  • Global risks and opportunities – how to separate signals from noise
Our repeated experience with Roger is that he brings an extremely well-informed, outside in perspective to issues that we get too narrow minded on. This, matched with his diversity of thinking, means we co-create work that is of tangible value and immediately actionable. The way Roger works means he also develops us personally so we are more confident and capable of the big thinking required to deal with a VUCA world. Mike Bennetts, CEO, Z Energy
Roger recently completed a piece of strategy work for the Fonterra Ventures team. We were impressed with the level of thinking, the balanced opinions provided and the ability to provide clarity on an ambiguous topic. His considered approach and efficient turn around under time pressure is something we strongly valued and due to this high level of service we hope to continue working alongside Roger and his team. Emma Dunstone-Brown, (former) Strategic Ventures Manager, Silicon Valley
As the Chief Executive of a large complex organisation needing radical transformation, it’s challenging to know which initiatives will move the dial most effectively. Roger’s insight and guidance has been invaluable in shaping innovative programmes that have made a massive difference to the culture of the Canterbury health system. His work helped to set the foundation for many of our success stories.” David Meates, (former) CEO, Canterbury District Health Board
