IAN Pratt

I am a seasoned Business Transformation and Performance Optimization Specialist, with expert knowledge in leadership, operations management, project management, change management and business improvement.

Over 59,000 people read my thoughts on these topics each month.

I have worn many hats through my career – senior manager, program manager, senior change manager, six-sigma black belt, strategic planning manager, leadership coach, and operations consultant. I have a unique ability to manage multidisciplinary business transformation projects and to navigate complex challenges.

However, actual experiences have taught me that my professional value boils down to the following:
- I get people, I get relationships and how to bring people on a journey

- I adapt to the environment

- I inspire people to believe in a great future

- I am willing to bet on my ability to make things happen

- I am positive with a can-do attitude

- I am the calm one running at the fire

- I know the difference between noise and problems that need attention

- I have a deep toolkit

- I know what levers to pull to achieve results

- I dissolve resistance to change

- I coach leaders to create a stronger organization

I put my hand up to deliver the impossible business transformation projects, the difficult change and to solve the unsolvable problem. I then create a belief that the change will happen.

With the right approach, determination and support my clients consistently improve the performance of their business by over 100% and to their surprise, it does not take that long. Their complex problems get resolved and projects that were languishing become delivered.
