Having hired external consultants, his first project was to clearly understand his own staff as only then could he build a team around them. He then spent 5 years studying psychology and psychometrics to be able to produce the results himself for both Hudson Hill and Psycuity.Ian lives and works in Manchester, is an avid support of Sale Rugby club, enjoys swimming, scuba diving and Xbox gaming.Specialties: Systems, procedures, operations, IT, selecting high performing staff, management, psychometrics, investment due diligence, crisis management, change agent, career transition work, building great teams, negotiations training, interview training, IT consolidation & migration, outsourced IT Support, IT training and bespoke system development.
