Client Testimonials
Lean Process Transformation and Software Solution
“The work allowed Eva to look at how processes can be more effective and efficient using lean thinking, the journey was relatively painless as Neil engaged the team very well and was able to make a dry subject a fun/dynamic learning environment. Neil didn’t follow a script and was able to pivot effectively in communication style and program content to match the audience he was talking to. Communication was excellent and we process steps were made clear.”
Business Transition
“Neil has been working closely with the KND team to create a workable and achievable plan to move us forward. They have ‘handheld’ when required and taken a back seat when it was evident that we were confident in driving the next level of the process. Their advice along the way has been invaluable and they have been available at all times to respond to our questions.“
Maintenance Delivery
Peter Skeels – Gippsland Water
“Gippsland Water engaged Go True North to assist in our analysis and understanding of our current maintenance delivery service. The analytical model utilised and data driven decision making has assisted Gippsland Water in further driving significant value out of its outsourced maintenance service and has had the added benefit of providing a line of site to further opportunities to both drive further value and improve our customer outcomes.“

The Back Story
As a Management and improvement systems coach, I help organisations, business owners and individuals improve their business performance. With an ability to see the big picture, I can identify strategic issues, as well as translate process problems to enable technology to deliver solutions.
Before co-founding In2 Project Management & Go True North in 2013, my career progressed from the shop floor to the board room with extensive experience working for global organisations in the United Kingdom and Australia. Starting out as a craft apprentice at the Central Electricity Generating Board, I continued to expand my engineering knowledge in a variety of increasingly senior roles in the United Kingdom.
The Entrepreneur
My journey with Go True North began in 2007 in Australia, where I was privileged to work with Chris Allford to develop a project framework for a leading mining and power producer. Over the years, our combined expertise led us to spearhead successful business start-ups, transformation initiatives, and change management projects.
Visionary Without Borders
In 2023, I returned to the UK, bringing this wealth of experience to establish Go True North UK in February 2024.
