Football NSW Strategic Review Case Study

Football NSW is the biggest Australian state body for association football (soccer) and a member of the national governing body, Football Federation Australia (FFA). It is responsible for providing football services, developing players and organising elite competitions throughout most of NSW. The Board of Football NSW engaged Pacific Strategy Partners to perform a review of its strategy and governance with a view to improving organisational performance and member satisfaction.

Grant Review of Health & Medical Research - Case Study

The Australian Government commissioned a Review to examine the impact of the Wills Review on the Health & Medical Research (HMR) sector in Australia. Eight members of the Pacific Strategy team were key members of an integrated secretariat team that applied the fact based problem solving discipline to the issues confronting the Review.
