On Co-Authoring Books - with Benjamin Tayler Benjamin has been in public service reform and organisational effectiveness for over 20 years. He’s always been an avid learner of systems thinking, which he traces back to reading his dad’s 60s and 70s Sci-Fi novels, studying philosophy (with politics and economics at Oxford University), and being an outsider. He describes himself as a business evolutionary. He began work as a database developer, personal carer, and at a youth development charity then worked on the front line in a local authority advice centre. He spent seven years at the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham as Adviser to Leader, eGovernment Manager, and procuring a strategic partner. At PwC and Sector Projects (part of Capita), his work included customer strategy for Birmingham City Council and advice to the Government of Armenia. He founded RedQuadrant in 2009, now a top ten public service transformation consultancy. Benjamin established the Public Service Transformation Academy, a not-for-profit social enterprise which builds the capacity of public services to transform themselves, with the UK Cabinet Office Commissioning Academy as the ‘jewel in the crown’ of its offer. He has also lectured in applied systems thinking at Cass Business School, City University, and at Nottingham Business School and Oxford Said/HEC Paris. Benjamin is particularly interested in system leadership, #systemschange, service design, and service transformation. He holds a lean six sigma black belt and is an accredited power+systems trainer. He believes passionately in the possibilities of transformation , that all meaningful public service challenges require a cross-sector, interdisciplinary approach, and in the power of systems thinking afnd system leadership to improve the experience of organisations and public services for employees, customers, and citizens. @antlerboy www.linkedin.com/in/antlerboy [email protected] +44(0)7931317230 ----- Get FREE access to the Community Toolkit with additional trainings recorded by the guests for you: http://inside.booksmind.com (previously I called it Mentors Library). ----- Hook up with my open community group on Facebook: ► https://www.facebook.com/groups/GH4BCC ► CONNECT WITH ME!
