Kristy A. Bennett’s Summary

Serial business starter and strategic business consultant. I work only to be the person who is not 'stuck in the business of business' to bring a thorough, holistic analysis of corporate strategy and business operations. Working with CEOs and appropriately nominated direct line staff I can assist in the development and innovation of strategic plans to optimise both the business' market profitability and the ability to handle the associated workload across the organisation.

I also love 'interesting' projects that require innovative thought to achieve a set of positive business outcomes. From PR disasters to corporate knowledge loss from staff attrition I can help develop solutions, both in the interim and the long term future.

At the end of the day my success is in seeing your business operate to the best of it's ability within your industry.

Motto: view holistically - strategise ambitiously - initiate innovation - be the best

**Afternotes:
As a general rule, I work with no business for more than a 12 month engagement and can only be drawn back if the card you pull is particularly interesting and even then it would be short term only. My job is to help your executive staff bring positive change about quickly with full consideration of the corporate culture.

I have a short attention span for business development concerns and their is no time like the present to get them sorted out so you can forge ahead - I do not want to be stuck in 6 months of meetings to identify whether there *really is* an issue and another 6 discussing the extent of the issue.

Kristy A. Bennett’s Specialties:

Holistic analysis - business operations, communications, strategy application success;
Strategic development - in marketing, internal profiling, and business operations management;
Innovation muse - bringing innovation out from the core of your organisation - your people and identifying ways to both foster and implement innovation in the workplace.
