Who do you work for? What do you do?

I am owner and founder of Vision 4 Ltd. and operate primarily in a consultancy role advising organisations on business strategy. I prefer to work on a top down basis; focus on vision and develops the models and capability to suit; many organisations work from a bottom up basis, trying to solve/improve existing solutions; too focussed on the current problem. I offer my services into any business sector, working with a combination of large, medium and small sized organisations. My principle background is in building, retail and the service sector (facilities management). I prefer to work with organisations to develop solutions; active engagement and problem solving more than pure consultancy advice and training

What industry do you mainly work in (e.g. financial services, telco, utilities, public sector, academia, pharma...)?

Public and Private sector, building, facilities management. As such, covers many operating sectors

What is the size of the organization you work for?

Do you want to add anything? Feel free. Any topic.

My biggest challenge, and hence another of my favourite topics, is visualisation in business. Many organisations are limited by their ability to portray their message/offer; limited by the capability of their organisation in this context. How many sales presentations fail in this category ? As a small business I also find this a challenge and as I look to develop it becomes a win:win situation..... my hot topic of the moment !
