John Raffaelli

I established Into The Blue NZ Limited in 1997 as my inclination is to work in and with businesses – from start-ups to large organisations – to understand their processes, culture and how they arrived at their current destination. From there, I develop strategies, business plans and new or improved processes to drive the business forward.

A key driver for me is to educate my clients to be AGILE; that is, I give them tools to keep ahead of the game in a constantly changing economic / business environment. A good example of this is managing the effects of low unemployment and skill shortages and how they affect the traditional employee / subcontractor model.
