Ep 11 - Embedding Engagement in Your Organisation's DNA, with Paul McGregor

Introducing Paul McGregor and a New Model Beyond Consultation’s very own host, Paul McGregor, is leading us into 2021 with a new transformational model being developed at Business Lab (currently at the prototype stage). When he's not delving deep into going beyond consultation with incredible guests, Paul is bringing energy through his facilitation and leading exciting projects, establishing models and working with diverse organisations and community. Paul is an action taker. He sees something that doesn’t work well. Gathers data. Learns. Makes transformation happen. Through his consulting work he recognised this continuous pattern of community engagement being treated as an afterthought. Driven by his passion to see organisations having engagement embedded into their DNA, the prototype was born. Bursting to share feedback on the model?
