Our advisory work spans strategy development, business model design, organisational performance and funding strategy. The examples below highlight the types of challenges we help organisations solve and the practical outcomes achieved through our support.
Strategic review and organisational direction
Government and Stakeholder Engagement Strategy
We completed a strategic review for a national service organisation seeking to clarify its purpose, strengthen its business model and prepare for multi year growth. The engagement involved analysing operational capability, reviewing programs and services, and designing a new strategic direction supported by clear priorities, goals and performance measures.
​
The recommendations helped the organisation reposition its value proposition, realign resources to its highest-impact work and establish the foundations for a new three year strategy. The work also strengthened governance and improved executive decision making through enhanced planning and reporting frameworks.
​
Outcomes included:
-
clearer organisational direction
-
refined business model
-
improved performance insights
-
strengthened leadership alignment
We supported a peak body to design and deliver a targeted government engagement and advocacy strategy aligned to emerging policy priorities. The engagement included strategic positioning, stakeholder mapping, consultation planning and development of high-impact briefing material.
​
This work strengthened the organisation’s capability to communicate priorities, influence decision makers and participate meaningfully in policy development. It also contributed to increased visibility and recognition of the organisation’s leadership role within the sector.
​
Outcomes included:
-
improved advocacy strategy
-
stronger relationships with government

Financial sustainability and business model strengthening
We worked with a service organisation facing significant financial pressure to identify sustainability opportunities, strengthen internal financial processes and improve long term resilience. This involved modelling future scenarios, reviewing service costs, analysing revenue pathways and advising on resource realignment.
​
By mid-year, the organisation had significantly reduced its projected deficit through operational efficiency measures and new revenue opportunities identified through our advisory support. We also strengthened financial literacy within the leadership team and improved their capacity to monitor and respond to emerging risks.
​
Outcomes included:
-
reduced deficit and improved financial stability
-
stronger financial governance
-
clearer business model structure
-
enhanced leadership capability
Funding and Investment Strategy
We collaborated with a client to develop a multi year funding and investment strategy aligned to their long term strategic goals. This included program design, outcomes measurement frameworks, budget development and preparation of a major funding submission.
​
The resulting submission was successful, securing multi year funding that enabled the organisation to expand programs, strengthen service delivery capability and invest in long term organisational growth. SynergyWorks continues to provide advisory support to enhance implementation and performance measurement.
​
Outcomes included:

multi year funding secured
