Our approach

We approach all projects with curiosity, creativity and integrity

For each project we assemble a team with the right mix of skills and experience best suited to the client’s objectives. Each team brings three key strengths to supporting a vibrant and sustainable cultural sector:

  • Deep industry experience and understanding of federal, state and local funding agencies, and the policy frameworks in which they operate

  • Expertise in analysis and review of organisations to identify challenges and translate these to opportunities, supported by rigorous financial analysis

  • Innovative and contemporary policy perspectives, inviting fresh thinking and analytical insight

All of our associates have backgrounds in each tier of government – national, state and local, combined with the capacity to draw on a history of engagement internationally. We understand organisations of differing scale, spanning national operations with an international perspective to small not-for-profit teams working at community level.

Tony knows how to work with clients to build confidence and amplify strengths, in addition to navigating the strategic and stakeholder issues of cultural entities.
He understands the inward and outward facing rigours of leadership and draws on his outstanding career to support clients in navigating the challenges and opportunities of theirs.
I can’t recommend Tony highly enough.
