“We were delighted to have Mathew Dickerson as the keynote speaker at our Back to Business week event. Mathew engaged the audience from the outset with his enthusiastic, witty and disarming presentation style. His experience in small business and the selection of ‘Small Business Rules’ that he shared really resonated with the crowd – who kept him on stage with a barrage of questions.”
Ross SmithSenior Economic Development Officer, Port Macquarie Hastings Council

What Can I Do for You?

I share my experience and expertise by presenting at public speaking engagements, in my weekly columns and radio segments as well as consulting business owners and Managed Services Providers on how to become more productive.

I’m a public speaker with a background in small business, technology, community enterprise and the volunteering space. I bring a wide breadth of experiences, insight and vision to any topic for any audience.  Energetic and engaging, I will encourage my audiences to come away thinking. 

I regularly perform work for businesses to help them transition their business model. This is most often in relation to IT businesses but the same principles apply to a range of different businesses. I have been involved in creating and running Advisory Boards for organisations and I am a firm believer in the value of an Advisory Board.

I am the author of the SLAM DVD and founder of Small Business Ru!es. In 2000, I commenced research on the development of a superior business model in a quest to bridge the gap between customer needs and the services provided. As a direct result of its SLA approach, the firm has won 20 major business awards over recent years, including Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner of the Year Award and an award for Innovation from The Australian Business Council in 2006.
