Put simply, Graham will help you get the right people in the right place doing the right things at the right time.

In recent times Graham has worked closely with both start-ups and established SMEs to help develop and implement practices that align people activities to the markets that client businesses operate in. His advice, counsel and support has enabled better alignment of leadership, team and individual activities to achieve higher levels of engagement between internal and business goals.
