WOSO-GaMI was founded by Steven Crocker following his retirement from a successful 30-year career in management consulting under his WOSO brand.
He sought to step away from the demands of extensive travel, boardroom meetings, hotel stays, airport transfers, and long-term project commitments, while still committed to supporting businesses that may lack the in-house resources and skills to identify and source the support they need.
This led to the creation of WOSO-GaMI: a free, virtual service that draws upon knowledge, experience, and established business network to provide practical, straightforward “take it or leave it” business guidance, together with managed introductions to trusted organisations.

Our founder started his first technology business in the early 1990s and later went on to build additional ventures in mobile communications and various online platforms, while also investing in a variety of businesses. Several companies approached him develop external sales channels, while others engaged him as a non-executive consultant to review and restructure their organisations. By the late 1990s, he was consulting on a range of disciplines for a number of world class businesses .
The rest of his story spans more than 30 years of management consulting.
Now retired from frontline consulting, our founder established WOSO-GaMI to provide initial guidance for businesses facing challenges, share practical business information he believed would be valuable, and introduce companies to trusted specialists who could support their specific needs.
His aim was to make this service freely available, delivered primarily online with minimal site visits, while still maintaining oversight of any relationships or introductions he recommended.
As a Fellow of the IIB — a global network of more than 5,000 global consultants — our founder is entitled to use the post-nominal letters FInstIB. Fellowship is awarded by peers in recognition of a deep understanding of all aspects of business, together with a proven track record of helping companies and fellow IIB associates solve complex challenges.
Although the IIB has naturally diminished over time as many consultants have retired, he remains proud to use the designation, knowing it was awarded through the respect and recognition of his fellow consultants.
