Life. Adventure. Consulting. Technology.
I write about the things I work on, think about and experience — from business and technology to adventure, wellbeing and life.
A little about me
I'm Chris Cooper — an independent consultant, technologist and lifelong problem solver. I've spent more than two decades helping organisations navigate change, improve performance and make better use of technology.
Outside work, I'm increasingly interested in adventure, fitness, wellbeing, personal challenges and the experiences that shape how we think and live.
What I write about
Four themes that between them cover most of what I care about — at work and away from it.
Personal reflections, family, wellbeing, fitness, lessons and experiences.
