared one particular challenge that resonates with many recruitment business owners: “Not enough hours in the day, as many entrepreneurs will do, and make this mistake of trying to do too much of it yourself. And I know there's going to be a lot of people listening to this podcast that know exactly what I'm talking about, not realizing when it's now time to start delegating things out and bringing somebody on board to do that, not knowing when to give up control and relinquish.” Colin emphasized the importance of systemizing and delegating tasks. Not doing so and becoming overwhelmed with tasks you can delegate will be a constraint to scaling your business. Creating a Flywheel: Pivotal Factors That Propelled Scalerr to Their Current Achievements Another topic that stood out to me is how Colin and his team were able to create a flywheel - their consultancy work feeds their recruitment segment and vice versa. Instead of solely relying on placements as a revenue stream, they were able to establish their consultancy to the point that it could be a standalone revenue source. Colin described it this way: “I think there's a lot of mutual value added and then you start speaking to them and introducing yourself and building a relationship, and more and more people know you, and guess what? They end up giving you recruitment work.” Colin also elaborated on the three pivotal factors that he believes contributed greatly to their current achievements: Diversification of where they source their leads. Foundational understanding of their clients on a business level. Creating their own flywheel and not solely relying on placements as a revenue source.

Analytics is something that everyone says they want, and some brag that they can analyze very well. But few people know what investment's required to build a quality analytics function, and even fewer are good at justifying its value. Our guest Martin McGarry is so passionate about analytics, as you'll see from his backstory, if anyone can articulate the business value of analytics, it's him. After completing a Bachelor of Science from The University of Manchester and studying at the University of Cambridge as a Doctoral Candidate, our guest worked in the UK analytics practice of a global Management Consultancy. Due for a change after 6 years of that, he moved to Ottawa Canada and founded his own consultancy so he could offer a more independent approach. A while later started the firm he's been leading for nearly 15 years, Bronson Analytics. In 2018 he began a recurring event in Ottawa called Beer & Analytics, which draws hundreds from the field together for learning and socializing. In 2022, the event went outside of Ottawa for the first time, being held in Toronto.

Neil is a retired partner of Deloitte LLP one of "The Big Four" Accountancy and Management Consultancy firms in London and we were intrigued to know the story behind his book and whether it was something he had always wanted to do... You'll hear his answer when you tune into our chat because like you, we were intrigued to know why now and why the story line he chose but as you will hear him say "it was always a plan to write a book in his retirement" We'll circle back to that... https://vimeo.com/773253506 The Story Set in the early months of 2020 Maybe It's About Time is a story about the difficulty of changing life for the better. The central characters are Marcus and Claire and how a chance encounter through a mutual friend, Gavin leads to an unlikely friendship all the while the early months of the pandemic were unfolding. We had to ask Neil whether Marcus was actually him but he assures us the character was totally fictional albeit he draws on his experience of what he describes as the egocentric world of professional service. Whilst full of humour, the story ultimately delivers a serious message about remaining true to our personal values and changing lives for the better. We began reading Maybe It's About Time on a transatlantic flight to Salt Lake City just recently. It was a large book to take on board but Susan was quickly engrossed (and the crew were intrigued to know was it a good book lol). I (Chris) get to read it next beacuse that's how we work together lol

Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/3D3fz1V Often the subject of cynical and dismissive media coverage, that emphasises high day rates, over-reliance on management jargon and little added value, management consultancy is a much-maligned profession. Yet, at their best, consultants help organisations set new directions, manage change effectively and generally improve business performance. Is it a profession with a future and how can consultants avoid joining the ranks of scriveners, patten-makers and other redundant occupations? Can those who claim to master change for their clients, change enough to survive? Drawing on research carried out by the Centre for Management Consulting Excellence, this webinar will ask some uncomfortable questions and propose where answers can be found. The ultimate beneficiaries of this process? Clients – and the long-term survival of the profession. Speaker: Nick Bush is the Director of the Centre for Management Consulting Excellence (CMCE), a voluntary organisation that is an open and collaborative for the assessment and sharing of leading and emerging practices in management consulting. Working in and around consulting since the early 1980s, Nick has consulted to organisations in sectors from chemicals to communications, government and financial services. He currently focuses on providing support to non-profit organisations as both an advisor and trustee.

