About Karen (in her own words)

I am a self-professed organisational change and service management rebel WITH a cause!

I push the boundaries of the profession and challenge traditional ways of thinking. I explore and develop new approaches that are guaranteed to make things better for all.

Acclaimed internationally as an expert in my field, I provide both strategic and practical advice and insights to my audiences.

My ability to share my experience and knowledge ensures that everyone is empowered to make a difference within their organisation.
I am obsessed with the people side of change in a world in which change is constant volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
I have the firm belief that resilience in the face of relentless change is key to organisational survival.

2021 saw the publication of the revised edition of the breakthrough publication ‘Balanced Diversity – A Portfolio Approach to Organisational Change’ introducing an innovative framework for ensuring that organisational changes become embedded into the fabric of the organisation. 

2019 saw the publication of my second book “Game On! Change is Constant. Tactics to Win When Leading Change is Everyone’s Business". It explores how every organisation can be fit, skilled, capable, supported and well-prepared for constant change.

My third and fourth books “Unleash the Resiliator™ Within” were published in 2020. The handbook for individuals enables everyone to be resilient in the face of constant change. The handbook for leaders enables leaders to create, maintain and sustain an environment in which resilience can thrive.
