Following the success of our leadership development programmes, we have recently expanded our team of consultants and are pleased to announce that Keith Patching is our new Head of Leadership Development.
He has qualifications in most of the leading psychometric and assessment tools. In addition he has developed a unique suite of instruments to help identify individuals’ primary motivators and values, and the means of evaluating the degree of match between individuals’ primary drivers and the values actively promoted within their organizations. These instruments have been used internationally as a key part of many of his clients’ leadership development strategies.
He has been independently responsible for running development projects and programmes in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North and South America that have ranged from tailored courses to one-to-one coaching. He specialises in team development and dynamics, and helps individuals, teams and organisations to become more effective through the development and implementation of individuals’ unique potential and strengths.
He is also a visiting fellow at Cranfield School of Management, where he previously held the post of Director of the Management Development Unit. In that role he was responsible for a number of Faculty and Business Development activities. He is a leading practitioner of learning design, having worked on hundreds of uniquely tailored leadership and management development programmes over a period of over twenty years. His primary focus is ensuring that effective learning takes place, and this is achieved by a blend of research and teaching at the leading edge of learning theory.
Keith graduated with degrees in Philosophy and Social Anthropology from Oxford University, and has subsequently worked in a variety of industries, including computing, financial services and manufacturing. Since leaving Cranfield he has consulted with a large number of international clients on the development of their strategies for organisation and leadership development.
Recent clients have included: Barclays Capital, Citigroup, Lucent Technologies, Morgan Stanley, Phillip Morris, Toshiba, Oracle, Sara Lee, NCR, European Investment Fund.
