Kiran joined The King’s Fund in April 2019 having worked in the UK health sector for nearly 15 years, in roles spanning commissioning, acute service management, national oversight focusing on leadership and governance in provider organisations, and strategy consulting. He enjoys working with groups at all levels on their development and is an experienced facilitator, team coach and action learning facilitator.
Kiran is most interested in working with groups who want to explore their relational dynamics, particularly as these relate to complex stakeholder environments, strategic planning, and social activism. He specialises in working with medical leaders, primary care leadership teams and clinicians more generally.
Kiran holds a doctorate in organisation studies, and he is a visiting lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire, where his supervisees research their practice as senior leaders using ideas from the complexity sciences, social anthropology, process sociology and psychoanalysis. His own research interests include organisational responses to workplace anxiety; power relations in groups and society; and reflexive inquiry as an approach to organisational research. He has recently co-edited two books on complexity and leadership (Routledge, 2022) and researching practice (Routledge, 2024).
