Welcome to the Critical Difference website

Critical Difference was established by Donal Carroll in 1998.

We work to enable individuals, teams and organizations to overcome barriers to improvement, and ‘start anew’.

We have considerable consultancy experience in the private, public and voluntary sectors, in Further and Higher Education, and a highly experienced team of Associates.

We have worked with clients such as NEC, the NHS, Lufthansa, Lucas, Lambeth College, Ranger Oil, Richmond Borough and many others to refine and strengthen our approach, to meet their needs, and yours.

We enable individuals and organisations to enlarge their repertoire when:
• the barriers they face seem insurmountable
• their current thinking is not enough
• performance lags
• they face stubborn, messy barriers to improvement
• previous changes have not worked
• the whole is less than the sum of its parts
• they ‘lose learning’ rather than make it pay

For issues like these, we use various stages to ‘start anew’: from ‘idea start-ups’, ideas into impact, developing a more creative climate, tackling deep-seated problems in new ways, to Managing Innovation systems and whole-organisational change. -And, above all, to find value in learning. We also offer Management Babylon events

Have a refreshing drink – of new ideas
We hope this site gives you some new ideas and a flavour of how we can work for you by:

Bringing new ideas to old problems for better outcomes
By engaging learning in people, organisations and in unpromising circumstances
