Meet our founder
As a Business Consultant and Lean Practitioner, 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.
I went to Australia on a 3 month contract in September 2006 and moved there in 2007 after being appointed to the role of Maintenance Manager at Hazelwood Power Station in 2007, and then the Business Optimisation Manager in 2010 and the Shared Services Director in 2012.
The Go True North journey began in 2007 when I started working with Chris Allford in the development of a project framework for a large mining and power producer. Over several years our unique skill set steered us to lead outstanding business transformation and change management projects.
This journey moved us into new and exciting methods of engagement, leadership, agile practises, lean thinking, value management, visual management and formed new thinking around project management.
It was this journey that formed the concept of combining traditional project management techniques with lean thinking and visual management that ultimately spearheaded the formation of Go True North.
I moved back to the UK in 2023 and established Go True North (UK) in February 2024.
As the key first point of contact for our consultancy, I now oversee client engagements and support our Australian team to ensure we deliver the outcomes that we have developed through our unique, personalised, methodical and proven methodologies.
A deeply committed professional, I’m valued for my strong leadership skills which I combine with a practical and well-organised approach to business management, client relationships and team management.
My focus on our diverse client base, particularly in the areas of business problem identification and solution management, enables me to understand and effectively communicate the requirements of operating and maintaining a business at all levels.
I invite you to connect and explore how we can help you improve your organisation’s performance.

“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.
Supply Chain Manager - Eva
“A friendly and professional service offering our business with training and support in software designed to improve our recording and reporting of project information. Neil offers a can do approach and works towards a solution to our problems with great knowledge of the software. I appreciate the time he takes to explain how he reaches the solution. I trust the advice provided by Neil. He has great knowledge and experience and believe he would work well with any client/company due to his ability to build and maintain relationships.

“In2 Project Management (Now Go True North) 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. We couldn’t recommend them more highly. In a very short period of time, with their support, we have developed the confidence and skills to move the business forward into new and exciting projects.
Owner - KNS Services
“"Neil has helped us achieve our business goals, clarity of systems requirements - and has been phenomenal with stakeholder engagement. Why wouldn't we recommend!"
