In the end of module review three of the four syndicate groups picked out [your presentation] for special mention as one of the things that was particularly good about the module.

Ian's case study presentation of taking an innovation from idea to reality was very powerful. It is good to hear from practitioners with real coal face experience of the barriers entrepreneurs face getting their technology ideas to market.

As a new business start up, I realized that it was tremendously difficult to be a master of all the skills required to run your own business. Fortunately I meet Ian and after an initial consultation, it became clear that Ian’s skills would massively enhance my business.

When working together Ian’s eye for detail, enthusiasm and knowledge of business theory shone through. He added clear value using structure and process to help us build a strategy directly impacting our customer engagement. Clear, coherent messages set us apart in how they portray the products, services and company values of PepperIT. Ian is of massive benefit as a mentor and I envy every business person that is fortunate enough to work with him.
