Bill Critchley was Chris Nichols teacher on the Ashridge MSc in Organisational Consulting and Change, and for many years a colleague in Ashridge Consulting.
In this episode Chris invites Bill to share some of his life story - including the influences that shaped his work and the challenges and triumphs of bringing a gestalt perspective into the work of a business school.
It’s a wonderful and rich conversation delving into a pivotal period in the development of a truly radical consulting practice that ran itself according to the principles it taught and espoused. It’s both a piece of oral history of the field, and a totally contemporary take on what matters in organisations today.
