Not only is David a facilitator of the ILM methodologies, he is also a committed
user of the approach for his own work. There is seldom a project David is involved
in, in which he does not apply the ILM framework to help solve the situation.
As a result David has developed an intimate feel for the value of the Investment
Management framework and the way it works. He uses it extensively in the
analysis of messy, complex situation leveraging its ability to assist organisations
separate truth from the institutional myths.
