Bill is an amazingly knowledgeable and enthusiastic consultant, with a great grasp of what is important in looking at businesses.  His books are useful and readable.  I recommend Bill to anyone looking to optimise how your business performs.
Peter Ghys Principal Consultant, Ericsson Australia

​In following Bill’s many contributions to business intelligence on Linked-In and elsewhere I have come to realise that we have in him, just the sort of innovative business contributor to value-adding that Eric Abetz has been saying Tasmania has always had quite a lot of. I remember listening to Eric when he was involved in student politics (as I was also tangentially) talk about Tasmania as a being a great potential source of mainstream business ideas and innovation.   It is from projects like Bill’s that we can expect to see many new and interesting business developments come out of Tasmania in the future to service the needs of business.
Dr. Christopher Hayman

I have got to know Bill as a colleague on the Board of the International Coach Federation Australasia Chapter.  Bill impresses me with his innovative thinking and the many business opportunities he has found for the Chapter to generate more income.  He has been very proactive in coming up with ideas that will benefit not just the ICF but also add value to its members.

What one thing could I write about Bill?  He writes great books!  I've purchased both Metastorm ProVision(R) 6.2 User Guide and Metastorm ProVision 6.2 Made Easy, and they deliver everything that's promised and then some.  For anyone reaching for the ProVision 'bible" - reach for one of Bill's books.  Well organized and indexed, you can find the answer to any question!

His understanding of ProVision, Enterprise Designer and how they can be used to achieve the desired results was exceptional.
Lee VellaSenior Business Analyst, New Zealand Racing Board


Understand
Bill has an ability to understand highly complex problems and to solve them. He is understated in the way that he presents his abilities, but then overdelivers in the execution. A good person to have in your team.
Chris Gilbey OAM

Though I never had the privilege of meeting with Bill in person, I have been an ardent fan of his book 'ProVision 6.2 User Guide' since 2010. Having worked with various process modeling / design tools since 2006 (viz. System Architect, iGrafx, Oracle BPA, Aris, ProVision, IBM BPM, BlueWorks Live in chronological order), ProVision is a tool that I have used the longest till date.Though ProVision had certain challenges in publishing aspects, the way Bill described the features of ProVision and the ease with which I could understand it is one of the driving factors for my favouring ProVision. His thorough knowledge of process design in general, and work specifically in ProVision helped bring understand the broader concepts of enterprise architecture and modeling concepts. He has been a great influence for me in advocating the suitability of ProVision in my organisation. I can connect with the impact Bill has on his readers in the way he describes tool features, and the ease with which it could be understood. Being a BPM / Process Consultant and a "Quality" professional, with ambitions to consult and author on my own in the near future, I look forward to read more of his writings and be inspired.
Girish K C Asst. Vice President - Process Governance, HSBC

Bill is an intelligent, positive person who seeks to make a difference in the world. His focused, well planned approach to any decision eliminates many of the variables that can go wrong before they begin. He is an asset to any team environment and provides great leadership when required.
Rod Force Partner, Nest Property

I was very impressed by Bill's knowledge of enterprise architecture, as well as his wider experience with quality, projects and system development. Enterprise Designer is a conceptually elegant and very helpful framework to help make sense of business processes. Bill also excelled at communicating Enterprise Designer subtleties to technical staff and management. I will be very happy to work with Bill again.
Bill Wilson

Bill's wide experience in both the business and academic world enables him to bring a logical approach with his highly developed intuition.This enables Bill to assist with the commercial outcomes of a business but to get to the heart of the issues quickly.He has a real eye for detail and process while engaging clients with his authenticity and humour. Most importantly he gets results and facilitates change for the better!

Dean Prebble Director, Zach Limited

I first met Bill in 2013 when he presented as a guest speaker at a monthly training forum in Hobart; high calibre members from a broad range of backgrounds...to put it mildly, the group suffers fools lightly! Bill's creativity, thoughtfulness, expertise and integrity were evident and appreciated by one and all. Thanks Bill; 
Mike Radburn, Consultant Psychologist, Hobart, Tasmania

Coach
I had the pleasure of having Bill as my lecturer and coach. Bill is a seasoned professional with an amazing ability to create a relaxed yet intense coaching experience.
Peter D Olivier Global Practice Director, Hatch

