The person behind Outcome Vectors

I've spent over 20 years in software engineering, delivery and organisational change: as an engineer, a delivery leader, and a coach to executives and teams moving into new roles, ways of working and operating models. I have deep experience across Scrum, Kanban, SAFe and LeSS, specialising in OKRs and organisational design. I'm allergic to unnecessary process.

My work splits between growing companies that are starting to feel the drag of scale, and teams whose OKR rollouts didn't deliver. That second group is increasingly sponsored by the investors and boards who feel the consequences first.

Two decades across software delivery and organisational change, with organisations including the BBC, Rolls-Royce, Citibank, NatWest and Loqbox.

I speak on organisational scaling and feedback loops, most recently for the portfolio of a UK private equity fund.

I'm based in Ramsgate, on the Kent coast. On what I'm like to work with, a recent LinkedIn recommendation put it better than I could: "Robin is an excellent communicator who is steeped in a detailed understanding of the OKR process that can really help transform a business. He brings an easy going style to discussions, but always keeping the north star purpose of the session in mind. He is open minded and willing to change approach as the data changes but also reminds the team of the need to be honest with themselves. He is very quick to establish a rapport and build trust which lets the team open up in the sessions he facilitates."

The stance

What I believe

01

Fewer priorities beat better tracking.

If everything is important, the tooling doesn't matter.

02

Good systems remove process, not add it.

If a new framework creates more meetings than it kills, it has failed.

03

Measure outcomes, not activity.

Busy is not a result.

04

Cadence beats ceremony.

A blunt weekly check moves more than a polished quarterly review.

05

My job is to leave.

Every engagement builds your capability, not my dependency.

The network

A trusted network

Some engagements need more than one pair of hands. I work with a small network of senior independent consultants:
