Summary Jonathan has more than 34 years experience consulting in the accounting, governance, IT and strategy consulting industries, and 25 years in CEO, senior executive and board positions with a variety of commercial, educational and semi-government entities. His work history includes leading and authoring a variety of commercial software systems, enterprise scale project management, internal audit leadership and audit committee membership, strategy and performance management leadership, process design and the authoring of books, methods and papers covering a wide range of management technologies. He was the first person in Australia to be triply qualified as an ACA, CIA and CISA. Jonathan is a thought leader in the areas of governance and control theory. With other thinkers in the field of governance systems design, he argues that a concept of holistic organisation design based around a network of stakeholder communities and assertion based process control objectives with predictive reporting can provide economic, realistic, flexible, measurable and sustainable proof of governance and deliver efficient operations and effective market response. He is a strong proposer of control self assessment models for internal control and risk management. His theories have been applied in practice on many commercial and government organisations (see client list) and he was a significant adviser in the government reform space during the mid to late 1990's that saw some Australian governments embrace accrual accounting, whole-of-government shared service delivery, public-private partnerships, multi-year budgeting, and formal organisation governance and risk management. His team was one of the first to define and adopt risk based project management throughout all project advisory and large scale systems implementation services. They have of a 100% success rate in systems implementation projects across a period of 10 years using the approach and during that time delivered more than 20 whole of organisation financial, HR and business management systems. He has had the rare privilege of having been engaged by major consulting firms to advise them on internal systems delivery and project governance matters. An active software developer in Delphi, .Net and a variety of web languages, Jonathan also leads the software engineering team of Bishop Phillips Consulting (a publisher of among other things BPC RiskManager, BPC SurveyManger and BPC IncidentManager). He is currently actively exploring the application of massively multiplayer virtual worlds for corporate, education and social networks and over the last two years his virtual design company has completed a number of large design and construction projects in Second Life, one of the leading online virtual world environments.
