Resource-Ful Consulting: Working with Your Presence and Identity in Consulting to Change. Karen Izod and Susan Rosina Whittle. London:  Karnac, 2014

Associate Professor in Knowledge Exchange at the Bristol Business School (University of the West of England), where she plays an active role in the design and delivery of leadership development and executive education programmes, many of them in the health sector. She is programme lead on the BA Business (Team Entrepreneurship), which takes a highly innovative approach to “learning by doing”, where students form team companies and staff take the role of “team coach” rather than lecturer or tutor. Prior to academia, she spent 20 years running her own consultancy practice, with an emphasis on organisational change and mobilization and organisational effectiveness. Her consultancy assignments combine a practical, hands-on approach to making things happen with academic rigour and a strong commitment to building and delivering sustainable business improvements, achieved through collaboration and individual, team and organisational learning and development. Working from a complexity perspective, Carol's current research interests include leadership learning and the leadership of innovation in the UK health sector; learning entrepreneurial mindsets; and coaching for transition.