Today's episode is a big milestone for the show, it's episode 80 of Climb In Consulting! When I started the show three years ago I never expected it to achieve what it has. I originally started the show as a hobby, something to give back to the industry, something to learn from. I thought I'd get a couple of listeners – mainly being my family – and it would be mothballed after just a few episodes. Needless to say that wasn't the case, and here we are 80 episodes later. I want to say a big thank you to you, my listeners, as without you the show would never have got to where it is today and it's because of you that I keep the show going. I love doing the podcast and my guests really enjoy it, but if there was no one listening, there'd be no point to it. As today is episode 80 I wanted to do something a little bit different and take a break from our usual interview format, to bring you a solo episode on a topic that myself and the team at Create Engage are getting a lot of questions on – What does marketing for consultancies look like ‘post-Covid'. As we slowly exit lockdown and go back to ‘normal life' many consultancies are starting to think about what this means for their marketing. Will digital marketing disappear? Should I be cancelling my webinars and booking boxes at Twickenham instead? Will remote and flexible working impact my marketing strategy? In today's episode I answer these questions and share the top four things that you'll want to be focusing on for your post-Covid marketing strategy. In today's episode I explain: - Why you need to be starting a podcast today and the hidden benefits it can bring to your consultancy. - Why webinars aren't going anywhere fast and what you're missing out on if you aren't running regular webinars for your firm. - How email has helped our clients during Lockdown and the reasons you should be building it in to your marketing strategy post-Covid. - And the tiny change you can make to your digital marketing to dramatically improve lead generation. The consulting market is ever changing and that's never been truer than it is today. Just as the world was turned on its head as the global pandemic started, we expect to see the same as we leave lockdown and your marketing has to respond accordingly. Whether you're just starting out and want to know how you can set your new consultancy on the best path for success, or you're a large boutique looking to refresh your marketing strategy, you're going to get a lot from this one.

Following the publication of “Know your options” Frank joined us to discuss what level of private sector participation a government can and should have in delivering long-term infrastructure projects. Key takeaways Although ‘Traditional’ models are compared to PPP, all models involve some level of private sector participation. This begs the question: What is the right level of participation for a specific project? To find the ‘optimal’ approach, Government must first agree and rank its objectives for a project. Common objectives often include the desire to transfer risk but deliver at the lowest possible cost – these are conflicting and need to be ranked to find an optimal solution The status quo must always be tested. External events (economic growth, Covid-19, new policy) result in constantly changing objectives for Government. The right level of private sector participation two years ago may not be the right level now Soft market testing can provide confidence in a new approach in a timely and efficient manner. For the cost of a coffee, potential issues with an approach can be identified early, and addressed before being released to the wider market

Joe has had a hugely wide-ranging career that's seen him go from Academia, in to consulting and back again, with a number of additional entrepreneurial ventures along the way. With such a varied career, and a unique mix of both practical and academic experience, Joe has a huge amount to share and gives so much in today's interview. When I say that Joe wrote the book on Management Consulting, I mean it very literally. His textbook “Management Consultancy” is the leading academic resource on our industry and is used by universities across the world to teach their students about consulting. But Joe's focus is more than just the academic side of the industry. Through his business Consulting Mastered he's advised a range of consulting businesses – from boutiques to global leaders - on how they can improve their organisations to help them grow effectively. Insights that he's currently building into his latest book and something we go in to detail on in today's show. We cover so many different facets of the industry in today's conversation and there really is something in here for everyone, from Joe's top tips for graduates looking land their first job in consulting, to the key insights from his upcoming book on what separates successful boutique consulting firms from their less successful peers. I found this conversation fascinating and it was great to get Joe's perspective as someone who truly knows all the ins and outs of the consulting industry.

