I help you protect today to protect tomorrow for a profitable future Resilience, Innovation, Optimisation and Transformation (RIOT) | Operational Excellence I'm a fixer. A troubleshooter. I bring answers and solutions Author of the book "Ensuring Business Resilience: A beginner's guide" otherwise known as "How to keep your fan working even when the stuff hits it !!" I am the Resilience Rainmaker. I help you "Prepare Today to Protect Tomorrow" I'm the person people come to when things go wrong or when they can't find the answer for themselves I support senior leadership teams to achieve your strategic goals and stay ahead of the curve in today's fast-paced business environment through holistic operations and innovations management With a diverse background across mining, construction, health, NFP, city council, and NGO sectors (and a stint in the Royal Air Force), I have developed a unique understanding of the challenges and opportunities, the always-tight deadlines and budgets; risk, issues and opportunities; and the need for resilience, agility, flexibility and all-round preparation necessary to effectively and efficiently bridge the gap between strategy and operations to keep your business running when (not if) the stuff hits the fan I always had an adventurous spirit (was part of the RAF Mobile Bomb Scoring Team, cuddled a beautiful tiger, voluntarily jumped out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft and abseiled down a 36-storey building), but it wasn’t until I discovered the world of business continuity and transformation management that I realised I also thrive in complex, fast-paced and ever-evolving environments Transformation projects are no longer a "nice-to have" but are a "must have" in this constantly changing and ever more complex economic climate. Innovation, Optimisation and Disruption are everywhere but, done wrong (as they often are) can be devastating I believe in the power of a holistic approach to aligning people, projects, processes, profits, places, and partners with the bigger picture goal. I am known for my ability to see five steps ahead, which allows me to anticipate challenges and develop workable strategies, mitigations and contingencies to ensure smooth and successful delivery capabilities Whether you need support with optimising existing operations, developing a holistic roadmap to navigate through complex (current and future) challenges, or identifying and pursuing new growth opportunities, please don't hesitate to reach out Protect your fan !!
