Roger’s business education is grounded in the Cranfield and London Business Schools. As a senior executive in the financial services industry, he gained in-depth experience of corporate transformation and cultural change, and their associated human dimensions in terms of opportunities and constraints. He has wide experience of strategic planning, major capital developments, creation of value chains including outsourcing, and operational management covering support and front line services. He is one of the founder members of the Future Work Forum at the Henley Management College and a member of the Business Ethics Forum at the RSA, of which he is a Fellow. A regular writer, his special interests are coaching and mentoring as a means of addressing the paradoxes and dilemmas that confront Boards, Directors and Senior Executives.

Those in the diverse team working with Phoenix have been selected on the basis of their qualifications, organisational experience in human relations issues, their ability to work with difference and across cultures, their knowledge of equality legislation, their personal qualities including an ability to challenge issues in a non-confrontational way. All have a long track record in management development training, diversity and equal opportunities work. They are all qualified in humanistic psychology, undertake supervision and are trained by Phoenix HR for each separate assignment.

We are proud to say that we are winners of the 2000 Cutting Edge Award from the Academy of HRD in the United States, for our leading edge work on culture, and values and behaviour change, published as a research paper in "Winning Hearts and Minds". Also, we continue to contribute during 2001 to the global debate on HRD with our presentations at the 10th Congress of Work and Occupational Psychology in Prague (May) and the Griffith University in Brisbane (April), and, more recently, the 3rd Conference on Ethics and HRM at Imperial College Management School in January.
