David Puls
Organisation: Great Community Transport
Problem Statement: The organisation wanted strategy and planning services.
What we actually did: I ended up working on a retainer with the organisation over a six month period to give the organisation ongoing support at a systems and strategy level. This meant that the project scope and deliverables could change as the organisation dealt with ongoing organisation changes as a result of ongoing change in the environment.
Work included:
It's becoming more frequent that clients engage me to work with them over the longer in term. This gives them more flexibility so goals can change as things evolve, and clients pay less for more as a result.
Organisation: Mates on the Move
Problem Statement: MotM is a social enterprise undertaking furniture delivery, helping ex-prisoners to get back into the world. I was engaged to write grants.
What we actually did: MotM put me on a retainer to work with them to build the necessary bits of the business to support grants. I redrafted the business plan, changed the business model, and worked closely with and coached the service manager through implementation and a strategic alliance.

Reconciliation Action Plans
Problem Statement: Creating a reconciliation action plan that makes a difference.
What we did: I have worked with a number of businesses to engage their employees and other stakeholders on reconciliation.
Reconciliation meets no less than SIX of the UN Global Goals when done well. Let's face it, anyone can donate money to a cause, and anyone can fill out a RAP template.

Where I add value is working with your capabilities to make real, lasting change, in a way that really engages your stakeholders, and has a much better impact on your bottom line.
