Independent specialists in scheduling systems, resource management and institutional transformation across Australian and New Zealand higher education..
Executive Support
Executives won't approve what they can't clearly see. We build business cases that capture hearts and minds.
How we do it →Future State
Transformation stalls without a compelling, credible vision. We design target environments that decision-makers can see and fund.

Legacy platforms, poor data quality and fragmented processes are limiting what's possible. We know how to move forward.

Our clients are more successful improving scheduling and resource management because we provide them with Clear Vision of their future state — and how to get there.
Not vague aspiration. A well-defined target environment, a credible roadmap, a funded business case, and confidence in delivery.
We work with the full range of institutional leaders across Australian and New Zealand universities. Select your role to see the challenges we understand and the outcomes we deliver.
Seven interconnected service areas, all in service of one goal: giving your institution Clear Vision.
01
Better Business Case development, strategic options analysis, investment planning and executive communications. All business cases we have presented this century have won executive support and resources.
02
Future-state environment design, integration architecture and data design — giving executives a clear picture of where you are going and how the pieces fit together.
03
Scheduling data is often the hidden constraint on transformation. We assess your current data, identify gaps, and define a target data architecture — because garbage in means gospel out.
04
Vendor-agnostic RFP development, market assessment and vendor evaluation. We work with TimeEdit, TechnologyOne, JDR Software and the broader market.
05
Project establishment, governance, quality assurance and change management — the discipline that turns approved business cases into delivered outcomes.
06
Process redesign, operating model alignment and simplification — removing the manual workarounds that mask system limitations and constrain what's possible.
07
End-to-end scheduling transformation — from curriculum planning through resource allocation, publication, student allocation and timetable delivery.
Executives won't approve what they can't clearly see. A vague business case — however well-intentioned — will stall at governance. We develop Better Business Cases using the New Zealand Treasury's proven Five Case Model, giving decision-makers Clear Vision of the future state, the options considered, the costs and risks, and the confidence that delivery is achievable.
All business cases I have presented this century have won executive support and resources.
