people profile: Kevin Howes

Kevin has more than 25 years delivering bottom-line results in blue-chip companies and SMEs.  Most of his experience and successes have been in the financial services, IT, telecommunications, automotive, and, pharma sectors.

His clients tell him they like his informal, practical, straight-talking approach and his knack of quickly pinpointing where performance can be improved. 

He’ll roll up his sleeves and get dirt under his fingernails and build enduring relationships at all levels based on mutual trust, personal credibility and a passion for achieving agreed results.

Kevin has developed particular skills in business process improvement, accelerating and making change stick and improving the performance of individuals, teams or the whole enterprise.

He employs a powerful mix of on-line behavioural profiling tools that enable him to quickly discover the things people do to accelerate or sustain business performance.  Likewise they quickly pinpoint the things people do that hinder individual success and block business performance. 

Companies Kevin has worked with

Kevin has achieved a solid track record of delivering improvements in companies like Accident Exchange, Barclays, Britax, DaimlerChrysler, EPSON, Ford, Hewlett-Packard, Legal & General, Lloyds Bank, Oracle, Sankyo, BT Cellnet (now 0₂), and Zurich Financial Services to name but a few. 

 In his spare time Kevin and his family built a 50 foot steel narrow boat, renovated a 16th century mud hut in Devon and attempts to play the bass guitar – luckily he has no direct neighbours.

Engaging staff and building their ownership of the changes from the outset is a cornerstone of Kevin’s approach.
