Adam brings his experience to play in a refreshing approach to the practical applications of practice and theory to organisational structures, people and talent management. Recent work has seen the restructuring of a business in need of refreshment and the implementation of management principles which saw customer numbers triple, a six-fold increase in profit, sustainable growth achieved and most importantly, employee morale reach record levels. Notably, this occurred using existing talent within the business. Originally educated in Economics and Law, as well undergraduate teaching in Organisations, his career has been in both Australia and the UK, working initially in the fields of education, law and insurance. While holding a variety of operational, strategic and project-based management roles at Executive level, his ability to visualise the effect structures and systems will have on culture and individuals has been the hallmark of his work.
