About Edwin
I am an experienced business leader who has been involved in agile since 2002. I mainly work with leadership, executives and boards who are looking to apply thinking strategically to their businesses.
I have spent over 17 years at the coal face of helping organisations improve how they prioritise, collaborate and deliver customer value using feedback loops and empiricism. This, coupled with the accountability of running various businesses, enables me to be able to deeply understand what organisations need to modernise to thrive in the age of disruption.
I am a founder and partner in Radically – a management consultancy specialising in helping leaders modernise their organisations to achieve radically improved business outcomes.
I am a family man with four children: Jessica, Henry, George and William and live in on a 20-acre organic farm 1 hour north of Auckland, New Zealand.

Developing your company's purpose is one of the most critical steps in building a meaningful and successful business. Gone are the days when work was solely about trading time for money. Today, employees seek a deeper sense of purpose, often valuing it more than financial compensation. In this blog, we explore the significance of company purpose, why it matters, and how to develop your company's purpose to inspire your team and create a basis for sound future decision-making.
Does this scenario sound familiar? Your company has embraced agile and teams now enjoy greater focus and clearer collaboration. Yet the anticipated business benefits have not materialized. Delivery is slow, expensive and a source of frustration.
Although agile has markedly improved organisations, the full benefits are unattainable unless the entire work system is aligned with agile principles.
With over 20 years of experience in helping organisations achieve high performance and adaptability, I've gained valuable insights into agile system design. In this article, I will share some of these insights and discuss one of the most effective frameworks for optimizing organizations for peak performance: value streams.
Many organizations are striving to become more adaptive a means not just to survive, but to thrive. The success of an adaptive organization hinges significantly on the capabilities of its people, which often raises the question of how to select people for agile teams.
Many self-managing teams struggle to reach a truly high-performing state. When an organisation moves to a self-management model, a key service centralised management traditionally played – giving feedback – is often ignored, leaving teams struggling to truly grow. In this article, we share how to give effective feedback to improve both team and individual performance.
A culture of feedback is a critical element of an adaptive organisation. While people have talked about how to give effective feedback, little has been said on how to receive it, until now.
This article shares examples of the power of transparency and how it can be used to create breakthroughs in performance.
In late 2018, Vodafone New Zealand set out to improve its customer experience by adopting a ‘digital first’ mindset. Investing in agile would underpin this approach by introducing ways of working that reduce complexity, improve collaboration and bring the customer to the forefront of each decision.
In the business world, we continually face sudden disruption shocks in a similar way. Our senses tell us things are changing incredibly quickly, but like the COVID-19 situation, we fail to grasp the exponential nature of the change, leaving us ill-prepared to cope when it inevitably arrives.
Autonomy is a critically important concept in agile culture, however ignore its counterbalance -accountability - at your peril.
Throughout my career I have helped many leaders adapt their style to one that better supports teams reach a high-performing state. Across a wide range of different industries the patterns of high-performing teams, and how leaders help shape them, have some striking consistencies.
