Explore Current Projects
My projects aim to bring insight and practical action for regulators to help them through the current challenges many face.
Get in touch to find out more about these projects, to get involved, or to book a seminar or workshop to dive into their implications for your organisation.
Representation of the People Bill
With trust in political institutions at a deep low, is this Bill going to bring the boost in confidence that our democracy needs? Explore the impact of the proposals and ongoing amendments on political money, parties, and campaigning with an expert with more than a decade of experience in political regulation.
Principles-Based Regulation
The new(ish) trend in regulation can support the UK Government's growth agenda and make regulators responsive and effective. But only if the risks are fully understood and managed. Explore how to implement principles-based regulation without creating decision inertia or sector confusion.
System Leadership
Regulators know they need to work together to navigate a complex, dynamic society and economy. The challenge is embedding a deeply connected implementation culture. Explore the challenges and solutions to equipping your staff with the skills, confidence and motivation to lead and influence at every level.
Accountability and Judgement
When a legal duty of candour for public officials is necessary, the accountability culture needs to shift. Match that with increasing scrutiny of senior officials and the risk of judgements being challenged in the political as well as the legal arena, and decision-makers have a lot to consider. Explore structured ways to make decisions amid uncertainty and make accountability part of your skill set.

RAW IDENTITY
Not much is asked of regulators. Just:
Drive Growth
Adopt Technologies
Influence Governments
Be Principled and Proportionate
Take Firm Action
The asks made of regulation challenge, motivate and reward at all levels - from new entrants to experienced board chairs.
After 20+ years in regulation, including a decade in senior leadership and two executive roles, the dedication across the regulatory community to social, economic and public good continues to drive me to support others in this profession.

Example Topics for Keynotes and Workshops
Composure Under Scrutiny
Scrutiny and pressure can harm the judgement of both individuals and organisations, leading to inertia, defensiveness or rushed decisions.
Learn a simple framework to maintain composure. Explore real life experiences of media, parliamentary and political scrutiny. And in the workshop format, practice responding to scrutiny with calm and presence.
AI-Augmented Strategy
The strategic and ethical implementation of AI is an expectation now, and can bring significant benefits. For non-specialist executives and non-executives, the key is using AI to augment workflows, not replace your skilled and experienced teams.
Adapt your AI mindset to the augmented organisation, exploring integration, user-focus and measuring its impact.
Uncertain Information
When did you last have all the facts before making a strategic or high impact decision?
Uncertainty should not be feared or avoided. It can be a powerful part of your decision-making, bringing flexibility and agility to your approach.
Explore the impact of embracing uncertainty as part of the context we work in.
Principles-Based Ethics
As parliaments ask regulators to write the codes, regulations and guides that implement the laws they pass, how can ethical standards be incorporated consistently and fairly?
Covering system leadership and values, discuss how to design incentives for more than lawful behaviour, but ethical behaviour even in a world of diversity and complexity.
