Consulting

I am a strategy and sustainability consultant based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. While I am mostly retired, I still do some consulting for the right clients on the right topics.

Focus

My three main focus areas for my practice now are: 

1. "Honest climate strategy," helping companies get past the jargon, politics, bureaucracy and ideology of climate change and focus on the real impacts climate change will have on them, and they can have on climate change.
2. Next-generation EHS/ESG/Sustainability leaders. My generation clearly didn't solve everything. The next generation of leaders will have to clean up the mess we're leaving them. I am trying to help them get as strong a foundation and as good a start as possible.
3. Managing through disruptions. We've all been through a lot in the last 10 years. We've had to cope with disruptions from pandemics, economics and politics. We're still in an on-going disruption now. There are no magic answers and no certainties, but there are lessons we've learned that can help find your way through the fog.

Approach

My work applies insights gained from working closely with Governors, Senators, CEOs, publicly and privately held businesses, huge multinationals, small start-ups, non-profits and NGOs. The approach reflects the perspective of having filled many different roles, including consultant, consultancy leader and consulting client; implementer, advisor, agency/function leader, and Board member; teacher, trainer and student.

In practice, this means that my engagements are based on five principles:

1. Start with diagnostics. Don’t assume that the solution to the last client should be “cut and pasted” for the next client.
2. Do work with clients, not to them. It’s their organization and their career, and has to be their solution.
3. Always remember that both outcome and experience matter. Getting to the right results is everything. Creating the right customer/user experience throughout the whole process is everything, too.
4. Be practical. Clever and elegant solutions may create good work samples, but they may not produce the outcomes clients need. Challenge assumptions and aspirations, but never lose sight of reality.
5. Focus on intimacy not scale. Help the client get to the right outcome simply and quickly. Don’t complicate or expand challenges to add more work or feed more mouths.
