“I have worked with James on a number of strategic projects, and can wholly testify to his planning prowess. Each project has involved a component of qualitative research, and James has a great talent for getting to the incisive truths through his moderating style, and then synthesising and building on these truths to develop expansive and exciting strategies. I also admire James for the work that he puts in through Group Think on nurturing the next wave of planning talent, which is so vitally important. I recommend James without hesitation.”
