Bill was raised in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The combination of a small community and small business (his parents were SME Owner-Leaders) had a big impact on his values and philosophy. After graduating to work as a software engineer in 1984, he joined a 1 man business - Metech - to solve ore resource estimation and mine planning problems. He went on to lead Metech. This led to the founding of acQuire - a geoscience software company. Bill was an Owner-Leader in acQuire for 22 years and it was in this company that Bill founded ADAPT by Design (adapt). Successsion Thinking was seed in acQuire and validated in adapt.
