Webinar: A best practice approach to Telco ecosystem digital transformation

Nathan is the Founder of The GC Index®, a digital diagnostic, that has been recently recognised by Gartner Inc. as a Cool Vendor for Communications Service Provider Business Operations. With over 20 years of working with business leaders to get the best from their talent, Nathan has always thought there was something missing. Subsequently, through years of conversations with business leaders he realised he was not alone. This notion that ‘something was missing’ is the key stimulus for the original The GC Index research.

Nathan has worked in partnership with TM Forum for over 5 years and has a fundamental belief that everyone can make an impact in their world. He has created a global community of GC Partners and GCologists that is committed to fostering the impact and contribution from everyone around the globe, whether they are a global Fortune CEO or a child in a developing country. He is constantly pushing The GC Index team, GC Partners and Clients to enable frictionless and empowering interactions between HR and Business leaders so that everyone is valued to deliver positive business outcomes.

He is the co-author of two studies: The DNA Of A Game Changer and The DNA Of A Game-Changing Team and the recently published Coaching Me, Coaching You (a-ha).
