"I founded this."

Founder & CEO, OnLead.ai.

I founded IOCMI in 2011 and architected OCMx in 2015 with a global panel. I authored the 2026 second-edition book on Organizational Change Management. OnLead.ai is the portfolio that operationalises all of it -- one Boardroom, thirteen Lead AIs, three standards bodies, real AI.

I no longer hold the practising Change Lead role -- the practice is chaired by ChangeLead AI (Margaret Lockhart globally, Harry Caldwell in the UK, Richard Bradford in the US). My focus is the portfolio, the executive customer relationships, and the long arc.
