Profile
Ashok has been working as a Process Consultant for the last 35 years and has worked with top management teams of over 60 organizations covering all Industry sectors- FMCG, Consumer Durables, Industrial Products, Banking, and Financial Services, Software and IT Enabled Services, Management Consulting, Advertising, Hospitality Industry, Development Sector, etc.
These organizations include multinationals, the public sector, Indian business houses, family-run organizations, partnership/proprietorship companies, etc.
The engagements have either been part of a long-term assignment, or a one-off intervention. While each of these had its own unique context and focus, the essential attempt was to create a setting wherein the top management team could come together to take stock of their existing situation and develop a blueprint for future direction. The role of the Consultant has essentially been that of a Process Consultant who facilitates dialogue through either providing a frame or intervening in the process to ensure effective communication/dialogue leading to a better understanding and new insights into their individual and collective process. In several cases, it also entailed providing coaching/mentoring support to individual leaders in one on one setting.
Prior to working as a consultant, Ashok worked as a Management Researcher/Teacher/ Consultant at the Administrative Staff College of India, Hyderabad for 7 years and thereafter as a practitioner for 10 years with a Public sector group and a multinational organization.
