As Rashid spent many years in highly technical environments with organisations such as NCR and DEC, and subsequently with consulting organisations such as Unisys and DMR Group, he brings a deep understanding of technology and how it can be integrated into the business using language that business people are comfortable with.
Over the last few years, Rashid has concentrated on General Management, Consulting and Sales. Rashid has consulted extensively in the area of Cultural Change, Project Management, Service Management and Product Development. Rashid firmly believes in the transference of knowledge and has mentored and trained both individuals and teams in the areas of consulting skills, people management and human behaviour.
As a General Manager of a large Australian Software House, Rashid was instrumental in redefining a culture of blame and a climate of non performance into a thriving operation within one year. This was achieved by putting in place a culture of individual empowerment and responsibility where every employee bought into the organisation's vision for growth. Staff turnover was reduced from 60% to 5% per year with a subsequent increase in software production and reduction in training costs.
Having undertaken extensive training in Psychology, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Human Behaviour and Modeling Excellence, Rashid brings a human touch to technical environments while simultaneously demonstrating that he provides a bridge between the technical and business aspects of an operation.
You must constantly evolve to prosper. Working with individuals and teams, Rashid is a dynamic, empathetic facilitator who provides an environment where everyone can grow.

Our Contribution to making the world a better place:
We donate 10% and more of our total gross income to charities including Opportunity International who specialise in giving people a hand up rather than a hand out.
This is done via enabling the poorest of the poor to create micro businesses that support not only themselves, but up to 70-80 people in their local communities.
In other words, teaching them how to fish and finding new fishing grounds.
