Martin Everett is a Senior Associate of Ranmore Consulting
and has expertise in strategic leadership, negotiation and the
application of social network analysis in both private and
public sector environments.
Martin has 18 years experience in senior positions in higher education; these include
a Pro Vice-Chancellor role at the University of Westminster and Vice-Chancellor at
the University of East London. In both these roles Martin led in developing and
implementing strategic change and in negotiating with the academic trade unions.
Martin gained a doctorate from Oxford University and has built on that work to
become an internationally-recognised leading researcher and consultant in social
network analysis, and an Academician of the Academy of Social Sciences. Business
and Government currently view this area of work as critically important and its
increasing prominence has meant that he has been in high demand as an adviser
and consultant.
Social network analysis (SNA) applies to a wide range of business problems,
including:
- Knowledge Management and Collaboration. SNA can help locate
expertise, seed new communities of practice, develop cross-functional
knowledge-sharing, and improve strategic decision-making across leadership
teams.
- Team-building. SNA can contribute to the creation of innovative teams and
facilitate post-merger integration, revealing for example, which individuals are
most likely to be exposed to new ideas.
- Human Resources. SNA can identify and monitor the effects of workforce
diversity and leadership development. For instance, an SNA can reveal
whether or not mentors are creating relationships between mentees and
other employees.
Martin has provided training, consultancy and advice to clients such as Unilever,
Qinetiq, Astaire (Italy), Towers-Perrin (USA), the Home Office, the Ministry of
Defence, DSTL and Demos.
