021_Benjamin Taylor: This week I am talking with Benjamin Taylor about Systems Leadership, Barry Oshry and his deep commitment to transform public services. His core purpose is improving the lives of those most in need of support. Benjamin has built his consultancy, RedQuadrant, into a dynamic resource for helping UK governments agencies, charities and NGOs. The depth and breadth of his knowledge and experience in providing the most useful resource and intervention to match the situation is based on his mastery of multiple change frameworks and tools. And to prove it, he has brought his treasure chest and parked it just down below. Enjoy.
