Speaker

Lee started his career as a sports coach, developing a specialism in peak performance coaching. Before reading Law at Christ’s College, Cambridge, Lee spent three years as a Metropolitan police officer.

Whilst at Christ’s, Lee founded two developmental charities looking at education and personal development.

In 1987 Lee co-founded a consultancy which specialises in helping organisations re-invent themselves. Lee works at the interface of strategic innovation, leadership development and ‘change management’. Bridge works in two main contexts, firstly, supporting some of the world’s top companies to change, including Tesco, Marks & Spencer, McKinsey & Co, BP and PepsiCo and secondly, in encouraging system-wide transformation in education in the UK and Australia.

Lee recently published his first book, “Why Work is Weird”, which explores the way in which organisational cultures impact on their effectiveness.

Since April 2008 Lee has worked directly with the CIPD, as Strategic Adviser, and has led the ‘Next Generation HR’ work.

Since 16 October 2009 Bridge has become part of the CIPD.
