I think Small Medium Enterprises are the quiet achievers of our economy. They are human scale enterprises that tend to deliver both economic benefits while being places people want to work. We have an opportunity to develop the infrastructure to make them flourish and make them central to our economic futures. Imagine an economy centred on distributing small innovative businesses. A place where "small is beautiful" displaces "big is best". In Australia we have around 3 trillion dollars in our superannuation system. Imagine if we could build the infrastructure that allowed a third of this to get to long term patient capital SME's.

ShareholderSee Above Dec 1984 - May 2018We pursued an employee ownership model for many years. However, we based this on a capital model (property rights model). We could not find a solution that integrated a good solution for all stakeholders. Given this we sold acQuire on an 8 criteria model that was met by the purchaser. The key points being that they buy the ship and want it to sail on. Also, they do not divest companies and buy for long term patient investor purposes. In ADAPT we will continue to exp[lore employee ownership but our research and development will be in moving to the celebration of value creation not property rights. -
FounderAcquire Technology Solutions Nov 1996 - May 2014Perth, AustraliaWe founded acQuire in 1996. We kicked off acQuire based on our observations about how observations and measurements captured for resource definition were managed. Our observation -All safety and financial decisions are made on this data and it is not being looked after. We recruited 4 co-creating customers. One of these companies ended and the other 3 were still customers on our exit in 2018. The journey of building acQuire has given me a new purpose (see above).
