PS Principles Approach
Challenge The Status Quo
According to Business Wire, the professional services industry is set to grow to over $7 Billion by 2025...However, over $800 Million of those dollars will be wasted on failed projects.
To help reduce this projected waste and to increase the project success rate of firms, we aim to challenge the status quo within the professional services industry.
Here's how:
- Choose the format that works best for your firm. Whether that's online consultant trainings or in-person workshops, we're here to help your team get where they need to be.
- Deliver content that is approachable, easy to understand, and that has been tested in the field. PS Principles only teaches what we know works.
- Encourage action to disrupt ingrained thinking patterns within the organization.
- Note - This approach is applicable to all sorts of professional skills. If you have other ones that you don't see listed on our website, please don't hesitate to contact us and see how we can work together.

Shane has almost 30 years experience in the delivery of enterprise professional services and founded PS Principles in 2014 after publishing his ground-breaking book, The Seven Principles of Professional Services, which has become the standard orientation guide for customer-facing consultants.

Shortly after founding the company, he put the theories to the ultimate test by becoming the CEO of CirrusOne, a CPQ implementation start-up. Using the principles, he and the other partners took the company from 3 to almost 50 people in 2.5 years becoming one of the leading systems integrators in the CPQ space for multiple vendors. Shane has a unique blend of enterprise sensibility and start-up abandon. A desire to use tried and true methods while also reinventing and challenging the status quo. He has worked for enterprise giants such as IBM, SingTel and Salesforce while also being involved in several startups including BigMachines, Badgeville, Vignette Corporation and Kimble Applications.
