Who I am

I would just like to introduce my self and why I have started this blog.

I have worked in business for about 30 years and worked for government for over 15 years, and I have a passion for small to medium businesses and their success. Over this time, I have seen great businesses struggle for success.

On leaving school, I completed a Associate Diploma in Agribusiness before spending 30 years on the land owning and managing livestock and cropping properties. When you are in the livestock game, and you keep having more dead stock due to drought, it is probably worth a career change, so we left the land and I went and completed an undergraduate and masters degree in economics.

Over these years, we also operated a range of businesses, including earthmoving contracting, contract business administration, bookkeeping services, financial counselling, light engineering and ag-services.

I have started this blog, because I want to assist business decision making better understand the role information and business analytics play in business management and the resulting success. I hope this blog helps

I have nearly 30 years experience in managing and operating small businesses. Sectors include Agri-business (large scale wool and beef production and broadacre grain), manufacturing (light engineering), business services (contract business management, financial counselling, business diagnostics, book-keeping and agri-business services). I also have three tertiary qualifications in the areas of agri-business and economics and I used the tools and techniques to analyse business operations to improve business efficiency with a focus on the Business Excellent Framework. I started this blog, because I have a passion for the SME business sector, and support can be of varying quality. This way, individuals can assess for themselves the material published and seek further options. I am looking forward to this opoprtunity.
