Chris Patty – Director CEEJAI Consulting Pty Ltd
Most of Chris’s life has revolved around change and flexibility which might explain why this is probably his 5th major career. Prior to starting CEEJAI Consulting in 1998, he was a senior consultant with Acumen Consulting Pty Ltd. He was previously the national development and training manager for Team Management Systems Australia. In a number of past lives he has developed and managed an independent theatre company as well as a small transport business. He was also a head of department in a large Brisbane metropolitan high school. He is a firm believer in lifelong learning which he practices daily with his partner and 4 children.
Chris is an organisational development consultant who has worked extensively across the public and private sector in Australia and Asia Pacific. He believes strongly in the premise of developing organisations with and through their people. Responsibility needs to develop and be practiced at the level at which decisions are made. He draws on an eclectic mix of consulting experiences in the work he does with organisations. A focus of his work is his preference for using action methods and spontaneity, which are participative and collaborative and usually challenging and engaging. A skilled facilitator, he has honed his abilities in a number of diverse industries including education, the arts, health, and transport. He enjoys the challenge or working across all levels of organisations from the strategic to operations.