Did I Choose My Trauma?A provocative question and title of a new self funded documentary short by today’s guest Yemi Penn. In this episode we hear about the project and the next steps for it to become a full length documentary and even a TV series exploring different aspects of trauma and our relationship to it. Yemi also shares how recent events involving Black Lives Matter and the collective willingness to have difficult conversations has inspired her.Yemi is a British born Nigerian living in Sydney, Australia. An Engineer by profession, an entrepreneur by passion, and mindset transformation coach by mission.The life she currently leads was not planned, nor did Yemi even imagine it was possible, having spent a big part of her childhood in Nigeria and being homeless some 13years ago. As a single parent to two children, she almost inherited the story that suggested life needed to be a struggle. Yemi describes herself as self-made, not just because of business success, which is unexpected for a solo parent to two kids, but because the legacy she’s intent on leaving goes well beyond imparting business tools but tools of self-empowerment, growth and contribution.Yemi currently runs four successful businesses; an engineering consultancy based in Sydney, an F45 Fitness Studio in Brixton, London, a Transformation business under the name Yemi Penn and her latest ‘baby’, Golden Thread Café in Sydney. Through her Management Consultancy in Sydney, Australia Yemi provides leadership and strategic direction to a range of clients and industries including: Sydney Metro, Transport for New South Wales, University of Technology Sydney, UNSW and F45 Training.People often wonder how Yemi manages to run four businesses and parent, the short answer she says is “I practice being in the NOW. When I do that I am able to effectively squeeze 40 hours out of a 24 hour day. My formula for achieving more in less time is insane! And is just one of the many tools I share within my personal programs”.Yemi is a living testament to the power of owning our story, stepping out of our shadow and finding our voice.Links to Yemi Penn and the Did I Choose My Trauma? documentary:Website ~ https://www.yemipenn.com/LinkedIn ~ https://www.linkedin.com/in/yemi-penn-nee-solanke-35413411/Kickstarter ~ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dicmt/did-i-choose-my-traumaLinks to When Women Speak:Website ~ https://www.wwsgn.com/Email ~ hello@wwsgn.comCHANGE HAPPENS When Women Speak campaign fundraiser ~ https://www.wwsgn.com/change-happens-slogan-tee-fundraiserFacebook page ~ https://www.facebook.com/whenwomenspeakglobalnetworkFacebook group ~ https://www.facebook.com/groups/whenwomenspeakSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=hello%40wwsgn.com¤cy_code=GBP&source=url)

Sign up to our newsletter for more in-depth insights | Follow us on LinkedIn Today's guest is a Russian-born, Australian-educated management consultant working at the epicentre of the data-driven revolution which is shaking the established corporate and investment orders. Our guests on this show manage businesses and money, and they need to understand where their industry is moving, its likely trajectory and the skills that will be required. In essence, how they should adapt, for as John F Kennedy observed “Change is the law of life, and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future” So in this episode, we discuss the evolving world of management consultancy and how their advice to companies is shifting. The discussion begins with Irene's escape from Russia, her upbringing in Australia and first employment at Pilkington Glass before moving to consultancy, initially at KPMG, then starting her own firm Molten before selling it to SIA partners. SIA partners today consults with 100 of the Global Fortune 500, specialising in the areas of AI, and data-led consulting, known as Consulting 4.0. Irene talks about changing business practices, the essential need for data to inform and improve decision making, from developing models to advise hotels on Airbnb pricing, to helping the French Alpine meteorological service improve predictions of avalanche dangers. She talks about communication in a zoom-altered world, the office of the future and debates whether younger employees can attain “equity” in their working relationships if done remotely. Finally Irene reflects on the resilience she acquired along the way, the qualities she looks for in hires, how firms can retain female employees more effectively and shares some lessons and advice from running her own business.

We recently had the tables turned on us and interviewed by long time friend and entrepreneur Jenni Proctor creator of Boomers Next Steps for her for Silver Sages series where she looks at how people have shifted their careers and started different businesses in the next chapter of their lives She called it "Be Inspired To Create An Online Business For Retirement" and we've titled this "Make Your Lifestyle Dreams Come True" https://vimeo.com/460953605 If you don't know our story (which you can read here) we had a successful Accountancy and Management Consultancy practice which involved working long hours. The business was good but we had no time and no balance of work and family life. This was not how we envisaged our later life - our retirement lifestyle - so we set about planning for our retirement... Long story short, our retirement lifestyle plans were blown out of the water when the Global Financial Crisis hit the world and we lost much of our retirement nest egg. We could have buried our heads in our hands and given up on our plans (and we're human so we did for a while) but after some deliberation we also realised it offered us an opportunity and led us to pursuing a career in the online world as "educators" as Jenni calls us. The decision to follow this path has fulfilled our dreams of a retirement business and lifestyle of time freedom and travel and best of all we're in a position to serve those just like us. We can only urge you to make your lifestyle dreams come true by taking action as early as possible and not procrastinate on your retirement planning decisions. They may not be easy to make and we cover some tips on that in our book which you can download here. We're sure it will help! Until next time...

