Grow & Thrive

MARK HOOKEY
Experience shapes judgment. Judgment shapes outcomes.
For more than 35 years, I’ve worked with leaders and organisations navigating complex change — across industrial environments, banking, insurance, and large-scale consulting.
I’ve seen transformation succeed, stall, and quietly fail.
Not in theory — but in boardrooms, leadership teams, and organisations under real pressure.
This experience has shaped how I work today: practical, grounded, and focused on what actually makes change stick.

Transformation Velocity™: Turning intent into impact
Early in my career, I became fascinated not just by what organisations were trying to change, but by why so many well-intentioned transformations failed to deliver their promise.
The patterns were consistent:
-
Clear strategies undermined by unclear leadership behaviour
-
Structural change without cultural alignment
-
Leaders promoted for expertise, but unprepared for the human side of change
-
Transformation programs that created activity, not impact
Over time, I learned that transformation is never just a technical challenge.
It is always a leadership challenge.
That insight has guided my work ever since.
