Organisational Change Implementation
We can provide specialised services for the implementation of organisational change brought about by the establishment of a public/private sector enterprise. Our senior specialists can provide an analysis of the organisations and provide targeted advice to on approaches and options to align organisational cultures and processes, planning for organisational change, and implementation of organisation change plans.
Business Optimisation
Highly complex contracts, especially collaborative arrangements, require the contracted parties to undertake numerous business processes across various organisational departments and involve documentation reviews by multiple personnel. These business processes are often duplicated across organisations, create unnecessary transactions or delays, and ultimately increase the costs across the organisations involved. Our specialist business architects, and commercial specialists can analyse the business processes, determine the areas of high transactional cost, and then develop implementable strategies to optimise your business.
Veteran Owned, First Nations, and SME Consultation Services
As an SME ourselves, we understand the challenges faced by SMEs, particularly veteran owned and First Nation suppliers. Our team can provide commercial advice on contract provisions, subcontractor flow down requirements, engaging with public sector organisations, tender proposals.
What we support
Shaping a better tomorrow together
Our aim is to create positive social outcomes by sourcing a talent and diverse team of professionals across from a wide variety of Australian communities.
We at Nautilus Advisory have personal connections to the Defence community, First Nations Peoples, people with disabilities, and rural and regional communities. Our mission, vision, and values are founded on our connectedness with our community, culture, and Country. Because of these connections, we personally understand the struggles faced by those who live in regional or remote locations, have faced statistical disadvantages as a First Nations people, encounter accessibility issues, or have struggled to return the work following separation from the armed forces.
Nautilus Advisory is proud of its reputation to deliver quality outcomes for all our customers. To achieve this, we have sourced a talented and experienced team who are passionate about what they do. We understand that the most talented and skilled professionals are not always located within metro regions or are suited to a traditional office environment. Our team is supported by a leadership team who know how to manage a diverse workforce and we support the use of remote or hybrid arrangements where necessary. We encourage our customers to see our value is in the quality of our people and their ability to deliver, not their location.
