As an entrepreneur, I understood the strategy I wanted the business to pursue but I wanted to make sure that the organisation I was establishing was fit for purpose. It’s not just about hiring talent people, it’s about the business structure and systems and what you want people to do rather than technology. I really enjoyed working with Chris who had multiple tools and models to support the design of the organisational culture and architecture to deliver on the strategy. I recommend the process to any business owner or leader to ensure you can deliver your strategy.

This world leading trial relied on the development of brand new capabilities at a scale not yet attempted by our team. Futureprojex partnered with us to undertake detailed project scoping and implementation planning and set up an ‘agile’ delivery model which included new technology development skills sets. The new operating model we established to deliver this project is still being used successfully to deliver our award winning ‘Future Networks’ innovation program.

Engaging Chris was one of the smartest decisions our organisation has ever made. Their step-by-step change strategy was designed to be implemented not by Chris and his team, but by our own. This empowered and galvanised our staff and resulted in a supercharged lift of our business.
