At 4xi Global Consulting, we believe the most valuable insights often come from people who have spent their careers working on both sides of organizational change - helping shape strategy whilst also dealing with the realities of implementation.
We are pleased to welcome Howard Murray to the team as Senior Consultant, Global Workplace Operations.
Howard joins 4xi following more than 25 years working in strategy, operations, workplace, real estate and transformation leadership roles, most recently as Senior Director, Strategy & Operations within Electronic Arts' global Real Estate & Workplace Solutions organization.
Looking back across his career, Howard sees an interesting pattern.
The projects were different. The organizations were different. The objectives were different. Yet the same challenge appeared repeatedly.
Sometimes it was a workplace transformation program. Sometimes it was a major procurement exercise. Sometimes it was a new operating model, a capital investment decision or a service delivery challenge.
In almost every case, the organization knew what it wanted to achieve.
The harder question was how to make it happen.
Over the years, Howard has built new organizational capabilities, established PMO functions, developed governance structures, led major outsourcing initiatives and helped leadership teams navigate complex change across global organizations.
What interests him most is the space between the decision and the outcome.
"The biggest challenges are rarely technical," says Howard.
"Most organizations are full of capable people. The challenge is often helping different teams, leaders and partners work together in a way that turns intent into action."
That perspective is one of the reasons Howard was attracted to 4xi.
The firm's focus on human experience, strategic partnerships and practical transformation aligns closely with his belief that sustainable change depends on understanding both people and operations.
At 4xi, Howard will support clients navigating workplace operations, organizational transformation, strategic partnerships, operating model evolution and complex change initiatives.
Alongside his consulting work, Howard is currently completing formal coaching qualifications and exploring how leadership development, organizational performance and operational delivery can work together to create better outcomes for both organizations and the people within them.
Please join us in welcoming Howard to the 4xi team.
