Stuart Glendinning Hall’s Summary

My aim is to focus on the human side of technology, to create communities which put people before software, extracting value from online conversations.

This expertise is grounded in a wealth of experience across public and private sector online roles, where I've had the chance to learn and develop my expertise in environments ranging from an entrepreneurial AIM-backed global e-commerce start-up, to managing a series of award-winning national knowledge portals in the NHS, one of the world's largest federated organisations.

Enabling me to aggressively leverage my own creativity to the full is a highly intuitive sense coupled to the ability to deliver under pressure. This gives me the ability to respond to problems positively, finding solutions in the toughest conditions, so providing excellent results for clients.

At a consultant level this rare polymathic combination of practical skills and emotional and cultural intelligence means I am able to see emerging trends and actively anticipate and pursue the collaborative opportunities for example. This is supported by an interest in the application of science tools to business problems to achieve results, from measurement heuristics for community management to use of bottom-up complex adaptive systems in cultural change and Enterprise 2.0 for example.

Online community strategy and implemementation.

Cultural change: eg using online tools in the NHS, through to change strategies using social networking.
