QR_ founding director Rob Ferrone joins Myriam Jenni for Share PLM's latest podcast. Discussion focusses on the core QR_ philosophy of systems not being the whole answer, with human factors such as processes, buy-in and understanding being key influencers of success. QR_'s internal training methods and efforts to build a PDM profession are also covered.

Having started out as contractors, Rob joined forces with his co-founder, Adam Grant to launch Quick Release in 2003. In Rob’s own words they were ‘two Excel types who saw a gap in the market and wanted to create a fun company of like-minded data geeks’. Climb in Consulting host Nick Synott chats with Rob Ferrone and CEO Adam Blomerley about how they set about scaling the firm from a team of four to a global consultancy operating on four continents.
