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.

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.

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.

Why The Process Expert

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

I work with both business and technology strategy, and am keen to demonstrate strategic alignment of change initiatives.

Lateral Thinker

'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

I really enjoy meeting people, hearing about their personal view on organisational, process and information problems and opportunities. Getting to the bottom of things with operational staff can provide some wonderful insights

Senior Management Expertise

I am comfortable working at senior management and even board level. I have presented information and proposals that have influenced organisations a number of times over the years

Trust and Integrity

I operate on relationship, provision of value, going the extra mile, keeping close ties and building and maintaining mutual trust
