He has worked with over 90 organisations (private and public sectors), and has authored numerous publications, on subjects ranging from performance management to organisational re-structuring; from executive pay to creativity and innovation; managing culture, people risk and trust; and from digitising L&D to employee engagement.

In recent years he has increasingly engaged in community and tourism affairs in North Clare, including working on re-vitalising the Burren Visitor Centre (and serving as a board member of the related co-op), co-creating a community group (a PPN member) in Kilfenora, developing the local tourism strategy, and contributing to the North Clare Communities Group. He has designed visitor experiences, including creating extensive written, graphic and photographic content; acts as a tour designer and guide; and manages websites and social media for several local organisations. A practising musician, he also represents Ireland at the European Folk Network.