In today's interview I speak to Irene Molodtsov, CEO of Sia Partners UK, Having started her career in manufacturing Irene quickly found her calling in management consulting and moved to KPMG to pursue her passion. When KPMG was sold to Atos, Irene and her co-founder decided the time was right to strike out on their own and do what they loved, helping organisations deliver major business transformation project. This led them to launch Molten which was subsequently acquired by Sia Partners in 2016. On joining Sia Partners, Irene took on the role of CEO of their UK business, continuing to build on the great work that she'd begun at Molten. In this conversation we dig in to a whole range of topics including: How Irene fell in love with consulting and how she decided to make the jump from a comfortable career at a global firm to launching Molten. Irene's take on Diversity and Inclusion in consulting and what the industry needs to do to help improve it. The future of the consulting industry, why it needs to be regulated and the importance of what Sia Partners have termed, Consulting 4.0, the next generation of consulting.

In today's episode, the first of 2020, we're heading back to our usual format as I chat with a fantastic new guest. I was introduced to today's guest by our mutual clients, Stephen Aldridge and Denver McCann at Numeritas who, having worked with him first hand, knew that he'd make a great guest for the show. Today's guest is Rob Garner, serial consulting entrepreneur, board advisor and most recently founder of Garwood Solutions, the advisory enablement and delivery consultancy focused on performance improvement in the professional services sector. Having climbed the ranks in KPMG Rob left to launch his first business, Avail, with his business partner Martin. From a standing start they grew the business to over 70 people in just 5 years. Ultimately selling the business to the Tribal group in a rather unique deal that we go in to detail on in today's show. In joining Tribal Rob took another step up, taking on the Managing Director role for their newly formed, 350 person consulting business and faced the daunting task of consolidating a collective of previously distinct public sector consultancies while also steering the business through one of the worst markets the sector had ever seen. Having started his own firm, built and sold a second and now advising a range of consulting business on how to successfully grow, Rob's seen a lot and has wealth of experience that he shares in today's conversation. We cover some really interesting topics in today's conversation, including: The unique deal that Rob and his co-founder created with Avail and the importance of building the right operating model when it comes to scaling a consulting business. How Rob and his management team were able to successfully navigate the public sector downturn during his time with Tribal and his lessons to others facing tough times in their businesses. And the advice Rob gives to the consulting businesses he works with and what you can learn from his experience to help you grow your own business and career. I really enjoyed speaking with Rob, he has a ton on of advice and insights to share from his journey and it was great to get the chance to dig in to these and learn the key principles that have helped him build the career he's had. I hope you enjoy today's conversation and that hearing Rob's story will encourage you to take that next step in your career, be it within your firm or striking out on your own.

Dave's story is a truly unique one and having got to know Dave over the last couple of month I knew he'd make a fantastic guest for this show. Unlike many of my guests who've started their businesses having spent years in their field Dave and his co-founder Adam launched Storm, straight out of university, deciding that they'd give it a go and if it all went wrong they'd call it a gap year and go back to the graduate milk round.

This interview isn't just for new graduates though. In growing Storm Dave and his co-founder Adam have built a successful business based on practices that many would not think could work in Consulting, including not working Friday afternoons and unlimited holiday allowances. We go in to detail on Dave's management philosophy during this conversation and why practices like these and the principles that underpin them have helped Storm achieve the success it has.

