ABOUT THE FOUNDER

He has facilitated strategic planning sessions for Fortune 500 companies as well as government agencies for more than 12 years.
​
Ian is the Master Trainer for the Clarity State Decision Making™ methodology in Asia, a programme developed at MIT-Sloan Business School which helps decision makers look at the strategic nature of decisions and help them make the right decision every time. Ian also teaches Prof Jeanne Liedtka’s programs on strategic thinking and design thinking in Asia. By combining the two programs, Ian developed GCA's Strategic Decision-Making framework that has been applied successfully in companies like Singapore Airlines, UBS, Bank of Tokyo, Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS), United Overseas Bank Group and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the former SPRING Singapore and the Singapore Tourism Board.

As CEO of SCALA, Ian is both responsible for the operations of the academy as well as the overall programme development.

More than half of the first graduating cohort has reported new business growth as a direct result of the programme.
