Consultant I solve what academics call ‘wicked’ problems. These are never clear cut challenges that will respond to formulaic interventions. More they are complicated conundrums that are themselves hard to understand. An organisation or community finds itself in a difficult place with no easy way out. Treat one symptom and something else goes wrong.Here are some characteristics of wicked problems:

 I use recognised strategies for solving wicked problems. First I encourage competition, polarising stakeholder stance and making the gap between them easier to see. Then I encourage collaboration to bridge the gap, often introducing new stakeholders able to meet previously unidentified needs. .......................................................................................................

....................................................................................................... "With four new books out in 2012 you could describe him as prolific. He is certainly energetic, with the curiosity of a three year old and an amazing ability to solve the most daunting enterprise conundrums. I can honestly say that if you're running a business, school, charity or campaign and everyone's telling you you'll fail; Robert's the man who'll help you prove them wrong." Tony Quinn, IQ Marketing ....................................................................................................... "I like Robert - he's a human-scale entrepreneur on a talk-circuit dominated by supposedly super-human entrepreneurs who most of us find it hard to relate to. He talks a lot of sense."