Today's guest is Charlie Hodgson, former England international and Saracens number 10 and founder of Charlie Hodgson Performance, his leadership coaching business. As a professional rugby player Charlie achieved everything you could want to over his 16 year career. He won multiple premiership titles with his club Saracens, played for England and went on the 2005 Lions tour. If this wasn't enough, he is also the all-time record point scorer in the premiership with 2,625 points scored. To put this into perspective if you don't follow rugby, the closest player too him who's still playing professionally has 1,569 points – almost a 1,000 points behind Charlie. As I've said before on this podcast I'm a big believer that you can and should learn from the best, regardless of their industry, and sport is no different. Given the hyper competitive nature of elite sport, teams are always looking for an edge and given Saracens success over recent years it was fascinating to sit down with Charlie and get his first-hand insights and advice of what led them to be so successful. Since retiring from professional rugby Charlie has combined his experience of developing winning teams at the top level of elite rugby with his coaching training and launched Charlie Hodgson Performance to help executives and their teams leverage the leadership principles from professional sport to develop their own high performing cultures. Charlie shares so many fascinating insights from both his sporting and business careers in this interview including: How his club Saracens were able to go from a midtable side to the best team in the league and the off field changes they made that were critical to this success. The importance of developing a positive and supportive culture in your organisation and the key elements to consider if you want to develop your own high performing team. How you can break down barriers between the different areas in your organisation and start to help your teams work together better. And much much more! It was great to get the chance to sit down with someone who has spent so long at the top of elite sport and learn what it takes to succeed at that level, both individually and as a team. There's so much in this conversation that you can apply to your career and your business and I know you're going to get a lot from what Charlie has to say.

Today's guest is Michael Mahony, Co-Founder of the Berkeley Partnership. Michael was one of four founding partners of The Berkeley Partnership, growing it from an idea to where it is today. In 2018 Michael retired from Berkeley and now works with a number of consulting firms, helping them shape their business strategies. Founded in 1990, The Berkeley Partnership is an independent Management Consultancy who work with many household names and global organisations helping them to develop strategies and transform their businesses. The Berekely partnership are unique in a number of ways and have successfully grown their business whilst doing the opposite of what most people would consider conventional consulting wisdom. They are industry agnostic, only recruit from the upper grades in Consulting, have an extremely low partner to Consultant ratio and are heavily focused on limiting the amount of travel their consultants have to do when delivering for their clients. The fascinating thing about Berkeley is that they've been able to build a thriving business by doing all of this and as Michael explains in our conversation, they've create a place that the partners and consultants want to work. Knowing some of the Berkeley story, I had always been intrigued by their model and how they'd been so successful while pursuing such an unorthodox approach. So when I was introduced to Michael, I jumped at the chance to get him on the show. We cover so many interesting topics in this episode including: What led Michael and his Co-founders to Launch Berkeley and how they managed to survive their early years, launching the business just before the 1991 recession. The Berkeley Partnership business model and how the team decided to set the firm up as they did. And Michael's advice to others thinking about launching their own consulting business I really enjoyed this conversation with Michael and it was great to get so much advice and insight from someone who has been involved in the industry for as long as he has. If you're a partner thinking about how to improve your own business or a Consultant thinking about going out on your own then this interview is a must listen.

Charles leads North Highland's UK and north eastern US practices, a $100 million dollar consulting business. While you might be expecting the typical consulting career journey, Charles has had the complete opposite and has a hugely varied career that has spanned working for a global consultancy, founding his own start up, working for a boutique consulting firm and then working his way up to where he is now. Outside of work Charles has undertaken some phenomenal adventures including climbing Mont Blanc and running the Marathon De Sables, the world's toughest foot race. In fact the reason that there was a slight delay on releasing this episode was that Charles was flying out the day after our interview to trek across the Artic! Charles's approach to growing a business, growing your career and enjoying your life were fascinating and no matter where you are on your journey there'll be something in here for you. We cover so many interesting topics in this conversation including: Charles' start up journey, what he learnt from failing and his advice to other thinking of going out on their own. The importance of culture when it comes to building a consulting firm and how North Highland have created a culture that is open and supportive while welcoming challenge from all levels of the firm. The differences and similarities when it comes to working across the UK and the US and the importance of understanding the culture of the region you're working in when it comes to building a Consulting business. How Charles fits adventures like his trip to the artic in to his schedule and his advice for others looking to balance work with doing more of the things they enjoy outside it. I really enjoyed this conversation with Charles.

Today's episode is a huge milestone for the show. It's the 40th episode of Climb in Consulting. It's been a great adventure so far and I'm looking forward to creating the next 40 episodes for you. A big thank you to all of my guests who have appeared on the show so far and a big thank you to you for listening to it! Without you I would have packed this up long ago. To celebrate 40 episodes I wanted to share my advice on one the biggest challenges I find Consultants, Consulting Leaders and Consulting Marketers face - Producing content. I speak to a ton of Consulting leaders and Consulting Heads of Marketing who say that they struggle to get content from their Consultants. Likewise I speak to Consultants who are desperate to create more content but just don't know how. In this episode I focus on the two reasons that I believe hold Consultants back from creating more content - fear and time. By resolving these two issues you'll be able to create significantly more content which will only benefit your firm and your own career.

