Stuart Anderson

John provided advisory services to myself and the Senior Management at OPB in support of our IT Services review. The project was a great success, validating our procurement strategy to continue with IT services outsourcing. John continued to advise us through the procurement cycle, which resulted in a 'State of Art' service based agreement. John has a great grasp of the Outsourcing environment, risks, pros and cons. His knowledge, expertise and commitment ensured success. John is very personable and worked well with myself and my team. I would not hesitate in engaging John as an advisor in the future.

Robert Pope, MBA, CPA

John was knowledgeable on IT strategy, had great insight on industry trends and was very proactive. He also provided quick follow-up, was easy to work with and a great listener. John always had a strong contribution! I thoroughly enjoyed working with John to develop our 4-year IT strategic plan.

I worked with John recently in an engagement in a large South African Bank, where we were requested to assess their IT organisation and assist in their request for proposal in Application Maintenance. John provided valuable insight coming from a rich background in sourcing and cost optimisation work in Canada and the UK. The client was very impressed with his general knowledge in these spaces and held his insights in high regard. Working under John was a pleasure! He has direct approach to leadership and clear guidance of work expectations. He encourages an open learning approach and is willing to coach you to develop your expertise. He is a knowledge sharing champion sharing his sea of wealth accumulated over the years. I would not hesitate to work with him again.
