Neil Farmer is a leading change management consultant, specialising in the design and implementation of major people-intensive change.  He entered consultancy 25 years ago when he joined the ground-breaking research and consultancy firm Butler Cox.  His consulting experience since then includes major change management assignments, radical business re-engineering projects, extensive organisational design work, a wide variety of business change strategies and HR/job design activities associated with very large change implementation projects. 

Neil has worked on all the major stages of the contracting-out process in large organisations.  He has developed and successfully used innovative approaches to implementing business change, focusing on the informal (or shadow) business organisation with particular strengths in identifying and effectively addressing key cultural issues to deliver an efficient, motivated workforce within new work environments.  In particular, he works closely with ‘influencers’ – as well as managers – in both public and private sector organisations to speed up profound cultural change and new ways of working.

We apply the Influence/Balancer Technique (IBT) – a comprehensive process covering all aspects of the human side of change.
