"Congratulations on the splendid facilitation of the ACT 2020 Summit. While I had some reservations knowing how easily it could have gone off the rails, the day went so well, due to the excellent spirit and participation. Much of that was due to the expertise, good humour and skill of your team, which makes it impossible for participants not to behave and participate."

Tempo Strategy and Review
Strategy is about understanding how you’re going to succeed in your market or sector as well as about planning and mapping a route to your goals. We work with Boards, CEOs, senior executives and managers to develop the strategic direction for their enterprise and engage their stakeholders, staff and clients. In many cases, organisations need to reassess their business model, governance arrangements and their capability to meet the needs of future.
Our skill is to enable the client to focus. By clarifying, probing, supporting and synthesising we enable them to determine directions, choices and how to direct capabilities towards the goals they want and the change they need.
Case study
Strategy for NRMA
Working with a new Chair, Tempo assisted the Board to forge a coherent, shared strategy for growth after a period of instability and factionalism. We assisted the CEO and the top team to develop the statement of strategic intent and enabled the Board to come to agreement about how it should oversight strategy and develop its Board protocols. NRMA has successfully repositioned as both a Member Services organisation and increasingly as a major player in NSW’s emerging infrastructure agenda.
Australian Health Information Council
The Australian Health Information Council reports to the Commonwealth and State Health Ministers and provides independent advice on long-term directions and national strategic reform issues for information management and information and communication technology in health. In our reviews of the last two terms of the Council, we assessed the appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency of the Council’s work and provided strategic advice to assist it to meet its objectives and position itself in the rapidly changing e-Health environment. Our review methodology included close consultation with members of the Council, State and Territory health departments and other key stakeholders.
Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry
Our review of the Department’s middle management development program included consultations with senior executive, participants and peers, and a 360 feedback survey of program participants, to assess the value and effectiveness of the Department’s investment in developing the leadership and management capability of its middle management. Our review identified the key learning outcomes and directions which will inform the design of future leadership and management development programs, as well as areas where the Department can enhance its approach to staff development and support.