Today's guest is Adil Khan. Adil was one of the founding team of Boxwood, the business transformation consultancy that following years of successful growth was acquired by KPMG in 2015. Since leaving Boxwood Adil now spends his time advising Consulting entrepreneurs on how to successfully grow their businesses and focusing on his own start up, Lifefyle. The goal of Lifefyle is to provide people with a simple, organised platform for their life admin, to give them the freedom to unlock their potential and thrive. You can find out more about Lifefyle at www.lifefyle.com Adil's story is rather different to what you might consider the typical journey of a Consulting entrepreneur. Unlike most, he didn't have a long track record in Consulting, having only spent a short time in the indsutry before stepping out to found boxwood with his co-founders who had spent equally little time in Consulting. This limited time in the industry proved to be the key to their success as they set out to create something very different from the typical Consulting model that was common at the time. We go in to detail on some really key parts of the Boxwood journey that I know you're going to find really interesting including: The importance of culture and how Adil and his co-founders defined their culture from the start and what they did to ensure it remained a core focus as they grew. The challenges of being responsible for both people and finance as Adil was. The natural tensions these functions often come up against and how Adil managed this. The Boxwood approach to working with clients, why this was so unique and what Consultants in today's Market could learn from it. And Adil's contrarian view on building a Consulting business to sell, why expanding internationally can actually reduce the value of your business and the sale of Boxwood to KPMG. A process I know a number of you have wanted to hear more about. I really enjoyed this conversation and it was great to get the perspective of someone who took a less orthodox route to success in Consulting. If you're not from the typical ‘big 4' Consulting background and want to know how you can turn this to your advantage or even if you are and want to know how you can use the principle from Boxwood to grow your business or practice area I know you're going to get a ton from this interview.

Today's guest is Lyndsey Oliver, AKA the Chief MsChief Maker Lyndsey is the founder and director of M4 Coaching and creator of Back to Work without a Bump® and Making MsChief®, the groundbreaking programmes designed to help retain, support and unleash the true potential of all human beings regardless of their labels. Lyndsey is a champion of working Mums and an advocate of gender balance in the workplace. She's passionate about helping parents (both male and female), female leaders and female business owners become the best versions of themselves, both in and out of work. I was introduced to Lyndsey by a former colleague and listener to the show who had worked with her through their parental leave and said that I had to get her on the show. The challenges that Lyndsey helps Consultants with are ones that many people in our industry deal with every day but ones that rarely get the attention they deserve. Knowing the positive impact that Lyndsey had had on this listener and others in my network I knew she'd make a fantastic guest and she certainly didn't disappoint. We cover some really deep topics in this interview including: The barriers that hold women back from climbing the career ladder - both structural and self imposed - and what Consulting firms and female leaders themselves can do to break through these. The relationship challenges that can face some Consultants as a result of the job and the conversations you should be having with your partner to ensure you're able to manage them. The challenges that parents face when it comes to building a career in Consulting and what their firms and they can do to manage these to help them achieve the balance of home and work life they're looking for. And finally, What those of us who are white men, like me, can do when it comes to diversity and inclusion in Consulting and how we can help improve it. This was a fantastic interview and we go in to detail on all of these topics. So much so we got carried away after the interview and kept going. As you'll hear towards the end of today's episode I've actually put some of our post interview conversation back in because I thought it was such an important topic for you to hear. For any regular listeners you'll also know that I often ask my guests for resources that they'd recommend you check out if you want to work on any of the things that we discuss. To help you with this Lyndsey has created a free workbook that you can use to help you identify your own biases - both conscious and unconscious - and start to think about how you can make positive changes to reduce these in day to day live. Whether you're a senior leader who is looking to be the best role model they can be or a junior consultant looking to understand more about themselves I'd highly recommend checking this out.

