Biography

Stephen Carver - Lecturer Cranfield UniversityStephen Carver, a seasoned raconteur and much sought after speaker whose unique story-telling style makes him a firm favourite with audiences, will demonstrate how and help us develop our own skills.

Stephen is repeatedly rated as one of the top lecturers at Cranfield School of Management where he lectures in project and programme management. He has hands on experience in almost all business sectors from banks to oil and from construction to law firms. Stephen has a reputation of taking complex management concepts and being able to distil them down into highly informative and fun lectures. He often uses fast paced and highly entertaining ‘storytelling’ techniques as a way of conveying information and ensuring it is retained for the future.

Unusually, for an academic, he has actually spent most of his working life in real business and still undertakes management assignments for many global organisations.

His attitude is ‘if you haven’t done it – you shouldn’t be teaching it!