Some people amass five years of experience, and then tag themselves with a label of 'expert', and face the other direction to teach those around them. For others, its ten, years, fifteen, or more, but the effect is the same. it is an acquire and deliver model. With Bill, nothing could be further from the truth. Bill is a coach, facilitator, mentor, advisor, but more than that, an eternal student. What made a lasting impression for me through my learnings with Bill is his constant enquiry into life, language, thoughts; understanding the content and context that drives all that we do, not just uncovering answers, but the drive to find the next question. Bill is challenging, questioning, and has my highest regard and respect.
Mark Yaxley

Bill is an expert in helping businesses to understand who they are and what it is that they do.  The process that he applies is simple to understand and will give any business owner a real wake-up call.  I have seen a monumental shift with one of the businesses that Bill works with and the marketing strategies and management of the business is so much easier now.  Thanks Bill
Sharyn Hill

Bill is an exceptional leader and facilitator.  His capacity to identify problems and provide strategies for solutions is outstanding.  Bill's entrepreneurial spirit means that he is always seeking the best and is committed to helping you succeed, whatever the endeavour.
Nicholas Ross Manager People Strategy & Performance, Transend Networks Pty Ltd

'Ridiculously dedicated' is the phrase that comes to mind when I think of Bill. Few people have the opportunity to have a manager who is also a coach and mentor - but I did when I worked with Bill. As a leader or a team member, Bill earns my highest recommendation.
Abhi Bhowmick Business Analyst, iOctane

Bill has an excellent coaching background based on study and experience both in Australia and overseas.  In the time I have worked with him I have seen first hand the value his coaching and the AltusQ frameworks bring. Coaching is deceptively simple until you try it, then the high skill requirement becomes obvious. Coaching is now an elective subject at UTAS with Bill lecturing in it.
Stephen Porter Business, Leadership and Career Coach, AltusQ

Bill has assisted many small businesses and community groups as a BMST Mentor. He has also provided training and guidance to his fellow Mentors. His passion for Tasmania is obvious, I am very pleased  to recommend Bill.

Bill is also a passionate advocate for Tasmania and all its untapped potential and does whatever he can to take people along on the journey!
Julie Henderson Manager, Cascades Female Factory Historic Site, Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority

Sue Reeves Personal Assistant/Coach/Sales/Marketing, AltusQ New Zealand Limited

Clearly, a business coach needs to know business and be an effective communicator. Cue Bill Aronson. One of the many gifts Bill has is the ability to see the big picture of a business or government enterprise and at the same time be able to focus on the small things, about business systems, about how people interact, that make an enterprise work, or not. He has amazing patience, with people, organisations and technology,  and a quiet determination to ensure that a process is understood and goals are accomplished.
Des Walsh Business Coach, Des Walsh dot Com

What an exceptional person Bill is! His knowledge of business, people, communication and community will ensure his input into your situation will create value.

You too could be challenged and grow - just call Bill!!
Carolyn Bryant Coach, Think Feel Know

I have been extremely fortunate to work closely with Bill  during the past 15 months.  His wealth of knowledge and experience has driven the projects we have shared. I would best describe Bill has an initiator.  He has the ability to asses and identify the core components of each project.  He understands the relevance and relationship between bench-marking and performance.  He is adeptly able to see the link between the potential of a business and the individuals who work there.   His clients value his humanistic and  proactive approach to their businesses and themselves. He truly understands how important relationships are in every a aspect of life.
Suki Laniado Smith Business & Executive Coach, Shirlaws

I have worked with Bill on many occasions whilst contracting to organisations where iOctane has provided support and consultation.Bill’s enthusiasm for process always comes through in his presentations and when talking with his clients.Bill is able to articulate the big picture for an organisation within the context of the organisation’s current level of process maturity and provide clarity on the steps needed for the organisation to move up the maturity model.Bill is certainly one of the genuine Thought Leaders in process and organisational change with the innovation of Enterprise Designer, and in his ability to demonstrate, promote and share the concepts in an actionable and distilled way.His book “Enterprise Designer - Building a Conscious Organisation” has certainly challenged the way I thought about process and is surely a ‘must read’ for all process professionals.
Keith Layton Business Process Analyst (Contractor), Inland Revenue

Although he has ‘written the book’ on Metastorm ProVision, his expertise is far broader. The software is not the main factor, it is the practice, as he shows us in "Enterprise Designer – building a conscious organisation".Bill has developed a whole methodology for modelling an organisation’s processes in a robust and effective manner. While we at Process Mapping concentrate on the automation side, we often notice that the concept of modelling an entire organisation is seen to be confusing and unproductive by our customers. The methodology that Bill has developed, and his books and training courses, show a clear and effective path through that confusion and into productivity.
