What others are saying
“I worked with Mark in the safety leadership and coaching space. His customer focus and relationship management skills were first class and would have no hesitation in working with him again.”
— Jonathan M.
“Mark initially came on board our organisation to develop a performance framework to manage our many community service providers. Mark picked up a project that had been spinning wheels for 2 years. He demonstrated the ability to quickly understand the outcome we were looking for and translate that into a solution, both from a business and system perspective. As a result, it gave us the confidence to give him responsibility of managing the underlying Salesforce software development project as well, replacing a poor performing Project Manager in the process. Mark brought both projects home with relative ease and achieved excellent stakeholder engagement and outcomes.”
-Rob M, Director (Communities Government Agency)
“Mark lead our organisation through a values based strategic planning exercise, starting with small workshops for all of our 400 staff. His approach enabled us to develop people and culture centric strategic plans that were based on our people’s values – transcending any future leadership change. His work was appraised by one of the big 4 consulting firms and they recommended the rest of our organisation replicate it.”
-Russell H, CIO (Health Organisation)
