Ian Ralston

Ian's ability to think laterally and outside the square manifests itself in the business name.

Ian is an advocate for the promotion of Values Driven organisations. After being inspired by Richard Barrett's book "Unleash the Corporate Soul", Ian underwent training in the Corporate Transformation Tools (CTT) Methodology.

On a personal level Ian is a "Baby-boomer", growing up with technology. Ian started in the computer industry when they were "steam driven and he was a stoker". He is a graduate from University of South Africa (UNISA) School of Business Leadership's Advanced Executive program.

Through his work in Information Technology Ian has worked with many different industries including motor, health, insurance, local government, mining, defence and major IT organisations.
Ian's interest in and involvement with personal development has enhanced his ability to listen and hear what is being said. Ian's personal qualities include being approachable, flexible and empathetic and respectful of other's opinions and beliefs.

Ethics, balance between work and home, environmental awareness combined with enthusiasm and open, honest communication are values that Ian is passionate about. This is demonstrated in his professional and personal relationships.
