    Vision Statement

    I am interested in the trade-off decision-making in leadership teams as they create and then strive to execute a business strategy, helping to minimise the inevitable impediments facing organisations as they roll-out their strategies. I am also focused on target market strategy and how organisations engage with consumers, business customers and other stakeholders in a multi-channel context, and increasingly the fairness or otherwise of such activities. Assisting organisations to avoid mistakes and to build strong reputations is highly rewarding.
