ABOUT JOHN OGDEN

A former chief executive turned self-employed consultant, John understands the value of a fresh pair of eyes on a business, particularly to those fixed by the day-to-day challenges of running it or concerned about its performance. He provides a reinvigorated focus on what a business’ aims and outcomes should be in order to appropriately shape activities and outputs. A critical friend and a supportive mentor who, having learnt from his own mistakes, can provide an impartial review of your situation, practical advice on how to improve things, and a way forward to rapid results that add real value. To do so he draws upon his extensive experience in strategic planning, operational management, organisational change, problem solving, leadership, and team building. This has been gained from a rich variety of appointments, which have included directing a major recruiting operation, managing a large training organisation, running a £100M+ turnover equipment support business, and planning and conducting complex operations. These varied career challenges have given him a nose for trouble, an ability to see the wood for the trees, and the skill to develop practical solutions that people readily buy into. He builds personal and effective partnerships quickly and easily, has a keen sense of how to get the best out of people, and has used this to solve some particularly challenging problems, drive cultural and organisational change, manage both major programmes and smaller projects, and generate numerous successful outcomes. He helps businesses find practical steps to rapid results that add real value so, if you are looking for improved Productivity and Profit through well-motivated People, Problems solved, and Planning smarter, book a free 30 minute exploratory discussion with him now and find out how.
