About the team

In our Operations Transformation practice we focus on addressing the issues that keep COOs and senior executives awake at night. We start right at the top, helping our clients implement their strategic vision with a clearly articulated business case, target operating model design and robust implementation plan. We get under the bonnet of every layer of an organisation, from improving citizen experience to the performance of the organisation, optimising day to day operations and service delivery. We also specialise in setting up and running large-scale, complex transformations, designing and implementing best-in-class portfolio and program management to ensure successful delivery and execution of significant programs of work for both states and the nation.

Our team collaborates with senior leaders across Federal and State government, who are faced daily with shifting stakeholder expectations and regulatory obligations, requiring them to transform their operations to improve processes, optimise their organisational structures and lower costs. We support government agencies and regulators to meet their responsibilities and serve the citizens of NSW and Australia.

We specialise in turning strategies into measurable and sustainable results. Our clients face complex challenges that range from transformation in response to societal demands through to disruption from technological advances that drive them to rethink citizen experience, and make the efficiencies that can be gained from the way they run their operations using the tech that can support them. Our team is growing rapidly in response to the need for critical thinkers who can solve complex problems and who want to work in purpose-led, change-making projects which make a real difference.
