Unusual among senior RO practitioners, Julian Fairfield, focuses on strategy design and implementation, using his unique set of experiences in creating and refining a set of expansions and innovations in the field.  

Major expansions and innovations:

• Using his study of human evolution to describe the shock of organizational contracts between strangers after millennia of depending on informal trusting relationships.
• Expanding RO-based practice to include the informal, softer, human processes along with the formal RO systems - described in his book, Levels of Excellence.
• Expanding interventions to include a broader set of components using the McKinsey 7-S framework itself subject to levels analysis - again, see Levels of Excellence.
• Using the holon concept to link Jaque's levels of complexity to known levels in complexity in consciousness and in the physical world from quark to universe.
• Application of levels to analyzing the evolution of individual organization functions and using that mapping to perform competitive analyses in a sector and in designing competitive strategy by up-lifting key functions.
• Expanding the domains of RO-based consulting by application of levels theory to analyses of the stages in national development - both in Eritrea and in East Timor

Unique set of experiences that shape his perspective:

• Six years in manufacturing in the USA in roles at I, II, III, and IV.
• Four years - Senior consultant with the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey, both world-class advisors to senior executives.
• Four years - responsible for implementing RO at CRA, first year working as a McKinsey consultant to Sir Roderick Carnegie, CEO of CRA, and three years as an employee of CRA. .
• Two years studying management practices in Japan.
• 30 years as Founder and Managing Director of Bach Consulting in Australia specializing in Organization and Strategy for large corporate and government clients
