About Us
Jill Foley
Jill is Co-Founder and Chair of The OD Collective. She has worked in organisation design for more than thirty years, created the Circle Line, the eight-step method behind The OD School, and teaches organisation design at the London School of Economics.
-
Her work is about helping businesses perform better by addressing inefficiency and dysfunction, and improving the health of the organisation. She spent eight years at PwC, latterly as Director of the HR Consulting practice, then three years as Head of OD and Organisation Effectiveness at Nortel through a hyper-growth, acquisitive phase and a great deal of complex integration work, which she says taught her more than anywhere else.
She has run her own firms for the twenty-five years since, co-founding the boutique consultancy 7days and then founding On3 Partners in 2010, which she now chairs. Through On3 she has led large-scale operating model redesign and cost transformation for global organisations across aviation, telecoms, consumer goods and shipping, Whitbread, Cathay Pacific and Swire Shipping among them, much of it either side of a deal and most of it with boards and executive teams.
Future Back, the methodology she built there, is the root of the Circle Line. Alongside her teaching at the LSE, she mentors the next generation of OD practitioners.
Carla Henry
Carla is Co-Founder and MD of The OD School and an organisational psychologist. She has spent twenty-eight years inside or consulting to organisations, the last fifteen of them from Singapore, working across Asia Pacific.
-
Carla trained in psychology and has had the gift of putting it all into practice ever since. She calls the first half of her career her hardcore management consulting era: Unisys, BT Global Services and then PwC’s Change and Programme Effectiveness practice, working on why large transformations and implementations failed to deliver the value expected of them, and the people factors that decided whether they did. This was long before anyone called it change management or people strategy.
She then moved in-house, designing and implementing target operating models at Vodafone and SAB Miller. After moving to Singapore she spent ten years at BRIDGE, the award-winning culture and transformation consultancy, latterly as its APAC Managing Director. She now runs The Purpose Collective, working across Asia Pacific on leadership transformation, culture change and organisation redesign.
She is a member of the British Psychological Society and a founding member of its Division of Coaching Psychology. She co-founded The OD Collective and The OD School with Jill, to equip more leaders with the art, science and confidence to lead organisation design.
