Advisory
Consulting services are advisory in nature and are designed to assist entities in solving problems, improving performance or achieving specific objectives. Our aim is to bring subject matter expertise and experience to address your specific opportunities or challenges.
While advisory services will involve us working closely together to understand your needs – examples of specific advisory services we offer include:
Design of policies, processes and procedures
We work collaboratively with agencies to assist in the design and development of tailored frameworks that enhance operational effectiveness, compliance and overall performance. We can assist with documenting and mapping current processes, or in designing future-state operations and the suite of enabling documentation.
CFO Advisory
Our qualified finance professionals support agencies to navigate financial complexities with confidence. Delivering a range of services to CFOs and finance teams, our team can provide strategic insights, financial planning, budgeting and management guidance – supporting clients to make informed and impactful financial decisions.
Data Analytics
We leverage advanced analytics tools and techniques to transform raw data into valuable business intelligence, enabling agencies to make informed, data-driven decisions.
Understanding the benefits that effective analytics can bring to organisations, we not only design and conduct analytics – but work collaboratively with clients to utilise analytics tools on an ongoing basis. This allows agencies to harvest the benefits of analytics capability while maintaining ownership.
Procurement and Contract Management
We embed with finance and procurement functions to support agencies streamline procurement workflows, negotiate favourable contracts and implement best-practices in accordance with the Commonwealth Procurement Rules. Our consultants are able to identify deficiencies in the design of procurement frameworks and assist in promoting better compliance outcomes.
Business Continity and Disaster Recovery Management
Safeguard your organisation against disruption with our Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Management services. We assess risks to your operations (through the conduct of a Business Impact Analysis (BIA)), develop robust continuity plans, and implement recovery strategies to ensure resilience in the face of unforeseen events.
Risk Assessments and Risk Management Frameworks
We support agencies to mitigate risks and enhance decision-making – through conducting comprehensive risk assessments, designing tailored risk management frameworks in accordance with the Commonwealth Risk Management Policy and the Australian/New Zealand Standard for Risk Management (AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018), and provide strategic guidance to support the achievement of your objectives.
Governance Frameworks
We can assist in designing and implementing effective governance structures, policies and controls – helping to foster transparency, accountability and sustained performance. This includes advice around Accountable Authority Instructions and financial delegations, through to providing advice on governance structures and developing Terms of Reference for key oversight bodies.
Performance Measurement and Monitoring
We specialise in designing and implementing frameworks to assess and enhance performance against key indicators and performance measures. From designing performance measures that are compliant with the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014 through to assessing and reporting performance results within Annual Performance Statements, we help to empower agencies to drive efficiency, achieve objectives and stay agile in a dynamic environment.
Change Management
We work alongside large-scale transformation projects to support the successful adoption of new processes, technologies and organisational structures while minimising resistance and maximising engagement. With such projects simultaneously becoming more commonplace and complex, there is a need to ensure key elements such as stakeholder management, training and development and corporate communications are being managed appropriately.
