Grant Purdy

While he has had many titles over the last 40+ years, they all seems to come down to assisting decision makers to have effective and efficient conversations about whether the decisions they are making, and have made previously, are providing sufficient certainty that intended outcomes will be achieved.

Through most of Grant’s career this has been labelled risk management. However, despite his best efforts, this is still widely perceived as being concerned with failure rather than with success.

Nowadays, he mentors, trains, supports and generally helps organisations and the people who lead them make more-soundly based decisions – so their organisation can realise its purpose.

Grant has worked in over 25 countries and in numerous types of industry and organisation. He’s had over 100 articles and papers published, spoken probably too often and also written quite a few books and handbooks, always with others.

Grant has started five companies, held executive positions in four multi-national companies, has sat on several boards and committees and currently chairs the Boards of two not-for-profit organisations.
