Every engagement begins the same way: with a rigorous attempt to understand the actual problem, not the presenting one. The service depends on what you need. That approach never changes.
Strategic problems rarely announce themselves clearly. More often, an organisation arrives at a difficult moment — a strategy that isn't holding, a reform that isn't landing, a relationship that has stopped working — and needs someone who can help them see it clearly and act decisively.
Our work is based on experience. Every conversation, document and workshop involves someone with senior-level experience across government, consultancy or the social sector.
For organisations at an inflection point — where the current direction needs to be interrogated, not just refined. We facilitate strategic reviews, run problem definition processes, and synthesise findings into clear, decision-ready direction. The outcome is not a thick document. It is a direction your leadership can act on.
Evidence-based policy design, options analysis, or policy response — drawing on direct experience in central government and the international policy environment. Particularly relevant for organisations looking to engage with or influence government reform agendas.
Designing and facilitating meaningful engagement — structured processes that generate genuine insight and build trust, rather than ticking a compliance box. From engagement strategy through to facilitated sessions and synthesis of outcomes.
Theory of change, logic model, evaluation framework, or impact measurement approach. Practical, not academic — built to be used by your team and understood by your stakeholders.
Board effectiveness, governance structure, accountability design. For organisations whose governance has not kept pace with their growth or complexity — or where accountability pressures require a clear-eyed external assessment.
The most durable outcome of advisory work is not a document — it is an organisation that works and thinks differently. TKD advisory's capability building services are designed to change how teams approach problems, not just solve the current one.
The flagship offering. A structured half-day or full-day workshop that teaches teams to question assumptions, redefine problems from the ground up, and develop genuinely innovative solutions. Suitable for leadership teams, boards, program teams, or cross-sector groups.
Half-day or full-day format. Group size by arrangement.Facilitation of strategy days, board workshops, leadership offsites, or multi-stakeholder forums — with a strategic advisory layer built in. Not generic facilitation: the design of the session, the quality of the questions, and the synthesis of what emerges are all part of the service.
A structured capability program for practitioners in government or large non-profits. Practical, experience-grounded, and adapted to the Australian public and social sector context.
Not every challenge fits a scoped project. Sometimes what an organisation needs is a senior advisor they can call on — to pressure-test a decision, review a draft, work through a stakeholder problem, or think out loud about what comes next. The Advisory Hours package is a block of time purchased at an agreed rate, available to draw on however is most useful.
| Hours | Rate | Total | Validity | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 10 hrs | AUD $380/hr | AUD $3,800 | 3 months |
| Standard | 20 hrs | AUD $350/hr | AUD $7,000 | 3 months |
| Partner | 40 hrs | AUD $320/hr | AUD $12,800 | 6 months |
Monthly updates on hours used and remaining balance are included as standard.
The right starting point is a conversation. We'll work out together what your organisation actually needs — and whether TKD advisory is the right fit to help with it.
