AMERIN PARTNERS & ASSOCIATES

 

The AMERIN Team is comprised of members dedicated to helping clients create stakeholder and shareholder value from intangible assets and human capital.

Underpinning each team member's expertise is an in-depth understanding of the new economy and the ability to conceptualise organisations as whole systems.

In addition to each team member's academic specialisation, all have undergone extensive training in systems theory; particularly open systems theory, which is a body of knowledge that maintains that people and their organisations, must have an open and actively adaptive relationship with their environments over time to ensure viability.

This section is currently being updated.

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.

Often this has involved transferring organisational systemic tools and techniques to managers and employees and then coaching them so they can continue to improve business performance as technology changes, employees move on, the external environment changes and so on. He has also conducted extensive action research to develop unique value driver solutions and tools that have significantly improved business performance.

Before becoming an AMERIN director, Peter held various research and management positions with the Exxon and Mars Corporations. He has degrees in Science, Education and Operations Research
