I'm a business and project planning specialists

I see myself as an ‘ideas-engineer’, but I'm also problem-solver, strategist and business-planning specialist.

Some 15 years ago, I recognised the need for a simpler and more effective method to plan for results.

In my opinion business plans should be an active 'living' thing that makes you (or your team) more capable.

To cut a long story short, with some inspiration and assistance from the NASA organization, I developed a system called Accelerated Planning Technique (tm), or APT for short.

I teach people this simple planning method so they can think clearly and act effectively -- in a wide range of business and related applications.

I also coach and facilitate planning sessions.

This facilitation and coaching service is for individuals and organizations when results are required quickly or the issues are clouded or complex.

I have also developed a team planning version of APT. This process encourages whole group participation in the planning process. It can even make it fun.
