About Mead Works


Mead Works is me, Richard, and one very specific belief: most organisations don’t fail because their strategy is wrong. They struggle because nobody’s translated it into something a team can actually pick up and run with.

I set up Mead Works to close that gap. I work with leaders who have a strategic direction — sometimes clear, sometimes still a bit fuzzy — and help them turn it into priorities that hold up, plans that deliver, and teams that are genuinely aligned behind the work.

I’ve spent 15 years in and around that exact problem: sitting between strategy and delivery, translating ambition into action, and helping teams understand not just what they’re doing, but why it matters to the bigger picture.

Mead Works is deliberately small. That’s the point. You get me — directly, from the first conversation onwards — supported by a select group of people only if your needs require it.

What that means for you: Straight talk, a plan grounded in your actual context, and someone who sticks around to see it land. I don’t just hand over a deck and disappear.
