About Roy Grubb FBCS CITP
Roy Grubb is a proven problem solver and can help you find new approaches to business in today's volatile and challenging business environment.
He uses visual thinking and group facilitation within the discipline of Enterprise Architecture to help teams or individuals look afresh at how products and services are delivered, how information is used and managed, and how new markets can be reached on line. He undertakes visual modeling of business processes, information systems and knowledge capture with the aim of communicating better with all parties, providing greater flexibility and resilience.
Visual methods help in deep situational awareness and re-framing before tackling business problems. He analyzes information systems problems first from a business rather than a technology viewpoint (his preferred approach is a thinking framework described here in Wikipedia). His policy is to transfer skills to client staff where possible.
This independent consultant began in Hong Kong in 1981 and has undertaken assignments in USA, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, France, Scandanavia, Ireland and, of course, Hong Kong.
Roy Grubb has broad management consulting experience of over 30 years, with assignments in Europe, USA, and Asia. He has used visual information-mapping techniques for all of that time.
