BBRT Extended Team
Robin Fraser
BBRT Co-founder
robinfraser@bbrt.org
Robin Fraser is a speaker, writer and consultant. He co-founded the Beyond Budgeting Roundtable in 1998 and served as a BBRT Director for 10 years. He co-led the initial research (with Jeremy Hope) that culminated in 2003 in the publication by the Harvard Business School Press of the book ‘Beyond Budgeting’ and the HBR article ‘Who needs budgets’. He then focused on implementation of the ‘Beyond Budgeting’ model, recognizing early that an incremental approach was doomed to failure and that success depended on using a transformational process to build a coherent radically decentralized model, followed by long term continuous improvement. He supported implementation of the new model in user organizations and led the development of the BBRT ‘case for change’ diagnostic, which has helped several thousand users over the past few years. Formerly a management consulting partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers in the UK (and earlier in Iran), he has many years of experience in business planning, performance improvement, cost reduction and change management, and has worked in most sectors and industries. In PwC, he led the development of Priority Base Budgeting (PBB), and headed the firm’s Activity Based Management (ABM) practice. He holds a degree in Engineering and is a Fellow of the Institute of Cost and Management Accountants, and worked initially in British Oxygen (BOC) and Rio Tinto (RTZ).
