DUNCAN MCLACHLAN
"I see the world as challenges and opportunities, constant change but not change for change's sake. I like to find the most right things to do or the very best way to solve a problem. I like the idea of amplifying goals, making them bigger and braver than they would be without my encouragement. And to accelerate progress, get people and projects to the finish line faster and better."
