Hi, I’m
Gareth Dunlop
I’m a speaker, trainer and consultant specialising in innovation, AI, digital transformation, user experience and product design.
I’ve worked in digital design and communication since the mid-1990s. Since then, I’ve led, grown and sold two design agencies, invested in digital products and helped guide businesses at board level. Some ventures ended in acquisition. Others ended in tears. Both taught me a great deal about how organisations make decisions.
Those experiences led me to develop DecisionIQ®, a framework built on the simple idea that organisations achieve better results by making smarter decisions, and make smarter decisions through better process and stronger culture.
DecisionIQ® now underpins my speaking, training and consulting, helping organisations innovate deliberately, apply AI with purpose, create better products and services and navigate digital transformation with confidence.

And get in touch any time for a no-obligation chat.




Here’s how I can help you

I can train your people in topics such as design thinking, UX Fundamentals, AI for UX teams, and related other subjects
I can offer guidance at a senior level on product direction and design, through consultancy, NED and fractional leadership roles
I can help you plan and deliver programmes of UX research and design
I can use my decades of experience to coach and mentor you if you are an agency leader and want to avoid making the mistakes I made
