One-Line Bio

Consultant on organizational dynamics and management practice. Author of two books.

Biography

I am Director of Chris Rodgers Consulting Ltd and published author; working as an independent consultant and speaker on organizational dynamics and management practice since 1998.

As a consultant, I have worked with clients in all nations of the UK, as well as in Europe, South East Asia and Australasia. This has included a range of organizations in the private and public sectors; working both independently and, on occasion, in association with others.

I have written two books: Informal Coalitions - Mastering the hidden dynamics of organizational change (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007) and The Wiggly World of Organization - Muddling through with purpose, courage and skill (Routledge, 2021).

Between 2008 and 2020, I was Honorary Senior Visiting Fellow in the Faculty of Management at Cass (now Bayes) Business School, City University, London.

Before becoming a consultant, I was a senior manager in the UK power industry, during the period of its groundbreaking privatisation and commercial development.

I gained an MSc in Managing Change from Sheffield Business School in 1999, and am a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute (FCMI). Between 2005 and 2022, I also ran a network of senior OD practitioners, in central London.
