His clients include many large financial institutions and government agencies as well as small and medium-sized companies from a variety of industries.

Stuart bridges the disciplines of product development, organisational design and personal coaching. His background in software engineering combined with an ongoing fascination with communities and organisations as well as individual and collective change has led him to become a certified coach, mentor and trainer of anthro-complexity and agility.
