John Watters

UK Associate

My work with Bath Consultancy Group focuses on two strands:

Creating fast and sustainable breakthroughs in performance for organisations and partnerships. I address critical business issues and work with leaders at all levels to develop their capability to evolve the culture and positively impact performance. The track record in the public sector for this work is now substantial with enduring impact over time.

Introducing a simple, elegant approach to systems thinking and leadership based on the work of Barry Oshry, a leading systems theorist based in the United States. I have pioneered the introduction of Oshry’s work to organisations across Europe. I also run with BCG colleagues one or two day experiental programmes as part of leadership development or consulting programmes. 


Recent / Current projects:

Working with the UK Cabinet Office to introduce whole systems understanding and way of working to teams who are working on complex cross-government projects.

Major clients:

F. Hoffman-La Roche, UK Cabinet Office, NHS Scotland, Further Education Colleges, Ministry of Justice.

Career History:

In addition to my associateship at Bath Consultancy Group I have my own company Living Leadership. I worked for eight years in the Government and Public Sector practice of PwC where I pioneered the development of an integrative approach to public sector transformation. Over time the teams I led developed an impressive track record of working with local authorities to transform performance and create the conditions and capacity for sustainable improvement. In my twenties I was a general manager in the NHS working in all areas of the NHS: teaching hospital, primary and community healthcare, health promotion and a strategic health authority.

Education:

MSc, Change Agent Skills & Strategies, University of Surrey
MSc (Econ), Health Planning & Finance, London School of Economics
BCom (Hons), Business Studies, University of Edinburgh.

Publications or research interests:
