Transforming how organizations learn, develop and changeÂ
David has worked with 70 organizations around the world in support of their change and coaching initiatives. He uses his work with Integrative Development to help organizations equip people to be at their best and achieve their best outcomes more often.
People learn as they bring about change and changes are more likely to stick because the people involved learned what was necessary. Clients include: Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Google, Logitech, Nike, PwC, Westpac, and the State of Oregon (US).

Using AI to improve how we live, learn, and communciate
An exciting new example is his work with Ovida (ovida.io). They are a leading AI scale-up. David used his expertise to help them design their platform. It enables people to improve their communication skills far better than through traditional means, by offering a safe place to practice for example.
He continues to advise the Ovida founders and he supports enterprise users and coaching schools to get the most out of their use of the platform. Ovida enables organizations to move from the hype of AI to the hope of AI through its integration with David's work. Â
