Director
The
Imaginist Company
Peter
Duschinsky is a change management consultant with over 30
years of experience of bringing best practice and new ways
of working into the UK business and public sectors. |
After
a career in BT, Peter moved into best practice programme management
to run a national best practice experience-sharing group and was
for 8 years a director of BuyIT, the national e-business experience-sharing
and best practice organisation, where in 2000 he established the
e-Procurement Best Practice Group, with 40+ senior level members
from industry, trade & professional institutions and government.
In 2003,
Peter left BuyIT to set up The Imaginist Company in order to focus
on helping smaller companies survive and thrive in e-business and
became an acknowledged expert in the complex public sector customer/supporter
relationship with SMEs. During 2002-4 he led the Supplier Adoption
strand of the local government National e-Procurement Project (NePP),
where his work helped to form current government policy towards
SME suppliers.
This work
led to his developing a new capability/complexity assessment methodology:
INPACT (Integrated
Process and
Culture Transformation)
to help his clients improve the level of success from their modernisation
and change projects. He
has set out the principles of his approach in his new book, The
Change
|
Equation,
available on Amazon.
The
promise to potential clients is:
“Within
days, we can predict the success or failure of your change
project, help you to gain ownership of the risks and provide
you a route map and action plan to address them”
