Ade is a compelling and entertaining business motivational speaker. His focus is on leadership. He has worked with literally hundreds of end user and technology companies and is recognised as an expert in boardroom IT issues.

Specifically he talks far and wide to senior executives on the subject of maximising the business value they receive from their IT investment.  This is very topical subject in this current market. Ade champions the importance of the CIO and CFO in helping to guide a business's future success, by having real board level input into future business decisions and strategy.

He is regarded as an expert in respect of the Technology Sector and the impact of technology on business. He has worked with many organisations including HSBC, Citigroup, The European Space Agency, Central and Local Government, Granada, Logica CMG, Siemens and many others. He is an editorial advisor to MIS magazine, targeted at CIOs, and writes for a number of online and offline publications.

His focus now is on digital leadership. In other words how business leaders need to harness new technologies to deliver greater business value,and how IT leaders need to change in order to make this happen. Importantly the IT aspect is de-emphasised and the innovation, information management and knowledge management is the new focus.

Ade is currently speaking in front of business and IT leaders on these issues

The changes he has seen in the last few years highlight that IT is becoming less important. This is a tough message for IT functions to hear so they also make a good target audience, where the leadership needs to move the minds of their IT professionals.
