Telesis' Legacy
Building your legacy and the next chapter
Through its existence Telesis has worked with many colleagues to collaborate in delivering tailored solutions to meet clients requirements. But ultimately Telesis is a one person operation. Me.
The common thread through this work - and my professional passion - is a lifelong fascination with innovation. This has mainly about developing process innovations which are required at the convergence of demography, geography, technology, small and medium business and industries. This requires developing an understanding of the current state, what the forces are which are forcing change, or presenting opportunities, and developing coherent achievable options for are strategic AND achievable.
My current project - The Regenerative Pivot - is a perfect example of these attributes. It is based on the growing recognition that sustainable business practices (doing no further harm) is a necessary but insufficient response to our future world of global warming and social exclusion. A different approach is required.
In parallel there is a "changing of the guard" in SMB ownership with millions of baby boomer business owners seeking to retire. Simultaneously a revolution is occurring within the finance industry with more than $30bn. of funds being directed to Impact Investments.
Supporting this transition is The Regenerative Pivot's reason for being as an adviser and communicator of this once in a generation movement.
