DAVID ROSS founded Performance Unlimited in 1996 to help organisations develop leadership communities that are capable and confident of building high performing businesses. He uses a model he has developed for increasing organisational performance through the integration of strategy with ‘people’. The ‘people’ part of the jigsaw is essentially about getting people engaged through active participation in the creation of the framework, and about assisting teams and individuals to change mindsets in order to sustain change.

David developed the model through an innovation cycle, based on his experience over the last 18 years of working with executive teams in multi- national organisations, applying the principles of the art and science of high performance mindsets and behaviours. The model focuses on sustainability and continuity through operational excellence and continuous growth through innovation.

Prior to establishing Performance Unlimited, David held a series of senior executive roles in information technology companies.

David is married with four children and lives near Henley-on-Thames.
