<p>Philip is currently the Head of Portfolio Performance in the BBC&rsquo;s Product Group, the developers of BBC iPlayer, BBC Sounds and the vast portfolio of BBC websites, apps and digital services. He helps multidisciplinary technology leaders and teams develop and deliver their strategic mission, promoting a culture of collaboration, creativity, innovation, continuous learning and joy. He&rsquo;s often referred to as &quot;a great connector, listener and teacher, who brings clarity in ambiguous, complex situations and always ready to offer fresh, creative, transformational ideas, insight and solutions&rdquo;.</p> <p>Given Philip&rsquo;s broad portfolio of research, engineering, analysis and management experience, spanning large and small organisations, he has adapted and crafted various strategic architecture and systems frameworks to for situations where complex, at times contentious, decisions, prioritisation, messaging and change need to be delivered. He finds the most joy at work when people find value in adapting and applying frameworks for themselves to their relationships, processes, technologies, problems and ambitions.</p> <p>He tends to spend most of his time in the messy overlap of technology strategy, culture, structure and operations, ensuring that innovation, diversity, fairness and thoughtful, relational practice are not diminished or dismissed in favour of traditionalism (&lsquo;this is how we do it here&rsquo;), homogeneity (disguised as best practice), injustice (shrouded as business sense) and purely transactional behaviours (because pace matters above wellbeing). Philip honours legacy by ensuring it continues to be part of an evolving story. He endorses the need for speed while maintaining the need for deeper, slower deliberation, finding that sweet spot in respect, iteration, partnership and cultivating common ground.</p> <p>Philip wants to join and invite others in a mission to challenge conventional structures, practices and ideologies t
