Introducing Alan Casey

Alan Casey

My journey through to Word of Mouth That Works (WoMTWo™) had been in senior leadership roles in the NZ power industry, where I led the national grid control centre through a period of technological transformation. So it was this ability to ‘strip down’ complex business processes that led me to approach my co-founder Jake Pearce with the proposition of codifying his word of mouth knowledge into an online learning programme.

The creation of WoMTWo™ has enabled me to draw on my experience of the design of learning and development programmes that I created in the control centre of the national grid.

Being purpose-led comes from my experience of chairing a charity in New Zealand for 10 years. It leads you to realise that profit, while it’s important, is not the be all. We must have a higher purpose.​

Advocates form the tribe that repeatedly and consistently tell stories about your organisation. #podcast #WoMTWo #NFP
