About

Stephen Cresswell works independently on problems that require both analysis and judgement. His background spans risk management, value engineering and strategic innovation, with over 20 years advising complex projects and organisations. He holds a degree in Physics and a postgraduate diploma in Strategy & Innovation from Oxford Saïd Business School, and is particularly interested in how forecasts fail, how decisions drift, and how better questions lead to better outcomes.
