If you like what I have to say & what I do and where I have been, there are a variety of ways we could potentially work together.

Me for Free

Speaker

A couple of times a year I am happy to speak on topics that I am passionate about i.e. Technology, Innovation & Entrepreneurship. Past speeches to groups of 10 -> 2,000 include; a Framework for Business Model Innovation, The Essence of Practical Entrepreneurship, Networking for CIO’s, Marketing with Social Media, Open Source Masterclass, the Future of Crime & Dealing with Business Failure. I have spoken at AIMIA events, MEGA, Smartcompany and Victoria’s Energise Enterprise as well as at a variety of in house gigs. If you are interested in getting me involved, please email me with the topic, audience, date, time, location and any other relevant information.

Mentor

I normally mentor only 2 people per year, one of which normally comes from the Monash MBA stream and one technology entrepreneur. Mentoring means that I am happy to meet you 4 times a year, for one year and take a phone call a month. My advice has traditionally been around finding work life balance (for the MBA students) and on building successful technology start-ups. I don’t charge for this, but will only work with only two people a year. If you want to get me involved with your business, email me in November with why I should choose you, so we can get started in January.

Sponsored Business Development Services

Once or twice a year I will assist a not-for-profit group that works in the areas of technology, innovation or entrepreneurship. My services are effectively a free, light weight version of the Outsourced Business Development services highlighted below, generating new relationships to assist organisations such as AGSE Friends and Community Connected Hacker Space. If you are a not-for-profit group that is interested in getting me involved with your organisation for a year, email me in November so we can get started in January.

Me working with You

Outsourced Business Development Services

Through Flinders Pacific, I provide outsourced “Rainmaker” type services to organisations that need to generate new relationships with people at senior levels, build memberships or pipelines. My clients are normally professional services firms, scientific research groups or Foreign Governments. For instance I am the sole representative of the City of London in Australia for Foreign Direct Investment. If you want to build new trusted relationships with senior public servants, government ministers or C level executives – please contact me by phone at the Flinders Pacific office.

Consulting on Business Model Innovation

Through Flinders Pacific, I consult in the area of growing revenues and increasing the resilience of businesses by generating new strategies and implementing innovations within the revenue generating components of their business model, namely:

• Value Propositions
• Sales & Marketing Activities
• Customer Segmentation
• Revenue Model

If you are interested in increasing revenues, increasing profit, differentiating yourself and being able to forecast how much business you will do in three months time – please contact me by phone at the Flinders Pacific office.

Advisory Board

I currently have a number of paid roles sitting on advisory boards, providing advice around strategies for technology commercialisation. If you are interested in having me join the advisory board of your venture and helping you to turn ideas into cash in the bank, not some abstract metric, – please contact me by eMail at the Flinders Pacific office..
