I wouldn't want my photo on the Home page (or my bio. at left) to suggest that life is all work and no play. So, here's my favourite image of myself. In 2000, a group of us walked for three weeks through France and Italy, and one day a friend snapped me asleep after lunch under an olive tree.
Timothy Pascoe ...
Let's start at the end! The following are a dozen words I'd welcome on my tombstone: in small ways, he left the world better than he found it. This theme has driven a number of my career and other choices. Including a decade-long investment in developing my V|E|C|T|O|R Leadership-Action-Planning tool.
Planned leadership is a powerful lever for improving organisational and societal outcomes. And, putting the V|E|C|T|O|R program online allows it to spread geographically - with subscribers now in over 61 countries worldwide. It also makes the tool economic across all levels of an organisation - no longer restricted to the C-suite focus of my leadership consulting practice.
To further broaden its community availability, I've made the online Tool Kit free for students and not-for-profits - as you can see on the Home Page.
Let's now go back to the beginning! I was born and grew up in Adelaide, South Australia. I graduated with Bachelor degrees in Engineering and Economics from Adelaide University, a Doctorate of Philosophy in Operations Research from Cambridge and a Master of Business Administration from Harvard.
My career has included:
- working for McKinsey & Co. Inc. a global consultancy in New York, Melbourne and Sydney
- running a Sydney-based venture capital company in the early 1970s
- appointment as Federal Director of the Liberal Party of Australia based in Canberra in 1974/75
- establishing Arts Research, Training and Support (ARTS) Limited, a national non-profit organisation bringing commercial consultancy, management training and financial support to the arts in Australia
- a three-year appointment as Executive Chairman of the Australia Council, the Federal Government's arts-policy and funding agency
- since 1984, running my own business strategy (and more recently, leadership and board governance) consultancy with clients in Australia, Asia, Europe and America. My clients have covered a range of industries including financial services, resources, property, transport, agriculture, manufacturing, software development and professional services.
I created the V|E|C|T|O|R Leadership® framework over many years based on the above experiences and the exposure to leaders in local, national and global organisations ranging in size from two or three partners to thousands of employees.
In 2004, I was made a Member of the Order of Australia for service to the arts and community organisations.
