HOST Policy Research: The Team
Peter Duschinsky
Peter Duschinsky is a change management consultant with many years of experience of bringing best practice and new ways of working into the UK business and public sectors. After a career in BT, Peter moved into best practice programme management to run a national best practice experience-sharing group and was for eight years a director of BuyIT, the national e-business experience-sharing and best practice organisation, where in 2000 he established the e-Procurement Best Practice Group, with 40+ senior level members from industry, trade and professional institutions and government.
In 2003, Peter left BuyIT to set up The Imaginist Company in order to focus on helping smaller companies survive and thrive in e-business and became an acknowledged expert in the complex relationship between the public sector and its SME suppliers. During 2002-2006 he led the Supplier Adoption strand of the local government National e-Procurement Project (NePP), where his work influenced government to recognise the need for an economically sustainable e-procurement policy, inclusive of SME suppliers.
Peter’s experience of working with local authorities led to his developing a new capability/complexity assessment methodology to help his clients improve the level of success from their modernisation and change projects. He set out the principles of his approach in his book, ‘The Change Equation’, published in November 2009.
Peter specialises in assessing and supporting strategic and culture change in private and public sector organisations in the UK and, under the 'bethechange' brand, the non-profit sector in the UK and across the world. Usually working with a team of associates and partners, Peter undertakes projects and programmes which involve research, assessment and analysis, sometimes requiring ‘quantum’ thinking and the creation of new approaches, in other cases, development of clearly articulated guidelines and policy documents for dissemination. An NLP trained communicator, Peter has an excellent track record of bringing together, coordinating and leading experts, associates and partners to achieve high quality results, on time and within budget.
Peter is a founding member of The Coaching Academy, and member of the Chartered Institute of Purchase and Supply and Institute of Engineering and Technology. He is married with two grown-up offspring, who are off changing the world - one as a global philanthropy consultant and the other treating stress-related illness. By comparison, helping managers to get their projects to succeed is child’s play!
