He has developed a fresh approach to corporate planning which incorporates a number of new and distinct elements: a composite of strategic/scenario planning (the five year plus view) and business planning (a one to two year outlook). It is a process that builds broad buy-in, crystallises clear strategic action plans and drives change management. Simon has extensive experience in relation to assisting companies to expand, utilising both organic strategies and growth by acquisition. He is experienced in the online environment, leading one large corporate's ecommmerce initiative, and leading a major telco's entrée into online financial services: a project which took a diversification strategy from concept stage into a fully developed plan incorporating banking, investment and insurance. He has also led the development of a number of distribution strategies, together with tailored segmentation and launch programs. From 1998 to 2000, Simon was head of strategy and planning for Wesfarmers' chemicals division. This resulted in a revised strategy and clearly focused direction for the division. Prior to Wesfarmers, Simon was with Prudential-Bache in Australia, as General Manager-Funds Management. Simon has a strong interest in tax reform. Alongside his current role as Chairman of the Australian Institute of Company Directors' Taxation and Economics Committee, he also chairs the Business Coalition for Tax Reform's group addressing the recrafting of Australia's present personal tax environment. |
