We thoroughly recommend bringing in a process expert like Steve to encourage alternative thinking and mitigate confirmation bias. When considering digital transformation innovation and adaptability is key. We reached out to Steve to help us foster a more open-minded and adaptable environment. This involved assessing our application architecture and promoting a learning culture through open dialogue and scenario planning utilising BPMN notation. We have been able to comfortably explore alternatives and have confidence that these approaches will drive meaningful advancements.

Manager Community Recovery, Buloke Shire Council
I worked with Steve in a couple of projects when I was in Australia, and I saw the quality of him doing business process analysis, BPMN diagramming and integration design; it was a pleasure to work with him!

Steve has made a real difference during to the implementation process of Monitor CRMS for Central Goldfields Shire. His feedback has initiated several improvements in both the functional design and the customer support process. His focussed attention to detail and the understanding of both technology and its application in the Economic Development space has been a key driver in the implementation of Monitor CRMS.
Hans-Karel Foss
Head of Software Engineering, Monitor CRMS
I enjoyed very much working with Steve. He brought considerable expertise but more importantly he listened carefully and thought about the needs of our ministry before suggesting solutions. Steve constantly displayed professionalism and integrity in every aspect of his work. I have no hesitation in recommending Steve.

Architectural Mind

Knowing how things fit together is the basis of an architectural mind. With building architecture, it's materials, textures, colours etc. With business, it's business patterns, components, value flows, information concepts and more

Strategic

'out of the box' thinking is in some ways a gift. I thjink we are born with it. I'll be considering a situation and "pop!"something comes to my mind that can be quite important

People Friendly

Capabilities

Interviews

I am comfortable and productive with interviews. Interview subjects say they are comfortable talking to me, and I have repeatedly been told I am very good at interviewing staff.

Stakeholder Management

Being able to relate to, understand and negotiate with stakeholders is vital to programs and projects. Understanding the responsibilities they have, where they fit in the organisation and how they communicate is vital to operating amongst stakeholders.

Planning

I help you prioritise work according to strategic alignment, benefit, investment, risk, external depandenceis and other crieria

Methods

Methods, principles and tools are important to good consulting. Knowing how to approach a customer's need, how to analyse and document it, and how to provide value for change management are all things that occupy my mind

Frameworks

Having a basic grasp of various frameworks informs thinking. Being able to appreciate different ways of looking at things, classifying data and linking framework artifacts together provides a great boost to the usefulness of information

Notations

BPMN 2.0, UML, DMN, CMN

I am expert with BPMN 2.0. I commented on the first draft from a holistic modelling perspective. I use UML for organisation, information, event, location and other models if the tool I am using does not have in-built capabilities. I also have exposure to DMN and CMN.