Today's Guest is Harry Gaskell, Chief Innovation Officer for EY UK and Ireland. What is a Chief Innovation Officer? Well that's something we discuss in today's show but at it's most basic, Harry is responsible for identifying emerging technologies to launch new platforms and products to help EY improve its clients' businesses. Prior to taking this role Harry was the Managing Partner of EY's UK & Ireland Advisory business which he grew from zero to £250m during his time at the helm. In addition to his work with EY Harry is the Chair of the Employers' Network for Equality and Inclusion, Chair of the Finance Committee for the University of the Arts, London and an angel investor and mentor to a number of innovative start ups. Harry was a fantastic guest with a truly unique perspective on the Consulting industry and how it's going to change over the coming years. If you're looking to understand how you can future proof your career and get to the top of the industry, or any industry for that matter, then you're going to love this conversation. We cover a whole host of topics including: What the Consultancy of the Future will look like and how the skills needed and the approach to working with clients is going to fundamentally change. The impacts these changes will have on the traditional Consulting Business model and the real world examples of how EYs use of emerging technology is resulting in them having to look at these questions now. How to foster a culture of innovation within your organisation and the common mistakes that Consultancies and large corporates make when it comes to innovation. And why taking some time out of Consulting could actually be the best thing for your long term Consulting career. Harry was as open as he was insightful and this episode has a huge amount for everyone.

Today's episode is a little different and I'm really excited to be sharing it with you. Instead of my normal interviews where I'm the one asking the questions, today's interview is taken from an event I attended last month, hosted by my good friend James Mitra at JBM Consulting. For those of you that don't know, JBM are an executive search firm that place top talent into high growth tech firms, fintechs and consultancies. They are also the talent partners to the Fintech focused Private equity firm Motive Partners which is where this event was held. When James told me who the speaker was going to be I said that we had to record it for the podcast and it certainly didn't disappoint. I'm a big believer that you can, and should, learn from the best. Regardless of their field. As you'll hear in today's interview, there are so many fantastic insights that are equally applicable to Consulting firms, and their clients, as there are to this guest's specific industry. For those of you listening to this outside of the UK, or for those of you in the UK who may have been living under a rock for the last 10 years, Moonpig are the UK's largest online card retailer with over 15 million cards sent through their online platform in 2017 alone. Iain was one of the early members of the Moonpig team and over his time as MD grew the business from a team of just 8 people, turning over £2,000,000 in to a team of over 160 turning over £60m a year. This phenomenal growth ultimately led to Moonpig being acquired by Photobox for £120m in 2011 James and Iain cover some really interesting topics in their conversation and the questions that follow including: Iain's journey to becoming the MD of Moonpig and the unorthodox approach he took to get there. The importance of using data when it comes to Marketing and how this helped Moonpig achieve it's rapid growth. How Iain and the team ensured they hired the best talent for the business and their unconventional approach for rewarding their team. The sale to Photobox and the steps they took from deciding to sell through to integrating the business with their new owners And the one I know many of you will want to know. How they decided on the name Moonpig and where the jingle came. It was great to meet Iain and I really enjoyed hearing his story and advice for those looking to grow their business as successfully as he did.

Today's guest is Seb Chamber Managing Partner of CIL Management Consultants. Seb was introduced to me by a previous guest of mine, Dom Moorhouse, as someone I must get on the show and Seb certainly didn't disappoint. Seb's route to Managing Partner is a really interesting story and one that while uncommon, gives an insight in to a lesser travelled route that I know many of you will be fascinated by. Instead of climbing the ladder to Partner Seb bought in to CIL, something that we discuss in detail in today's episode, and grew the firm from there. Before you think ‘well that's okay if you have plenty of cash', Seb didn't and there's a lot you can learn from Seb's approach here for those of you with aspirations to buy in to a business yourselves. But this is only part of Seb's story and we cover a range of topics in addition to this including: Growing a Consulting firm where the head office is based outside of London and why Seb sees their Froom head office (a town 30 minutes outside of Bath) as an asset to the firm. Seb's advice to those looking to climb the Consulting career ladder as well as those with aspirations to build a career at the top of their firms for as long as he has. The CIL meme wall, yes you heard me right, meme wall - the first I've seen in any consulting office – what this says about CILs culture and why culture is critical when starting and growing a business. I really enjoyed this wide ranging conversation with Seb and it was great to dig in to topics that I'd not discussed with any other guest before.

