What we do

What we do

We engage complex problems, informed by experience

Our 30+ years of business has seen us deliver a broad array of services across industries and sectors. Our work has directly informed government policy and strategic publications, shaped nationally significant projects and programs, and helped organisations achieve compliance and navigate change.

Our service offering and corporate history is bolstered by our staff’s wealth of prior experience.

Strategic analysis

Strategy to us is about appraising environments, risks and goals, and defining patterns of activity to adapt and achieve sustainable advantage and resilience. Strategy plays a critical part in navigating uncertainty.

We use our knowledge and experience to help evaluate the now, envision the future, and identify the building blocks that position clients for enduring success.

Public infrastructure planning

Infrastructure is a catalyst: it enables capability, drives economic prosperity,  renews urban environments, sustains communities, and improves productivity. However capital investment is fraught with complexity, with different challenges arising through the asset lifecycle.
 
We draw on our deep technical and sector expertise to navigate these complexities and assure investment decisions and facilities by integrating strategic, procedural, technical and commercial factors. We help demystify approvals and decision-making to derive maximum value from capital infrastructure in support of organisations.

Governance, quality & risk management

Public expectations of government and organisations demand rigorous controls to ensure compliance, accountability and ethical behaviour. The public interest is best served through strong corporate governance and a measured approach to enterprise risk.

We help organisations and projects improve transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements by assembling the frameworks and processes that inspire confidence. We work collaboratively to tailor controls that de-risk performance and sustain quality.
