At WorkInsights we’ve developed an analytic software that helps you understand the true voice of your organizaon. With this new-found intelligence you’ll be able to uncover blindspots, identify opportunities, and ultimately build a more profitable & healthy organization.
85% of an organization's ability to execute against a goal is determined by the way people work together. Workinsights has created a new performance metric that measures collective effort, we call it Collective Functional Performance (CFP). When you understand your company's CFP, you're able to identify exactly what may be leveraging or limiting your ability to grow.
The Collective Functional Performance (CFP) report discovers the most subtle interpersonal problems in complex organizational networks and guides leaders in making the most efficient, employee-centric decisions possible by understanding and influencing the working environment (the predominant force that shapes human behaviour). With the CFP report, organizations get access to a dedicated management consultant who helps to understand the report's insights and action it's predictions.
The Remote Work Environment (RWE) report guides leaders of distributed teams toward a productive and sustainable workforce by understanding the experience of remote employees and predicting the optimal approach to work, no matter where employees work. With the RWE report, like the CFP report, organizations get access to a dedicated management consultant who helps to understand the report's insights and action it's predictions.
Leaders strive to optimize their organizations and at the same time employees genuinely want to contribute their best, yet we continue to fall short of achieving our goals.
We hire smart people and develop brilliant strategies, so what holds us back from realizing our potential?
Leaders are distracted by the noise of issues and individuals and miss the key to unlock the potential.
We know that 85% of performance results are attributed to how well we can function together as a team (Harvard, 2015), but currently there are no business analytics that measure our collective efforts.

We are moving to working remotely with incredible speed and scale that it will have a lasting impression on how we work for years to come.
Done right, remote working can boost productivity and morale; done badly, it can breed inefficiency, damage work relationships and demotivate employees.
So how can leaders tell if they're shaping an environment that will allow their employees to thrive?
Workinsights provides leaders with the data they need to understand the true perspectives of their employees in order to optimize the working environment for increased productivity and enchanced wellbeing.

Organizations that focus on the remote working environment and experience for employees report a marked increase in progress with ongoing projects, greater employee engagement, and lower turnover of talent. For remote working arrangements to thrive, organization's need to ensure five fundamental factors are being addressed, connection to others, effective communications, inclusive culture, meaningful contribution, and clear coordination of effort. These are the specific area we measure.
We founded WorkInsights in 2017 to understand how we work and develop analytics that quantifies and maps the productive energy of a company to highlight how the working environment limits or leverages the capacity for change, productivity, innovation, and growth. With the incredibly fast pace of change today, we need to lead and work together in ways to be ready for and responsive to change, and capable of thinking about what will come next and innovating to take advantage of the opportunity.
We are disrupting our approach to work and performance. We are not afraid to push boundaries. Founded in our desire to have a positive impact and make change happen for the better so entrepreneurial companies can innovate and grow, we apply our curiosity to ask and listen, to understand and learn. Energy moves people to take actions. The working experience affects whether that energy will be positive or not. And energy can be changed for the better. How people approach their work, the relationships between teams – from the frontline to management to leadership – can be positive, strained or even fearful. This flow of energy affects an organization’s ability to succeed. If the energy is blocked at a level or team, it affects the organization’s ability to reach the potential to be creative, innovative and productive, and make change or growth happen. We need to measure the mindset – how people think, feel and act – of an organization to optimize the approach to work, top down and bottom up, we identify how to support people to function at their best. By asking questions, listening to the responses, we gain insight to work together to achieve more while building healthier working environments for healthy people and healthy businesses.

"...Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why
This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,
Tell them, dear, that, if eyes were made for seeing,
Then beauty is its own excuse for Being..."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Rhodora, 1834
A good day is when I learn something new; I am fortunate to say that I have very few bad days. I enjoy discovering the similar order in seemingly distinct systems and using underlying principles to solve problems in new ways. My interests include philosophy, mechanics, computer engineering and everything in between.
I spent a decade working in the silviculture industry, planting and managing the reforestation of millions of trees across Canada — from the foothills of the Rockies all the way to the side of the 401 highway in wine country, Southern Ontario. Tree planting taught me patience, work ethic and most of all, a respect for nature. As has been said many times before, "If you seek my monument, look around you."

I am a curious guy, and the quote I respond to the most comes from the great management thinker, Peter Drucker, “The important and difficult job is never to find the right answers, it is to find the right question”.
I see questions as the way to understand others and to keep learning, I always want to keep on learning.
Outside of work, being on the bike is essential for me – it is ‘cycle-therapy’ and a great way to keep your head clear and in the right space.
I have been lucky to be involved in many positive projects and the two accomplishments I am most proud of are completing the program in disruptive strategies through Harvard Business School with Dr. Clayton Christensen (an incredible person with amazing insights) and completing The Mindset Project, the world’s largest study of entrepreneurs, mental health and decision-making – a personal and professional journey for me.

Being a fan of Walt Whitman and the movie, Dead Poet’s Society, a quote that connects deeply with me is, ‘Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.’ I believe that in order to be a great student of life, it’s essential to have strong opinions, weakly held.
When I’m not spending my time helping Leaders understand their organizations, I enjoy co-hosting Sickboy Podcast - a show that is changing the way people talk about illness by combining authentic conversation with light-hearted humour, in order to make otherwise tough conversations more accessible.
To date, my biggest accomplishment has been representing Canada as a Canoe/Kayak athlete in International Competition.
