Business Consulting & Advisory Services
Our business advisory services provide the expert support and guidance you need to overcome obstacles and unlock your business potential.
About Us
The PMO was established in 2005 to deliver superior programme level services, specifically in the online retail space, and we soon became known for our practical, hands-on approach and straightforward feedback focused on outcomes, not models and meetings.
More recently we have been involved in governance, business improvement, exit strategies and strategic change programmes as clients look to where their future success will come from.
PEOPLE
Our consultants are certified and/or accredited with relevant industry bodies to ensure we conduct a professional public practice and bring proven methods and processes from the best companies around the world.
By making us part of your team, you are tapping into a bank of knowledge usually only available in large companies – we have experience in why and, often more importantly, how these successful companies stay ahead of the competition and can help you to sort out what you need to achieve your growth plans.
PROCESS
The four key factors for success when implementing change within an organisation are:
- Pressure for change – demonstrated management commitment is essential.
- A clear, shared vision – you must bring everyone with you.
- Capacity for change – provide the resources to ensure things stick.
- Action and measurement – “Plan – Do – Check – Act” and keep the communication channels open.
RESULTS
Things Change.
…it’s never been more true – but that doesn’t mean you need to let change drive your business – instead you can direct the changes where you need them most to achieve your business goals.
We can take you through a simple 7 step worksheet-based process for building a simple business plan and creating a roadmap which will guide you towards achieving your goals.

STRATEGIES FOR GROWTH
Businesses don't typically grow in a linear fashion and at times it can be helpful to have fresh eyes to identify the common problems that will undermine your attempts at growing your business and to work with you to map out the available options.
- What are the long term growth goals - articulate the vision
- Actions linked to a clear strategy
- Effective leadership with clearly defined roles & responsibilities
- Start and end with measurement - create an objective "diagnostic" to ensure your efforts are having an impact and delivering positive ROI

BUSINESS PLANNING
“The Plan” forms the most essential tool to guide your business into the future, but things are moving far too rapidly these days and putting your plan down on paper just seems like too much hard work when you know it won’t be relevant in a few months’ time anyway.
...you still need a plan – it should be concise, action-focussed, and only include things you need to know, totally aimed at helping you reach your goals. Its job is to help you focus on what’s important NOW and then provide a way to measure progress and make adjustments along the way.
We can take you through a straightforward 7 step worksheet-based process for building a simple business plan and creating a roadmap which will guide you towards achieving your goals.
PROJECT GOVERNANCE
No matter how good your strategy is, only its effective implementation really matters - however, studies indicate that only 12% of companies execute their strategies successfully. This is an alarming fact given that unsuccessful implementation can waste resources, demotivate staff, damage credibility, and lower profitability.
Project governance boosts success rates by offering direction, structure, and efficient mechanisms, regardless of implementation level. It enables effective management, clear objectives, streamlined decision-making, and improved outcomes. By tailoring project governance to your organization's needs, you can harness its benefits and optimize project performance.

WHAT'S YOUR DIGITAL STRATEGY?
Digital transformation is hard.
It’s urgent, often expensive, it’s frequently not a clear path, and the commercial world is littered with carcasses of failed attempts. It relies on clarity of scope, people, and technology all coming together.
...but not going through a digital transformation drives up technology costs, creates substantial inefficiency and doesn’t enable appropriate customer engagement and delivery.
The PMO can help explain how a best practice advisory board can support your digital transformation journey as well as leverage our experience across technology strategy and delivery, data management, platform implementation and managed cloud services.
Our Clients
Our clients include major names in the consumer goods and online retail sectors across Australia and New Zealand, where we have provided services from Board support, interim management, change leadership and process implementation through to delivery of systems integration projects.
Where required we work in partnership with your incumbent suppliers or other professional services firms and creative agencies to deliver the complete solution.
The first time I had need of your services was to move our hair care company from the plateau it was firmly anchored to. You were initially hired to find a strategy that would get us growing again. Sounds simple, but to do this you had to orchestrate a complex number of interlocking actions. You needed to get us to identify radically different products that would attract new customers and open up new categories with our existing customers. You then needed to get the founders of the company to realise that entrepreneurial skills weren’t the same as management skills and that they needed to hand over the reins to an experienced manager. And then you had to find one that they would accept. Quite a cocktail, but the day that you were appointed interim manager was the day our small hair care plateau became a real growth story to the major Australasian hair and body care company we are today.
In doing this, you had to deal with a Board and Management that wasn't united, but your open and honest approach to all of the difficult questions won over all of the participants and made a team approach to success possible. I guess with the breadth of your experience and the people skills you have, your clients can be confident that by employing you, the road to success, small or large, has begun..
