About the speaker
Adam Jacob
Adam has 24 years’ experience in technology management consulting working for several large global consultancies across delivery, strategy and architecture.
Most recently, Adam took a leap forward and set up Forwd - a company designed to deliver consulting differently, placing the client and a strong ethical approach ahead of all else.
His experience across consulting for a range of sectors has enabled him to see what happens when ethics are not by design with the resultant negative impact on the client, the consultancy and the team itself.
Adam has contributed to an article for IT Now about "Ethical Management Consultant" available on: https://discover.bcs.org/articles/being-an-ethical-management-consultant/
