Background

About Mark Kenny

Ever been tasked with leading change without knowing what the ground beneath you REALLY looks like?When transformation is expected but the strategy map is fuzzy?When stakes are high, you're surrounded by noise, politics, legacy tech, and people who say they’re on board but aren’t?When the ‘why’, ‘what’ ‘who’ and ‘how’ are ethereal at best, but you still have to deliver?That’s where ELLRIN CONSULTING comes in.I provide strategic assurance to senior leaders across health, tech, and public service, especially when change is sensitive, poorly defined, and inherently complex. • When you're navigating people, product, and culture all at once• Where a calm, measured and multi-perspective taking approach is required to elicit insight, nuance and direction• Where decisions about clinical risk, patient safety, usability and user experience are not just heard, but acted upon• Where experiences and outcomes truly matter and where the confidence to act is criticalBuilt on 30 years at the intersection of clinical healthcare, digital innovation, education, and public sector transformation, I work across systems and silos to:• Guide ethical, scalable adoption of digital health and tech solutions• Translate vision into sustained, usable impact• Improve service design, usability and experience• Support strategic decision-making under pressure• Assess organisational readiness and routes to market• Build leadership capability and delivery momentumMy approach? TWO-SPEED. Optimising for today while designing for tomorrow. That might mean decommissioning neurodevelopmental services in politically and emotionally sensitive contexts or leading the adoption and sustainability of remote-monitoring tools across homes or complex hospital environments.With a passion for nurturing growth, I draw from a career leading 100+ person teams, mobilising mutli-million-pound programmes, coaching emerging and seasoned leaders alike, and shaping national policy (e.g. NHSE/ NICE), research investment (e.g. SBRI) and global product development (e.g. Microsoft Nuance). If you're leading a team, shaping services, building capability or simply trying to get unstuck - personally or professionally - let’s get together and make your goal a reality.
