Sector knowledge ensures advice fits the company situation

Sector knowledge ensures that advice given fits the operating environment

Primary industry, manufacturing, retail, energy, professional services, F&B and construction (to name a few) are industry sectors which I have indepth understanding of.  Many of my clients in fact are unaware that I also have specialist knowledge outside of their sector, such is the depth of involvement I have within their industry.

 

The benefit of working across sectors or industries is that I get to see first hand what works in one sector and can be applied in another. As such, I have been the instigator in establishing best practice methodologies adopted from one sector into another.

The irony is that some of the most disparate industries so often actually have much in common. The Energy Sector has many similarities to the Indigenous Sector, the Hospitality Sector shares hallmarks with the Printing Industry, Primary Industry shares similar structures to Non Bank Lenders by way of example.

Retail, lines, generation, smart meters and renewables.  Strategic, operational and client facing.

Store location & layout, merchandising strategies, advertising, media negotiations, sales training.

Franchise and cooperative models have real strengths.  Unfortunately they also have inherent weaknesses.

Accountants, mortgage & insurance, financial planners & institutions, IT providers & researchers....

Core competencies, areas for outsourcing, reviewing if the product is fit for market.

Agriculture, horticulture, silviculture, viticulture, aquaculture & the downstream processing & market channel.

There is often a disconnect between the timelines and budget of The Business and those of the IT Project Team.

Group Home Builders, kitchen and bathroom renovating companies, and developers...
