Dr. Peter Lake has a long history in industry which complements his academic achievements. Rather than simply lecturing people on what they “should do” to fix problems or action opportunities, Peter uses his industry and academic experience to identify issues and opportunities, develop strategies and follows up implementation to ensure that opportunities are actioned and issues are solved.

Business operates within a dynamic complex environment so working with people enables a business to reflect the everyday change that every business constantly experiences.

Very few businesses have people that have not experienced some form of training, be it vocational or more formal education programs. People within a business consciously and unconsciously apply their previous experience, training and education to the routines, problems and opportunities they face in their roles within an organisation. Peter uses the language of business to activate the previous training and education that people have received and build on it for the future – that is, uses formal and informal learning to better action the learning experience.

All businesses work within boundaries and these boundaries are often wrongly seen as barriers to success. Peter’s combination of industry experience and academic achievement helps the people within a business determine practical strategies that ensure they work within the boundaries prescribed by legislation and large clients. That is, helping the business meet the threshold competences prescribed by large clients in the private or government sector resulting in less competition and stronger client relationships.
