June 2010 – August 2010 Middlesex University Business School (MUBS), London, England.
Expert is about to complete this short term consulting experience at the Middlesex University Business School, London, England where he was one of the two (2) subject experts and external assessors for the validation of MUBS’s DProf and DBA Programs [DProf – Doctor of Professional Practice; DBA – Doctor of Business Administration]. Expert’s invitation and roles at this and similar consulting experience celebrate his recognition by other experts in Expert’s area of expertise. His recognition is not a surprise as his Doctorate in Professional Studies (DProf) represents a pinnacle of excellence for quality assurance in professional practice. He was among the first candidates enrolling on the Middlesex University’s ground-breaking DProf in 1998. One of the main attractions of this programme was its focus on high-level thinking and actions designed to make a significant contribution to ongoing professional practice with emphasis on creating professional development and change. In Expert’s case he developed the CLINLAP/LEADLAP Model, a model that encourages smarter choices for getting work done efficiently and effectively [See Expert and Jasper (Eds) 2005, Section 2]
From 2009 to 2010, at Huntercombe Hospital, a Private Psychiatric Hospital in Putney, London, part of the Four Seasons Healthcare, UK, Expert initiated and led a 3-person team from L4T for this project. He designed, developed and implemented short and long term strategic leadership, management, business and personal development programs for the Private Psychiatric Hospital in South London, England. This project resulted in significant business, professional and personal development for senior clinicians including: Medical Director; Consultant Psychiatrists; Consultant Psychologists; Senior Nurse Clinicians, Lead Occupational Therapists, and Senior Social Worker.Between 2003 – 2007, commissioned by the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Expert initiated, designed and implemented, with the local team, all over Nigeria, a challenging project of short and long term strategic leadership, management, business and personal development programs, within a faith-based organisation – never been done before. The Model developed by Expert in 1997 (See the Consulting Experience, below) the CLINLAP – Clinical Leadership Learning and Action Process was used to execute this innovative project. Over 300 managers, leaders, executives, all Catholics, from all over Nigeria took part in this project. 50 registered with the Chartered Management Institute in the UK for its degree-level management and leadership development programme. Two of these candidates won prestigious awards presented in July 2007 at the City University’s Cass Business School in London.

The significant amount of funding necessary to pay for the UK CMI’s registration fees for the candidates (students) on the programme was awarded by MISEREOR.
MISEREOR’s Mandate and Principles “was founded in 1958 as an agency "against hunger and disease in the world". In its capacity as the overseas development agency of the Catholic Church in Germany, it offers to cooperate in a spirit of partnership with all people of goodwill to promote development, fight worldwide poverty, liberate people from injustice, exercise solidarity with the poor and the persecuted, and help create "One World" (http://www.misereor.org )
