Prof. John Curran

I am an organisational development consultant, with over 20 years consulting for public sector organisations and global brands. I combine my expertise in the social sciences with process consulting, executive and systemic team coaching and strategic change in order to work with senior leaders and their teams to develop dynamic and collaborative organisational cultures that connect their values with those of their employees, and wider stakeholders. 

At the core of my work is a human-centred philosophy that embodies a systemic, facilitative and empathetic approach in order to generate positive and sustainable organisational cultures. As one of the pioneers of organisational anthropology, I developed the use of ethnographic and qualitative research to understand the deep-rooted cultural drivers that make teams and organisations think and behave in the ways that they do. This leads to identifying areas for change and development. I hold a PhD in Social Anthropology and have formal training in executive coaching (EMCC, EQA), systemic team coaching, facilitation, organisational process consulting, qualitative research and group psychoanalysis. I am a guest lecturer at Bayes Business School and a Visiting Scholar at the Royal College of Art in design anthropology. I am a fellow at the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), a TEDx speaker.
