The practice is new. The work is not.
I write about principles, systems and judgement, for leaders navigating their own work and the teams they lead. I run Oxime Partners, an advisory practice that builds the operating models, ways of working and leadership systems that hold after I leave. Marketing is usually the way in.
Twenty-five years of conditions, recorded
The LEGO Group: from near-bankruptcy through the turnaround and the growth that followed.
Seven leadership roles across six functions, most built before they could be run.
In the UN system before that: watching well-intentioned programmes vanish when funding cycles ended.
Product design at Central Saint Martins; the TRIUM Executive MBA (HEC Paris, NYU Stern, LSE). I teach transformation at HEC Paris.
In my words
I joined the LEGO Group in 2001 as it was heading toward bankruptcy and stayed twenty-five years, across seven leadership roles and six functions I mostly had to build before I could run them. I was on the hook for the outcome each time: I carried the budgets, beat the targets, and handed over systems that still run today. Most advice about reinvention comes from people who watched it. Mine does not.
The name is a chemistry reference. An oxime is an antidote that does not act on the body directly: it restores an enzyme the body already has, so the body can do the work itself.
