Management Consultant & strategist Ralph Evans on turning entrepreneur! The boutique advice firm he co-founded, Pappas Carter Evans & Koop was so successful, global giant Boston Consulting Group (BCG) came knocking & bought the company!

Business strategist Ralph Evans not only helped build a boutique consultancy that actually merged and morphed into Boston Consulting Group in Australia, one of the world’s largest & most respected management advice companies, but  Evans unwittingly turned into an entrepreneur! He went on to advise and invest in the management buyout of Aussie wine brand Orlando, which went on to make its investors a tidy bundle;  and he then turned around a rather moribund Austrade, Australia’s official booster for Australian trade, by transforming it in the 1990’s into an outward-looking, entrepreneurial organisation to help local companies seize the benefits of exports. Over the past few decades, Evans has been involved in Venture Capital and advised Venture Capital funds, and more recently he’s turned his strategic analytical skills to the vexing issue he says is so urgent -- climate change. In a new book, called Toast, Evans builds a business case to persuade the community, as well as the sceptics and deniers he says, for why we must take far greater action on climate change.
