Testimonials

I have had the pleasure of working with Peter both as a business partner and as a team member for several years. In both capacities, Peter’s warm and engaging personality made him easy to work with, and his technical and business acumen earned him respect from his peers and team members. I have no doubt that any entrepreneur could gain valuable input from the wealth of experience that Peter has to offer. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter as a business coach or mentor to build better processes into managing a business.

Excellent opportunity to be coached by a dynamic and effective coach. Peter is accomplished in industry and life and brings so much curiosity to his coaching. That’s just what you need in a solution-focused coach and it’s all about you! Definitely recommend.

I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Journey Mapping exercise. I found the mapping extremely worthwhile and Dr. Joanne Curry’s experience and knowledge added tremendous value to the process. The modelling provided a clear and succinct understanding of what we do, for all of our stakeholders. This process resulted in the strengthening of foundations, for the delivery of successful change management processes, that have been positively embraced at numerous levels.

Peter has a wealth of industry experience that is accompanied by well-established professional networks. He and his team truly support SMEs in achieving their aspirations through corporate social responsibility. Our consultation sessions are accompanied by strategic planning, and supported by research and proven methodology. Highly recommended.

I’ve been talking with Peter recently and it’s been so helpful with refocusing what I want to do with my career both short term and longer term. I can’t recommend his amazing style of coaching and mentoring enough. Do yourself a favour and book in for a coaching session! You won’t regret it!

Peter is a well-respected manager and leader. The cross-functional team he manages is large and has been, at times, challenging - rendering Peter's efforts all the more commendable. Working in a cross-functional team has also boosted autonomy, adaptability and decisiveness, and I personally have learned a lot from Peter. We have benefited from increased collaboration and flexibility under Peter's leadership.

Jane did a great job and I think the workshop was very helpful, especially the sharing of the guest speakers in the BA field. It helped me understand better and gain so many new, practical, up-to-date insights about this career path. Jane's thoughtful sharing provided the participants with unique opportunities to gain better insights into the Business Analytics field. They will certainly be well prepared to conquer the challenges to become a true Business Analyst. We are so proud to share the positive feedback from our participants that is a direct result of your tremendous inspiration.

The Essomenic™ modelling approach we employed to help us define our desired future state for our Telehealth project and align all stakeholders on a high-value outcome is the best process I have ever experienced in over 30 years in Health IT. We will insist on it for any future engagements.

I had the privilege of being mentored by Peter Stanford under the IIBA mentorship program from July to October 2021. I was determined to build my own perspective and was looking for a mentor who could help me articulate that by giving me space while also using the mentor’s knowledge to strengthen my clarity. Peter always encouraged me to think freely and arrive at my own conclusion. Peter has provided amazing and valuable insights on a wide variety of topics – Leadership models from history, Management Strategies, Women in Leadership, Building Resilience, Service Design, Critical Business Analysis skills and more. I look forward to engaging with him as my mentor as I progress in my career.

The Essomenic modelling approach is, in my experience, unique and immensely powerful in assisting clinical service planning. Our project with Dr Joanne Curry was intended to guide the planning of a new consolidated cancer centre, including the design of a purpose-built building. Dr Curry was able to engage all stakeholders and, remarkably, achieve consensus on the redesigned multi-discipline service. A post-implementation assessment showed that the centre was not only working efficiently and according to the model, but also that it remains patient-centred and with high levels of staff satisfaction. I highly recommend Dr Curry and the Essomenic methodology.
