Do you get a seat at your clients’ strategic discussions? If not, what will it take to get you there?
We are somewhat unusual in the space that we operate, in that the Rockborne partners are all industry and consulting veterans, and so have a very different perspective and skill set which means that we often help our clients to shape their long-term data and talent strategies. We all have a great depth of experience of transforming businesses thought data and analytics and that allows us to have a different kind of conversation with our clients.
What are your key areas of focus for the business in 2022?
We are very proud to be opening our second, multi-classroom training facility, allowing us to deliver against our growth objectives whilst still maintaining the highest possible standards, and being able to focus on helping to address the diversity imbalance. As well as rapidly increasing the number of graduate consultants who will be available to our clients, we will also be adding to our curriculum to broaden and enhance our learning opportunities as well as delivering on new skill sets and technologies.
How do you apply your leadership skills a) within your own business and b) on behalf of your clients?
I see my role within Rockborne as being very simple. I focus on quality, I try to make the right key decisions supported by a great team who have as much autonomy as possible, and I look to make sure that we only hire the best people. For my clients, it is very much the same, as I want them to benefit from the quality of the consultants that we can provide, and the long-term strategic support that we can give them.
