Neil has an MA in Natural Sciences and MSc Chemistry. He has an
extensive senior managerial experience in sales, marketing and business
leadership in major international business within a large corporation.
He got also expertise in consultancy to improve organisational
performance (soft systems, management cybernetics, environmental
management systems) in public and private sectors. He has developed and
delivers a teaching programme at Manchester Business School and he is an
active consultant to major international healthcare Company (SSL
International plc) for specialist recruitment and other management
services.
In the area of management he had an important leadership position in the
restructuring of a mature chemicals business which involved (a)
developing and initiating strategic responses to a desperate business
performance, (b) developing positive, market-led initiatives within a
broad environment of business retrenchment and (c) managing the human
and organisational implications of numbers reduction (50%). As a
consultant he contributed to developing a small consultancy practice
(Imago Management) with supporting networks of other consultants and
academics, with expertise in systems methodologies. He has also
established a well-regarded "Environmental Management and Corporate
Strategy" option for second-year MBA students at a leading Business
School, which uses Systems Dynamics and Soft Systems Methodology.
He has produced several publications relating to research carried out in
support of the above activities focusing on new approaches to management
problems. Also he has delivered papers to each of the last 4 UKSS
International Conferences and published a paper on work on Business
Teams in ICI in Systems Practice (1997) and a paper on Sustainability
(jointly with Raul Espejo) published in Systems Research and Behavioural
Science (1998), both using VSM as the core systems idea.
Currently he is a freelance consultant and teacher (Imago Management)
and a Visiting Fellow at Manchester Business School. |
