Kevin Austin BSc, MSc (ANU), PhD (FUSA), MACS, FAIM
Before Professor Kevin Austin, founder and director of Enzyme International, moved into business consulting, he spent 20 years as a medical scientist researching pain management. He was part of the Flinders Medical Centre team that made world headlines for its breakthrough in how to measure pain.
When Kevin joined a global business consulting firm, his scientific training came into its own. He saw that to really understand what people – customers, clients, staff, management, suppliers – think, survey techniques are not enough. You need to discover what is important to people.
From there, Kevin applied the specialist techniques he had honed during his time as a pain specialist to develop the robust, scientifically-backed business methodologies that Enzyme uses today.
He has had senior roles in industry and the public health sector. Kevin is highly regarded for his innovative customer and business improvement methodologies. He has worked extensively alongside some of the world’s leading experts in transformation and service quality, such as Dr Karl Albrecht who formally acknowledges the approach used by Enzyme as world leading.
