Julian Holmes’s Summary

I am a Director in the Human Capital practice of Deloitte consulting focusing on the Public Sector. I am a member of the Organisation Design (OD) team with experience in designing and implementing organisation design and change to address strategic and operational issues. My experience in designing and delivering operating models enables me to build teams to provide solutions with process, systems, asset and people elements. Also my extensive experience in implementation allows me to design sustainable change programmes. I have held both consulting and operational roles at a senior level and can act as the focal point for any organisation design programme.

Recent projects include:

Previously I ran a small consultancy business, Kerrfield Ltd which specialised in advising businesses interested in local-loop unbundling and BT's 21st century network plans. My customers were mainly ISPs and telcos.

Projects included:

Sourcing strategy
Long term strategic positioning
Business case preparation

At these businesses, I developed a number of skills and qualifications including strategy development, chartered accountancy, ERP implementation and (basic!) Japanese.
