Abstract

All of Peter's work focuses on the issue of how individuals, and therefore all organizations, assimilate Change.  When consulting, presenting or giving seminars - he has a well deserved reputation for provoking thought, challenging assumptions and exposing the real causes behind otherwise perplexing problems. 
He speaks from experience with passion, conviction and a sense of humor.  He believes his purpose is to entice his audience to think deeper about Change and how it affects us.  His goal is to challenge the myths surrounding Change that construct obstacles in front of successful implementations.  While his focus is on the Management issues surrounding Change, he also speaks on how we look to the Future and the technologies which bring Change into our lives. 

His thoughts on the Management processes surrounding Change brought about by technology are published regularly in monthly columns in Computer World, The Globe and Mail, Municipal World, the ABA Bankers Journal, as well as his own syndicated column on Change Management. 

He's spoken for hundreds of clients ranging from the World Economic Forum to a Town Hall Meeting in Peoria, IL.
