Career Intentions
I am currently available for consultancy in the field of sustainability. This brief summary and my detailed CV (in two parts: Professional Profile and Career History) provide an introduction to my skills.
The purpose of the table below is to indicate early development of personal capability for handling comprehensive and strategic issues at or near board level.
The red boxes show normal development of graduate capability over time. The green boxes with text descriptions show my own development according to Jaquesian theory (refer to Sheila Rossan's interpretation, see Management Levels & Capability Model).
On this basis there is evidence that by 25 I was already
functioning at a level that was appropriate for work with the boards of
national organisations.

I also have the ability to successfully undertake many tasks for which I have had no formal training or prior experience. For example my colleague Ross King described me as "the most outstanding Systems Analyst I have had the opportunity and pleasure of working with through a career spanning ITT, Lucas and Bosch at senior management level with significant responsibility for systems design". What Ross did not know when he wrote this was that the only preparation I'd had for the work he was referring to, was to read a teach your self book on systems analysis the night before conducting the first interviews.
