Case studies

Trusted by teams who build at scale.

I worked with Scott where he led several innovation workshops with Vodafone. Not only was the content really useful and interesting, but the way in which Scott delivered it was engaging. This meant that we were able to take in the tips and strategies more than a standard workshop. Scott was also really good at adapting to the needs of the group and changing direction when needed. This has meant that the content was more tailored to our needs. I was so impressed with Scott’s delivery, that I’ve asked him to present to broader teams on multiple occasions since then.

I have worked with Scott across two organisations – Australia Post and Coles. In both organisations he brought deep insight into the business we were running and technology capability. He helped conceive the core modernisation of Australia Post through Event Management Re-imagined (used for every scan, and to help determine both where a parcel was and should be). At Coles he brought Generative AI and Innovation to life before it was a thing. Not to mention, he is a great human being, and always easy to work with, and a constant source of inspiration.
