Dr David Platt

Synopsis David has over 20yrs experience helping organisations manage their business processes. Working with both public and private sectors, helping them change paradigm, reengineer, re-design and model their business; whatever it takes to become more efficient, effective and competitive in the market place. He brings a wealth of expertise in understanding how organisational cultures as well as the rational forces drive the change process. A competent business consultant, David is skilled in the development of business cases and investment models to support commercial and operational decision makers. He is experienced in helping clarify the investment logic as well building detailed financial, mathematical simulations and statistical models to deliver greater clarity into the decision making processes. Davids in-depth knowledge of IT systems and architectures means he frequently plays the role of a bridge between business leaders and IT providers. He seeks to ensure the aspirations of the organisation are achieved through the architectures of the information and knowledge management systems that support them. With a passion for the analysis of messy, complex situations, David is often called upon to assist in separating truth from the institutional myths; building core business intelligence from a systemic analysis of the situation. He is an accomplished communicator who has the ability to present complex ideas in an informative and simple way and has often been called upon to present at major conferences and assemblies. David is a business consultant who is passionate about building architectures and processes that will deliver lasting value; an architect who delivers for the future.
