Dr. Terence Richard Keen
Dr. Keen is a Senior Associate Consultant at Human Facets. Terry initially worked as a Physicist at University level. He undertook research in “Electron Mobility in Semi-conducting Materials”. However, a long standing interest in Psychology led to a degree, and a few years later, a Doctorate in Psychology.
He has published widely in the academic world including two Psychology books and a suite of computer programmes (jointly with others) to analyse repertory grid cognitive appraisal systems.
Having served as Chief Executive of three different corporate bodies he started his own Management Consultancy Company where he used his specialism, namely “Improving Human Performance” to work with Corporate and other clients in Europe, the USA and South America as well as in the UK.
As a consultant in his own right he has regularly formed close associations with others, where the combination of skills from both partners has proved, not only enjoyable but extremely effective. He has led, or worked on several British Government missions to Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, the former USSR, Bulgaria and Israel. Whilst his client database includes work with Human Facets clients such as Texas Instruments, Raytheon, JP Morgan Chase and Baker Hughes Oilfields in the USA, he has also worked extensively the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe.
He is an excellent presenter, and this, linked to his reputation and research in Personal Construct Psychology, has kept him busy. He regularly presents at Conferences and continues his research with colleagues in Norway, the USA and Australia where his eldest son and daughter-in-law now live permanently.
Terry lives in the UK but travels extensively. To relax Terry played competitive tennis, and more recently has become a keen golfer. As an Ocean Yacht master and a Private Pilot he remains active on the sea and in the air.
