Hello!
I'm Bob Dick. That's me, above. These days I think of myself as an independent scholar, an educator, facilitator, coach, and change consultant. I'm Brisbane-based, and also work elsewhere in Australia and nearby.
I'm avidly interested in consultancy and facilitation work that's stimulating, worthwhile, and helps to make the world a better place. I very much prefer highly participative assignments, with wide involvement of those people who have a stake in what's happening. I prefer to work in ways that help the people I work with to acquire my skills and processes by working with me.
And I enjoy being enticed into new collaborative work that lies within the margins of my skill and experience.
Here are examples of some of the work I do ...
• Consulting, mentoring and coaching for consultants and others • Action learning programs for leadership development • Building high performance teams collaboratively • Coaching leaders and emerging leaders • Assisting with cultural change using action learning • Building organisational resilience using action learning • Design and facilitation of change programs • Participative diagnosis and evaluation • Team building, communication and conflict management • Helping apply complexity theory to "wicked" problems • De-bureaucratising organisations • Facilitating strategic planning and decision-making • Facilitating in-house (and public) workshops • Lots more in the general area of participative change • (and you're very welcome to entice me into new territory)
I've been doing this kind of work for quite a while -- about 45 years -- and
I'm still learning. I enjoy it even more than I did when I was starting
out. If I wasn't doing it as a career I'd do it as a hobby.
If you'd like more information, there's a detailed CV here as a pdf file.
