Beyond academia, Andrew is an experienced executive trainer and consultant. He has collaborated with companies and organisations around the world — including Panasonic, NatWest, Jacobs, the United Nations, NASA, and the Army Research Laboratory — to apply behavioural science to real-world challenges.
