June Members Night - Strategic Planning

Tuesday 23 June, 2009 at 7 pm

Join us in June as Scott Paterson takes us through the essentials of Strategic Planning for Small Business.  The old adge that if you fail to plan you plan to fail is so true.  In the current economic climate planning is even more essential.

Scott’s formative years were spent on an orchard and market garden in the Adelaide Hills and then in the Jungle of Papua New Guinea when his parents went from being farmers to
missionaries.

Scott joined the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) straight out of high school and completed a 4 year Bachelor of Electronic Engineering as an RAAF engineering cadet at RMIT.  On his graduation as an engineer and an officer, Scott was posted to RAAF Base Amberley near Brisbane, where he met his wife of 26 years, Claudette. They now have 4 children aged between 16 and 22.

Scott subsequently had postings to Logistics Command - Melbourne, The F/A-18 Procurement Project Team at Boeing - St Louis USA, Resident Engineer on a joint RAAF/Canadian Forces project at Litton Systems - Toronto Canada, F/A-18 Maintenance Wing - RAAF Base Williamtown (Newcastle), Staff College - RAAF Base Fairbairn (ACT) and Manager of the F/A-18 Upgrade Project – Australian Defence Force Headquarters (ACT).  His work on the latter took him to military units and defence contractors all over Australia, Europe and Israel.

Just before his promotion to Wing Commander, Scott completed a post graduate diploma in Management Studies (Staff College) that included subjects such as “The Art of War” and “Military Strategic Planning”.  Scott was given several maintenance and project management roles with budgets over a billion dollars that required sound strategic planning to get right from their inception.  None of the projects he managed ever received media attention for the wrong reasons.

Scott resigned from the RAAF 12 years ago and spent the next 2 years trying out business development for a mad inventor, investment property sales and consulting to innovators, before spending 4 years in IT management at Gold Coast City Council.  In 2004 he ran for state parliament, just failing to wrest the seat from the sitting member.  In January 2005 Scott was asked to start a finance company.  12 months after it went operational it had written $100 million dollars in loans, during which time he added financial planning to the services offered.  After 4 years there Scott resigned to pursue his passion - strategic planning for kingdom business.

Scott has a degree in Engineering, a post graduate diploma in Management Studies, a certificate IV in Mortgage Broking and a diploma of Financial Planning and lives with his family on the Gold Coast.