“How can we make Durban a more entrepreneur-friendly city?” - Mohamed Chohan We have this syndrome in South Africa where people think they must have a nice office, nice office furniture and a laptop to start a business. We hear it all the time that start-ups fail because they don’t have access to finance. Skill yourself first and the finance will follow. He calls it “bootstrapping”. "Keep it simple, know what you want to do, do the research and then work hard." Mohamed Chohan is the Managing Director at Startup Grind Durban. Previously he has worked as a Business Development Manager at RSAWEB and has completed a Bachelor's degree in Commerce from UKZN. He has also worked at Smartrac which is a Management Consultancy, Black Ticket Creative Bureau which is a Brand Consultancy and KPMG.

Employee Empowerment with Shawn Casemore

On this episode of Rhodes to Success, I interview Shawn Casemore, who is the author of Operational Empowerment. Shawn is an internationally recognized speaker and writer. He is also the Principal of Management Consultancy at Casemore and Company Inc. After a 17-year corporate career in operation and sales roles, Shawn launched his company in 2008 with the intention of helping CEOs, executives, and business leaders to enable individuals and teams to be more productive, engaged, and participate to accelerate the growth of the organization. During this show, we discuss workplace communication, empowering employees, how to deal with new employees, and the entrepreneurial lifestyle movement. Main Questions Asked: What made you leave the corporate world and become an entrepreneur? What do you mean by ‘empowering employees?' How will empowering employees increase your competitive advantage? How do you have a structure where there's no manager, but make sure new employees have a direct superior, to have someone to go to? Is there a movement toward entrepreneurial lifestyle and independent contracting jobs? Why did you decide to write a book that slams operational excellence and leadership as we know it? Key Lessons Learned: Your employees are most important, as they are the ones operating your company. If you can't get your employees engaged, then you will never be able to grow your business profitably. We have a 1 in 3 million chance we will run into an employee, boss, customer, and supplier that thinks and behaves the same way we do. This explains why there is so much conflict and poor communication in the workplace. Empowering Employees The empowerment of employees is all about autonomy. The management hierarchy that most businesses are built on was derived from the military, and is now out of date. Today's employees are the most highly educated that have ever been in the workforce throughout history. Employees today don't like being delegated down to, and are smart enough to not have to be. Zappos is an example of a company that has changed the structure so there are no managers. Achieving Empowerment Put people in cross-functional teams. This helps improve their experience, morale, and communication. Get rid of formal management and have team leaders who are self-selected by the teams. Create a community of people on the front line, and create the tools to get the communication from those teams to the people that matter. Operational Empowerment Every business has a series of operations such as the sales process and marketing systems. Empowering people is the key to a competitive advantage because it is the best way to service your customers. New Team Members Integrate team members into the interviewing process. Skills can be learned, but you can't train people to ‘fit' and force people to have the right dynamic. Hire for ‘fit' relative to the community and culture of the team. Building a team of people who work well together matters more than them working well with the boss. Entrepreneurial Lifestyle Movement The entrepreneurial lifestyle is more attractive to employees, as there is more independence. This movement allows people to have multiple streams of income. The millennials want the autonomy and variety that is offered by this lifestyle. Millennials are resistant to fit inside a mold. Subscribe to the show in iTunes or Stitcher Radio!

Glyn Blaize had a promising rugby career ahead of him in the late 90’s playing for Wasps, England Students U21s and Rugby Lions but his rugby career was cut short by a horrific sporting injury which saw him in hospital for six weeks. However this was the catalyst for Glyn to pursue a new career. He entered the recruitment industry in 1999 and went on to hold Commercial Director, Sales Director and Operation Director positions at fast growing SME recruitment business and now has over twelve years’ experience improving operational efficiency and sales strategy in Recruitment businesses. Earlier this year Glyn set up Addocura with Darren Ryemill (of Opus fame) and together they are building what they believe will be the ‘go-to’ Management Consultancy for the Recruitment Industry.

Welcome back to the continuing story of “Radio Fore”; the secret, long forgotten mothballed sister station for ‘Radio 4′. It was supposed to be a fresh start, a bolder, less middle-class approach to talk radio, but it all went terribly wrong. Now, in the basement passages of Broadcasting House stalks a lumpen, ghoulish, benighted creature, once known as ‘Radio Fore’, the ill-shapen bastard offspring of its elder sibling. However, some of the recorded shows occasional leak into the public domain…
