Officer

I help Senior Leaders and their teams to craft strategies that deliver their business goals and improve their collective performance and team alignment along the way.

With a background of 20 years working with over 250 Senior Leadership Teams (many of those CIO and Senior Technology teams), experience as a McKinsey & Company consultant and as a Royal Marines Officer, I bring a set of skills in facilitation, strategy, leadership, and high-performance team development that combined together is quite unusual.

Why Work With Me?

I offer Senior Leaders a unique approach that combines strategy development and team development - done in parallel, each part accelerating and amplifying the other. The process I use has been tried and tested over many years. It delivers both a strategy and the makings of a high-performance Senior Leadership team in weeks, not months. This ensures not just a strategy but a team ready to implement it.

And of course, it is far better value for money than hiring a large management consulting firm who will deliver you a 200-page PowerPoint deck with little buy-in from your people.

Client Testimonials

'Antony has been working with me and my senior IT leadership team for the last 12 months to develop, refine, and start implementing our strategy.

Thanks to him, we now have an ambitious yet simple and very workable strategy, my management team is totally aligned and committed to implementing that strategy, and the other members of our department now have a clear direction and common way of working together that has already improved our performance.

This is the direct result of the very innovative, yet practical and efficient process that Antony uses for developing strategies that include all the team members, combined with the unique way that he facilitates workshops and meetings. We would not have achieved so much so quickly without Antony's support. I strongly recommend his services to other CIOs.' - CIO of a Global Apparel Company

Royal Marines Officer

I believe that with strong leadership, a systematic approach, and stable technology, any competent team, with continuity, can achieve excellence. Since 2005, I have completely immersed myself in the business of accelerated improvement; supporting leaders and teams in the energy sector, to unlock their potential and exceed expectations.

I have also focused on accelerating my own improvement in the sport of CrossFit, applying the principles of “acceleration to automatic” in the areas of nutrition, preparation, training, and recovery.

In parallel I have read and listened to hundreds of performance related books, while also writing five of my own. I contributed to an Amazon #1 bestseller to raise money for charity during COVID-19.

I strongly believe that any competent individual or team can unlock full potential by implementing the right system to the point where best-practice is automatic. 

This requires mindset, method, and "moodset".

Mindset is led by leadership! It involves openness to possibility, openness to objective assessment, openness to coaching, and a belief in better. It includes optimism and resilience in equal measure. Mindset is critical for initiative, then essential for acceleration to automatic.

Method is system-discipline. It requires an uncompromising adherence to proven process even when it is the last thing anyone feels like doing. The process may not be perfect, but it certainly works. Method allows repeated practice to become automatic.

Moodset describes the prevailing performance-climate. It includes intangible but invaluable behaviours and deliverables which maintain the right atmosphere for team excellence. Moodset is the magic which helps mindset and method to move mountains…

At Exceed, our expertise is in accelerating the team building and learning curve using proven best practice to achieve safer, more efficient operations at reduced operational cost, leading to earlier production and enhanced company reputation. 

We can also partner you to mobilise valuable project know-how from one campaign to the next in order to sustain high performance, and to get it right first time in any environment.

Specialties: Using personal influence and proven methodology to coach process excellence, leadership skills, effective communication, and team engagement, to accelerate the natural improvement curve on front line operations, thus saving time and cost and driving a safe, positive high-performance culture.

Passionate about: Inspiration - the ability to inspire ourselves and others to achieve more than we believed possible.
