6Q Governance is based on the research of ​Dr Raymond Young. His research has been published by Standards Australia as a handbook explaining how boards and top managers influence business projects to succeed (HB280). His research is potentially the first major breakthrough on IT project failure in over 50 years and some indicators suggest his concepts could increase GDP by 1.6% – 3.1%.

Dr Young’s career alternates between industry, consulting and academia. He was most recently a Senior Associate Professor in the International School of Business at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. He has a decade of management consulting experience culminating in a CIO role within Fujitsu Australia.

Dr Young is a fellow of the Australian Institute of Project Management (FAIPM) and a fellow of the Governance Institute of Australia (FGIA). He is a founding member of the committee that developed the Australian and international governance standards AS8016 and ISO38500.
