Peter Aughton

Since establishing AMERIN in 1993, Peter has specialized in implementing systemic business models and the enabling conditions that have helped clients generate value from intangible assets and human capital.

He has also conducted extensive action research to develop unique value driver solutions and tools that have significantly improved business performance.
