Your Instructor, Josh Licence
Hi! Nice to meet you.
I'm an engineer, who has moved into the world of business and tech consulting. I've had experience at the "big end of town" (roles at Kraft Foods, Cadbury & Deloitte) as well as with over 500 implementations with business owners, leaders and their growing businesses.
I love introducing the capability of the "big end of town" to the growing small and medium business, and keeping across new developments in the industry for what is coming next.
I'm passionate about this academy and what I do in my advisory work as it's so important to facilitate adoption and use of technology in a sustainable way. The more people involved, the more considered the approach needs to be.
I've been told I am quite structured with my approach, and hope to pass on some great frameworks, tips and tricks that will help YOU on your journey, too.
