About me

Peter's research encompasses organization development, global health, rural development, leadership studies and organization theory & philosophy. For more than a decade, Peter has acted as a programme management consultant for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) funded Malaria Elimination Initiative (MEI) based at the University of California San Francisco, advising on projects in the Africa and the Greater Mekong Sub-region. He co-designed a methodology called, Leadership and Engagement for Improved Accountability and Delivery of Services framework, LEAD for short, which has been used extensively on BMGF projects. The approach uses participatory, team-based problem-solving and leadership development to strengthen programme management at all levels of the health system.

Peter recently co-led an organization development project for the MEI in Zimbabwe funded by BMGF (2020-25) and concerned with restructuring and improving HIV prevention services at national and subnational level. He is currently contributing LEAD expertise to a UK Medical Research Council and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office project run by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and entitled: Malaria: Optimising the mix of malaria interventions including malaria vaccines (OPTiMIX). To build capacity and enhance skills of local health professionals, OPTiMIX will include a course of training to support achievement of study objectives and ensure longer term impact. Local health professionals working on the OPTiMIX project will be offered places on the University of the West of England’s Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Practice in Change Leadership (PPCL). The PPCL module provides training in a range of organizational development, facilitation, leadership and quality assurance techniques based on the LEAD framework.

Peter has extensive experience of leading rural development projects in SE Asia, including several initiatives in Lao PDR funded by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (2011-2020). His research is geared toward 'making a difference' to the wellbeing of others and achieving impact beyond academia.

He also has consultancy experience within the UK NHS and a variety of private sector organizations.
