As an independent outside view, we can also assist in negotiating an outcome when divergent views are held by members of the group and emotions are invested to move forward and find productive solutions.

Organisational Development

We can work with you to audit your business/organisation to identify and mitigate risks, re-design and optimise business processes, identify niche markets, and build in innovation practices for tomorrow.

CommCorp Consulting has supported organisations in the NFP, commercial and public sectors to work through issues, risks and opportunities arising from the dynamic environments within which they operate.

We can help you evaluate whether partnering, merging or expanding is the right option for you.

We have extensive experience in both the Not For Profit and public sector in mediation services.

Team Building and other HR Services

Do you need support to review your HR profile against current and future needs? Are you up-to-date with your employee job descriptions, contracts, performance management systems, and policy manuals?

We can assist you in reviewing and developing your HR systems and processes to enable you to meet industry standards.

We can also assist with recruitment processes and ensure that you hire the right person for the job. CommCorp Consulting has experience working with unions and staff to negotiate new workplace agreements and/or address grievances toward acceptable settlements.

Evaluation & Research

Good practice includes evaluating and reflecting on what is and isn’t working. We can assist you with designing and undertaking program and project evaluation to demonstrate the effectiveness and/or efficiency of what you are doing.

Good evaluation can provide the foundation for your business case for more and better funding for the future.

We also can undertake research to answer a variety of business questions such as –

  • Who are my most direct competitors?
  • What are other organisations like mine doing that may be applicable to my business and could improve my outcomes?
  • Where could we expand into new or niche markets? are there potential partnerships that could assist with our bottom line? 
  • What are other pertinent needs of the communities that we operate in?

It has often been said that 'what is important is worth measuring' and we can help you streamline and analyse what you measure to minimise the impact on staff time, while ensuring you have what it takes to build your business case.

Set-up Services

Are you needing to set up a new service or expanding the one you have?

We can work with you to:

  • recruit staff
  • set in place processes and infrastructure quickly to start your new venture on a solid foundation

This helps:

  • minimise the risks of poor staff culture
  • failing to meet OH&S requirements, or
  • choosing the wrong location.

We have undertaken place-based planning, working across government departments.

We look forward to challenge and working with you.

About CommCorp Consulting

CommCorp Consulting has worked primarily in the Not-for-Profit sector for over 20 years. Its primary consultant, Glenda Stanislaw, provided training services for the Victorian Government's Department of Human Services and expanded to undertake research and evaluation of government funded programs.

More recently, work has expanded into the commercial sectors, working with Boards and Senior Management to:

  • re-organise work processes;
  • identify and audit risks;
  • recruit, train, and mentor key staff; and
  • provide 'start-up' services resulting in comprehensive new ventures.

We specialise in strategic planning processes, working with organisations to identify unrealised potential – identifying where niche markets and key partnering potential might exist for expansion.

We draw on our international experience of working in developing countries to 'look outside' of traditional silos and pathways to develop real innovation – Innovation that helps staff think differently about the 'how' and 'why' of what they do, irrespective of the part that they play within the organisation.

Innovation is institutionalised within structures that support staff engagement and productivity.

CommCorp Consulting has the expertise to assist with issues of governance, finances, human resources, and audit/research/evaluation.

We specialise in small to medium teams, units or organisations requiring an intensive look at an issue or area.

We work with you to achieve your goals, providing the skills to support you in moving forward – tailoring an approach that suits you.
