About Anthony
Anthony Lawton is a visionary leader in public sector transformation and the CEO of Fit to Care. With 18 years of experience in healthcare and public sector strategy development, Anthony is on a mission to revolutionise how organisations approach strategic planning.
As a Chartered Management Accountant (CIMA), Anthony brings a unique blend of financial acumen, Lean methodology, and AI expertise to solve the "Frankenstein Document" problem that plagues public sector strategy development.
Through his work, Anthony has transformed strategy development from 6-12 month ordeals into single-day collaborative breakthroughs, helping NHS trusts, Integrated Care Systems, and local authorities achieve meaningful transformation.
The Problem I'm Solving
Public sector organisations routinely spend 6-12 months creating strategy documents through fragmented processes that produce "Frankenstein Documents"—stitched-together plans that satisfy no one and drive minimal change.
This isn't a people problem. It's a process problem rooted in what I call the "Overheating Spiral"—command-and-control cultures that prevent genuine collaboration and co-creation.
The result? Wasted time, frustrated professionals, and strategies that sit on shelves gathering dust instead of driving real transformation.
My Approach
I combine three powerful methodologies:
- Lean Methodology: Eliminating waste and reducing rework time
- Behavioural Science: Understanding the Overheating Spiral and creating psychological safety
- AI-Powered Collaboration: Tools like Dynamic Genie that compress timelines while improving quality
This unique combination has enabled me to transform strategy development from 6-12 month ordeals into single-day collaborative breakthroughs.
