Background

About Derek Last

I work with global brands and organizations to develop and activate business, talent, and organizational strategies that engage people, build reputation, and deliver on business priorities. Over my career, I've supported and led transformation initiatives, developed and implemented new organizational capabilities, organized robust change management and people strategy programs, built brands and crafted communications campaigns and strategies for some of the world’s leading businesses. My expertise in talent engagement, innovation, corporate and brand strategy helps leaders build distinct strategies, brands and experiences that make their organizations more innovative and desirable. Things that I'm interested in: • Strategy development and articulation • Capability design • Change making and employee engagement • Program design and activation • Brand building and implementation • Qualitative research planning, analysis, and synthesis • Workshop creation and facilitation • Organizational innovation (embedding it as a practice within a business)
