Shirlaws

Back on 29th July, I had the good fortune of attending an event provided by the IIB entitled “Building the Resilient Company”. I posted some comments about this at the time here.
During this event, I heard a presentation by Evan Fortune (one of the founders of Vision 6) and was impressed with his story.
In his presentation, Evan mentioned a couple of consultants/coaches they had utilised to work through some of the muddle in which they had found themselves as a result of the growth they had experienced over several years. One of these was Shirlaws.
I met with Evan on a couple of occasions following from this, and (based on what Evan told us of their successes with his firm) opted to give Shirlaws a try – calling them in as one of several external resources during the Autopsy 2 process.
Stay tuned to this blog for more details about how much value we gain from Shirlaws!
