David South

David South Consulting/David South International (DSC/DSI) draws on real-world experience in strategy for large public organisations. By combining strategy and design methodologies, DSC/DSI has tackled complex problems and shaped and transformed large institutions undergoing crisis and change.

At ease with the digital environment of the 21st century, DSC/DSI has been able to grasp and transform difficult mandates into achievable goals and actions and to chart a path and strategy that gets results and brings out the best in those involved. In particular, it has a strong track record in guiding institutions and organisations during a period of either great transformation brought on by technological changes, or by a crisis.

As a digital pioneer since the late 1990s, DSC/DSI has been acknowledged as a key influence in the United Nations’ embracing of online communications at that time and, most recently, in undertaking an innovation-led agenda while placing so-called South-South cooperation at the centre of its development methodology. In the UK, it led on the implementation of the NHS Modernisation Plan with an award-winning child health web portal cited as a “role model” for the wider UK public and voluntary sectors.
