Colin Bass
Colin has worked both in self-employment and for large corporate organisations within New Zealand and internationally. Colin worked in Central Europe for five years. He initially held a management role with the Finnish paper manufacturer UPM/Kymene and then went on to create a successful advertising agency representing the Economist Group among other international brands in Central Europe.
On returning to New Zealand, Colin worked for New Zealand Post. His time with that organisation enabled him to further develop the skills in the fields of strategic planning and project management. Colin's desire to return to self employment was driven by the realisation that traditional text book approaches to strategic planning were out-dated. As a result, in 2000 he founded BusinessLAB as a consultancy business with the vision of creating a simplified and more accessible approach to planning that could benefit all types of organisations.
BusinessLAB has evolved into a modern change agency utilizing a multi-stakeholder approach to planning for future success. Through this work he has developed a real passion for helping people work better together in particular in the field of sustainable practice.
Colin is an accredited consultant with the Institute of Accredited Business Consultants of New Zealand
