David Brown, Chief Executive Officer South West Credit


“David applies an innovative approach to problem solving, providing strategies that positively affect the bottom line. He is always able to see the long term goals and provide positivity even when surrounded by the short term noise. His book will provide a refreshing outlook when it comes to business strategy.”

Helen Pomlett, Director APT Solutions (Australasia)


“David’s extensive business experience across the private and government sectors is brought to bear on the subject of innovation, one of the key issues facing the CEO in today’s post GFC climate.

This book assists with developing a different approach to innovation, it clearly identifies what used to work in the past is no longer applicable in today’s changed business conditions.

I have found this book to be thought provoking and challenging the status quo.”

Len Place, Chief Executive, Appletree Partners
