Twenty-five years ago, Sysdoc Ltd was founded by Katherine Corich who had a vision to bring the excellence in end-to-end process thinking, user-centred documentation and simulation based learning, from the Aviation Industry into business. It was 1986, and Katherine had just successfully qualified as a Commercial pilot whilst working for IBM and as a consultant at the London Stock Exchange.  Katherine started Sysdoc with a passion to make her vision a reality, and has successfully led the company to become a global enterprise operating out of four countries. Katherine was named Ernst & Young Master Entrepreneur of the Year in 2010; and is a Mentor to a number of new entrepreneurs.  Katherine has established very strong values in Sysdoc, with a focus on innovation, quality and fair play. 

To mark this special occasion, Katherine is launching the Sysdoc Foundation to provide a framework for the many environmental, education, health and sporting projects Katherine and Sysdoc support.  There was also some fun,  bringing together Sysdoc teams from across the world to two parties. In London, there was a glamorous dinner overlooking the river Thames, and in NZ, there was an afternoon of food, wine and entertainment, overlooking the Auckland harbour.
