delivering your mission
I work with clients to navigate, develop and innovate for your bigger purpose. For many organisations at the moment this can mean how you consider the structure of your organisation, how you build teams or create cultures of learning, how to support your leadership team but also how to approach net-zero, artificial intelligence, data, governance and complex problems responsibly.
I’m experienced at building teams, understanding and bridging technical, legal, business and user requirements and creating cultures of learning.
Since setting up in 2006 I have helped start or co-found a number of organisations including: the Open Data Institute, democracy platform Represent.me, data protection specialists Corrick, Wales & Partners LLP and Icebreaker One who are building a web of net-zero data.
services
strategy & innovation
Organisations usually hire me to solve complex problems, to be a supportive partner for leaders, or to develop and lead a team to get something new off the ground. I’m experienced at understanding and bridging technical, compliance, business and user requirements and have a practical understanding of public policy.
interim management, organisational structure & culture
I work with growing start-ups, non-profits and SMEs, often as interim management, working closely with the CEO and leadership team. I work to create and implement pragmatic structures that reflect your needs as you develop. I’m known for building effective, curious learning cultures in the teams I work with: embedding practices like retrospectives and show and tells, as well as offering coaching and individual support; creating a transparent, collaborative culture.
data governance
Data is critical to every organisation and industry. From how we meet net-zero to managing relationships with customers. I work with clients to help them consider the culture, processes and governance needed for managing their data.
chairing & facilitation
I’m an experienced chair, facilitator and presenter. I enjoy creating experiences that put people at ease and that bring people together to form new ideas, uncover existing experiences or to find consensus.

David Blundell | British Council
“Kathryn helped me enormously, to plan and develop a global social media strategy for the organisation. Her understanding of how to leverage the power of social media and integrate into wider digital communications has been instrumental in helping me to improve our offer and refresh the British Council.”
Gavin Starks | Icebreaker One
“Kathryn joined IB1 as part of its founding team. This was an easy decision as she had led the creation of the Open Data Institute’s learning, training, content and production teams when it launched in 2012. She helped us navigate, develop and deliver our strategy, helping shape our organisational structure and culture, as well as helping lead on our core data governance processes and detail”
Gwyn March | McCann
“We have been delighted with all the digital training and mentoring undertaken by Kathryn Corrick – for our staff and clients. She combines incredible knowledge of the online world with business savvy and a real comprehension of how people learn, retain and usefully use what is taught.”
Daniel da Costa | In-Debate Magazine
“Kathryn came on board as a non-exec director with In-Debate in at a stage when it was searching for investment and opportunities to expand online. Her previous digital and publication experience proved invaluable to us. Kathryn took a hands on approach and was always available to speak to and most important bounce ideas of.”
