NEIL CALVERT
For many, even thinking about change causes cold sweats. You may even choose to ignore the potential for change, deciding that it doesn’t apply to you, you will de-prioritise having to consider it or put it in the “too hard” basket – get to it another day. You’re wrong! The decisions you make today to prepare your business for tomorrow are fundamental to your future success. Leave it too late or get it wrong and there’s every likelihood that you won’t survive.
90% of leaders will continue to use gut feel to make decisions through to 2022. When dealing with today’s Digital Citizen and the demands they have in terms of instantly gratifying personalised services, your gut is probably going to get it wrong. Simply adding technology to your current business process is a recipe for disaster – you’ll get it more wrong, faster.
I can help you see the woods from the trees; it takes looking at the challenge with a fresh set of eyes; a set of eyes who can help you consider the possibilities for success and then take you on a journey to ensure you take your team with you and deliver value for your business based on a clear narrative of what the future looks like.
My approach focuses on all aspect of your business; your information assets - the life-blood of your organisation, the systems you use to create your business value, the way work is done and the people who make it all happen. By understanding how these 4 elements interact and how your information enables you to deliver business value I can help you prioritise the actions you should take to ensure your place in the Digital Economy is assured. I’ve done it many times before – look at my testimonials – and I can do it for you.
When you work with me, you will benefit from all of my experience which coupled with my ambition to see you succeed, my strong sense of ethic, my empathy for you and your team, and my challenging perspective, will lead you on a change journey with confidence.
Thanks for visiting my site. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line.

TESTIMONIALS
Don't take my word for it...
Neil is one of the brightest people I've had the pleasure to work with. Neil's specialized skill, engaging and energized personality, and the quality of his work is hard to match. LINQ is downright revolutionary for a space that hasn't seen innovation like this in a while. If you deal with systems mapping, have a challenge in front of you that requires a clear map of the battlefield, or simply live in flow charts, you must demo LINQ.
While Neil is pro, the platform speaks for itself and is truly an exciting addition to any organization working on a digital transformation.
I have the highest regards for Neil and look forward to LINQ's impact on the world.
