Annual Report Writing
Organisations are often looking for assistance to write annual reports at
this time of year. With experience in writing annual reports for Local
Government, Hospitals and Victoria Police Mediation Resolutions is well
positioned to provide this service working in collaboration with
departments across your organisation.
Continuous Improvement Projects
Working in collaboration with the team of a specific department this involves mapping existing processes and identifying and documenting recommendations for efficiencies and improvements. This is an ideal service to outsource as pressing operational requirements sometimes limit internal capacity to deliver on this.
Risk Appetite Development & Review
An organisation’s Risk Appetite development or review is prepared in consultation with key team members. It is deigned to be an easy to read and meaningful reference to inform competing organisational decisions and priorities.
Procurement Review
A procurement review involves an assessment of existing practices against compliance, sustainability and ESG principles and includes recommendations for further development in relation to best practice standards.
Dispute Resolution/Mediation
Mediation and facilitated conversations provide an effective form of early intervention, enabling those involved to better understand each other’s needs and to develop creative solutions while maintaining an ongoing professional relationship. This is ideal for early intervention in workplace and business disputes.
Policy & Procedure Development & Review
Policy and procedure reviews and development may focus on a specific area or may involve a strategic review focused on the needs of the organisation and best practice.
Interim Leadership
Interim executive leadership services are available and are ideal for continuity of operations during periods of recruitment or unplanned absences.
Facilitation
Group facilitation is delivered to support strategic plans, business plans, organisational reviews and project planning.
Other governance services are available and can be developed to meet specific needs. Examples include cyber security review against the NIST Framework in consultation with key staff, funding applications and acquittals, governance framework review and organisational cultural development programs.
How to get started
Let’s begin with a conversation to identify the services that best meet your needs.
From there, I’ll work with you to define the scope of delivery and provide a detailed proposal outlining fees, milestones and deliverables. Once agreed, we’ll schedule an initial planning meeting and move into implementation.
