Since his retirement, he has stayed involved with the business and the infocomm community.

He was formerly chairman of the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre where he started applying his management consulting background to nonprofit work.

He has written extensively on the nonprofit sector. Doing Good Well: What Does (and Does Not) Make Sense in the Nonprofit World, his first book, is a distillation of these writings, updated for an international context.
