Industry Experience

Since 2010, around 10 million daily journeys through London are processed through IT systems Russ Lewis helped Transport for London design and build.

Bridging the Business-IT Gap

Although the gap is real, the needs of business and limitations of technology are resolved by helping stakeholders clarify shared outcomes.

Competence through Diversity

Sensing the world differently to neurotypical people, Russ Lewis designs and delivers learning experiences that are engaging and effective for everyone.

Whilst diversity, equality and inclusion are new challenges for some, they are essential for communicating new concepts and ways of working to senior managers and established teams. 

Evidence-Based Practice  

Russ Lewis was awarded a distinction for his Master's dissertation on Organisational Agility in 2017. That work identified the need to better explain managers' role in improving agility. 

In 2021, Russ Lewis began his Doctoral Research, exploring managers as leaders of agile transformation, by overcoming  the barriers to business agility.

OPERATING MODEL

Digital age businesses adapt quickly to new technology and social expectations. Transformational leadership overcomes inertia and inspires managers to continually improve the operating model.

GOVERNANCE & CONTROLS

Many established firms struggle to respond to market changes because of outdated control mechanisms. Replacing inward-facing constraints with customer-facing feedback loops enables high performance.

FINANCE & BUDGETS

Ways of Working: 5 improvements for leaders
Russ Lewis
No Comments

Most ways of working still rely on functional hierarchy, where managers make decisions and workers do the work. Managers know they can't change this work structure, but they can transform its effectiveness without asking for permission and without needing a budget. Before exploring the changes that transform the way people work, we need to recognise […]
