Books & Publications
Richard Stutely’s books have helped executives, entrepreneurs, investors, business owners and students around the world better understand business, finance and economics.
Throughout his career, Richard Stutely has been fascinated by a simple challenge: how do you take a complex subject and make it understandable, practical and useful?
That question has shaped much of his work as an adviser, economist, entrepreneur and author. It has also led to several internationally successful business books.
Widely regarded as one of the leading practical guides to business planning, this book has helped entrepreneurs, managers and business owners develop clearer strategies, stronger plans and more effective funding proposals.

Reader reviewBooks that travel
Richard's books are used by entrepreneurs, executives, universities and MBA business schools internationally.
Richard has lectured MBA students from the University of London and the University of Western Australia, reinforcing the same principle that runs through much of his work:
Complex subjects become valuable only when people can understand and apply them.
Writing
Richard has never viewed writing as simply a publishing activity.
For him, writing is a way of organizing ideas, testing assumptions and creating clarity.
The same principles that help create a successful business plan often help create a successful book:
Whether the result is a business strategy, governance guide, board paper or book, the underlying challenge is often remarkably similar.
Bring order to complexity.
Thought leadership
In addition to his own publications, Richard has worked with entrepreneurs, executives and subject-matter experts to develop books, articles and thought-leadership content.
Many of these projects begin with expertise, experience or ideas that deserve a wider audience but have not yet been organized into a coherent message.
Richard's role is not simply to write. It is to help clarify ideas, identify key messages and create content that informs, influences and endures.
Beyond the books
Over the years, Richard has also contributed to business plans, investment memoranda, governance guides, strategic reports, policy documents, articles and presentations across a wide range of industries and organizations.
While the formats differ, the objective remains unchanged.
Richard's working principles
A conversation rather than a pitch
Richard occasionally works with entrepreneurs, executives and experts who wish to develop a book, guide or thought-leadership project. Such engagements are undertaken selectively.
