Why Work with Nathan
For over 25 years, Nathan has been working at the intersection of people, process, and change—helping organizations navigate complexity, remove friction, and turn intention into action.
What sets Nathan apart is not a single methodology, framework, or technology. It’s his ability to step back, see the whole system, and ask the questions others are too busy—or too close—to ask.Clients work with Nathan because he:
-
Sees problems in context, not isolation
-
Translates complexity into clear, actionable thinking
-
Balances strategy with execution
-
Keeps people at the center of transformation
-
Focuses on sustainable progress, not quick wins
Nathan’s approach is thoughtful, pragmatic, and human-centered. He doesn’t arrive with a preset answer—he works alongside leaders and teams to uncover what’s really holding progress back and helps design paths forward that actually work in the real world.

Transformation doesn’t fail because people resist change. It fails because systems are poorly designed.
In Friction in Transformation, Nathan challenges the most common—and costly—misdiagnosis in organizational change: blaming people for problems created by design.
Drawing on real-world leadership experience across operations, continuous improvement, and digital transformation, this book introduces a disciplined way to see friction where it actually lives—inside ownership models, decision rights, information flow, and risk alignment.
Rather than offering tools, templates, or quick fixes, Friction in Transformation teaches leaders how to think differently about change. Readers learn how to identify friction, diagnose system gaps, design them out deliberately, and build sustainability without overcorrection.
This book is for leaders who are tired of pushing harder—and ready to design better.
