Nikki Barker

Nikki brings a passion to our complex problem solving, teamship and leadership work with engineers. She joined Perspectiv in 2008 and has served clients in engineering, utilities, the rail industry, care services, tourism, shipping, luxury goods and information technology across the world with a focus on enabling others to act.

Nikki’s client experience includes designing and implementing an award winning three-year turnaround program for a UK tourism business using Perspectiv’s 4Ps and Facilitative Leadership approaches. With a major asset management company, Nikki designed and facilitated the production of a roadmap for review and implementation of identified process safety indicators and in a related project designed and delivered the UK-wide training of a company safety critical procedure.

She takes a systemic approach to enabling others to act and is constantly researching what it takes to enable engineers to improve performance, including leading the study of the characteristics of admired engineers with the support of the major UK engineering institutions. Nikki writes and talks in engineering circles such as the Essential Management Skills for Engineers Conference and Improving the Quality of Engineers’ Wicked Problem Solving Capabilities for the International Conference on Engineering and Product Design.

‘We achieved more during the 1.5 hour meeting that Nikki facilitated than we did in the previous three meetings put together.’
