Nick Dobson

PAshton — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 11:40:26 +0000

A fascination with change has shaped Nick’s career over the past thirty years. Arriving in project management, like so many people, by mistake, Nick soon realised that the only ‘game in town’ was achieving lasting change.

The logical step, for him, was to focus on the ‘engine of change’ – individuals and their belief systems. Working in a wide variety of change projects and programmes, in both public and private sectors, Nick has been particularly successful in helping individuals at all organisational levels to review and, where appropriate, positively modify beliefs and behaviours.

In a vague attempt to keep the consequence of Nick’s passion for cooking, food and drink at bay he tries to squeeze in as much cycling, swimming and hill walking as possible.

Bernard Murray-Gates, Principal Consultant

PAshton — Thu, 21 May 2015 14:53:39 +0000

Bernard supports clients through their business change journeys: from challenging, structuring and scoping the proposals, through achieving buy-in and resolving conflicts, to ensuring that the change is adopted and sustained, and the benefits realised.

Bernard has an extremely warm personality and has been working in change management environments for most of his professional career. Having started in IT technical delivery, he ‘jumped the fence’ early on to become involved from the business perspective in the planning, integration and adoption of change.

Home life is hectic at times: he enjoys the company of a colourful (and slightly mad) cast of characters who frequently come to stay, drawn from a wide family circle encompassing four generations and four continents.

Bernard can be contacted by email at BMurray-Gates@citi.co.uk phone on +44(0)1908 283 600
