Simplicity and Authenticity
I was just reading the latest of my friend Chen Tay’s truly sensible articles and I loved his line “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
That is not so very different from my regular statement that “If it is not simple it won’t work”
Chen went on to discuss his opinions on the emerging business/financial trend and I think this is worth sharing
He said that “there is a shift going on. Just look around, the world is changing. While the fundamentals will always remain relevant, it’s important to take the best parts of the old economy and learn the best strategies for the new emerging economy.
People are desperately seeking “authentic” people because there are so many sharks out there.
The global financial crisis wasn’t just a financial challenge, but it also revealed the lack of leadership around the world. What the world need is leaders with integrity… leaders who inspire vision, a dream or start a movement.”
One of my main reasons for writing my articles is so that you can get to know me, hopefully understand that I do have more experience and depth than most other consultants in the same space and that I do have the integrity that you are looking for.
I am originally a marine biologist with a deep environmental understanding, I have been involved in my own businesses for the last 20 years, I am a qualified Lead Auditor in both safety (AS/NZS 4801) and environmental management (ISO 14001) and been running quality systems (ISO 9001) since 1990.
I have been helping organisations from single family businesses to companies of over 1,000 people build simple and effective management systems since 1998 and have developed simple tools to make this easier for you.
I believe in helping my clients to build sustainable business systems and to manage them on their own so that they are not lumbered with lots of paper, gobbledygoop nor a consultant that won’t go away. Of course I am happy to help if you want changes down the track but I work hard to do myself out of a job and make you independent.
If it is not simple it won’t work so I really cut red tape make things as easy as possible for you both to implement and to maintain.
