We work with the best marine scientists, marine veterinarians and marine biologists in Australia. They are all behind the scenes and 100% supportive of our model. You'll get to meet them. We are funded by the private sector and by some amazing people who believe the environment deserves better than lame ideologically driven science. OR no science at all. Take marine parks as an example! For way too long science has been controlled by Government. It's a pre-meditated strategy. The system controls the process, the narrative and the outcome, by first controlling the money. This explains why amazing scientists are reluctant to speak out. They fear not only upsetting their peers who, let's be honest, are captured by the public purse, but fear ruining the financial viability of their own careers. That stops with us! Our scientists design the programs, undertake the research BUT ....we deliver the message. When asked three weeks ago by the West Australian Newspaper's Senior Political Journalist, Jessica Page, if we would sit down with the WA Premier Roger Cook to discuss the demersal fishing ban, we said NO. (that's on the public record btw). We'd prefer to do the research properly. We'll prove, the science will prove, Roger Cook got this VERY VERY wrong. Once we do that, the question won't be: "...will you sit down with Roger." The question more importantly will be: "...will Roger sit down with us?" It's time for change people. Reach out if you'd like to know more.

Why are businesses constantly fighting for survival, under both major parties? In Tasmania the Government is seeking to treat micro-farmers with 2 hectares or less - who grow the most amazing fresh and safe produce for their community - THE SAME as large scale operations that are owned by wealthy foreign investors. Tasmanian's have a rich history of driving country roads and grabbing the finest produce from stalls and markets. I know: I grew up in Geeveston. And yet, here we have a sneaky regulatory review process that seeks to force micro-farmers to comply with the same regulatory environment as large foreign owned producers. Yes food safety is important. But as it's been proven, the concerns raised by the Department to substantiate the review, were NOT caused by micro farmers at all. The concerns were linked to 'large-scale' operations and 'imports'. The Government agreed to include in the consultation paper, a proposed Tiered Model. They reneged on that promise. It was sneaky and it was unfair. It has left small micro-farmers with an uncertain future. Moreover, the 'solutions' proposed by the Department are not evidenced based, proportionate to the risks, or practical. And, what trust was there with farmers, has now been unnecessarily eroded by the Department. On many fronts Tasmania risks losing something no other jurisdiction has: locational advantage. Tasmania is unique. Unique = value. The policy solution to this issue is easy: educate, work with, build relationships and develop a tiered model that values 'micro-producers' who farm on 2 hectares or less. ATM the Department is asking industry to wait: while they read the submissions. Again it's unfair. Gavin Pearce (The Minister) simply needs to come out and clearly argue a tiered model is the model that will be implemented. Ease concerns and work with this amazing sector to find and implement solutions. We are all tired of needing to fight for our survival. And this is an easy fix. https://www.smea.com.au/blog/2022/1/11/drinkmakers-australia-mc6nc-gl3hn-574c9-yjnw7-f7y3l monthly 0.5 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/b820606d-344d-48dc-9361-16a4c2c7d644/Executive+Chef+Club1.jpg NEWS - Powerful Executive Chef Club sends a clear message about who owns the ocean - Make it stand out Absolutely thrilled to have the powerful Executive Chef Club join the Marine Futures Alliance of Australia. Many people may not be aware, but the Cook Labor Government in Western Australia, only four weeks ago closed 900km of coastline to fishing. The decision is the purest example of policy failure you will see. The decision categorically proves marine parks have failed. But why? WA already has 2.5 million hectares of Ocean - in State waters (beach to 3 nautical mile mark) dedicated to marine parks, 21 State marine parks. Add to this 13 Commonwealth marine parks in WA alone. And now the WA Government closes an additional 900km of coastline to fishing and 'buys out' every fisher! The level of scientific and policy failure is off the chart. But there is one salient message from this, for all governments and even the opposition: STOP using marine bio-regional planning as a morbid political strategy to suck the oxygen out of the environmental lobby. It's dumb politics and it's dumb policy! The ocean is owned by us all. Fish stocks, industry, communities and consumers deserve better.

The Policy Cycle Policy - or public policy - is essentially the art of politics. Policy is everywhere whether we like it or not. If you wish to export globally you will come up against a bunch of policy hurdles and regulations. These hurdles may be price driven - tariffs - or volume driven - volume based trade barriers. With protracted negotiations around the TPP and tensions between countries like the USA, Canada and China you don't want to get involved. Understanding the 'geo-political' environment before you make any major business decisions is managing policy risk and it makes sense. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1558598527103-P0LGMKG5CHH3BQLZMMI6/image-asset.jpeg Sports Program - Managing Policy Risk The first place to start is to first understand the nature of the risk you potentially face, strategic hurdles and how best to manipulate the situation to give you an advantage. We work with companies in this space daily so reach out if you’d like more information. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1558596516834-2LMKDS96OSDHUDPNV9JI/318-41262.jpg Sports Program - Institutional Risk Whether we like it or not institutions like government agencies, pull the levers that affect business on a daily basis. Whilst they take advice from elected officials they wield significant discretionary power in terms of the application of policy. Engaging with government institutions is as much about policy timing, as it is execution. We find businesses who can’t afford full-time lobbyists often engage the policy cycle at the wrong time. If you’ve heard about it in the newspaper then it’s probably too late. Strong analysis, intelligence and risk matrix profiling is crucial to you making good decisions and securing the outcomes you need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1558598591619-2MGAX1JB771C31YGA4YD/image-asset.jpeg Sports Program - Market Players There are a raft of additional players, outside of your direct competitors, that impact the policy cycle and that could pose an investment risk to your business. Take for example a current client. They have a very clever ‘Air bnb’ primary production business model. It’s a disruptive concept with a massive up-side, BUT it will be crucial for them to understand and engage with the environmental non-government organisation (ENGO) sector prior to a very public and global launch. Our role is two fold: 1. Undertake an ENGO risk profile for the client, and; 2. Prepare an engagement strategy to ensure key ENGOs are across the brief early without compromising the companies IP and launch strategy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1558596570377-Q8JCH3U7D7T4V4SCFAJ7/image-asset.jpeg Sports Program - Fourth Estate - Media We appreciate the 4th estate - media - may not pose a risk for some businesses but for those businesses who experience real policy exposure, you can almost guarantee some level of media attention will come your way. The key in our view is to be proactive - manage the media well before an issue becomes a strategic problem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1558596756243-JJ9KL8V3HA3TXEEREX4E/image-asset.jpeg Sports Program - Agenda Setting Part of the process of managing policy risk is actually engaging in such a way that you set the agenda. When we say 'set the agenda' we don't mean providing commentary for the sake of just wanting to be heard, we are referring to developing a PR strategy that works with and respects the policy cycle to achieve a desired outcome. Some of the media outlets we've worked with to deliver for clients are below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1647313396614-2M0E7PGMVT9K842XJJCF/unsplash-image-2EHRBs1gefY.jpg Sports Program - Emission Standards We were engaged by some of the worlds most respected engine manufacturers to support the implementation of an emissions framework in Australia for spark driven engines compliant with USA EPA Regulations. We chaired meetings between manufacturers and secured Federal Ministerial exemptions for Surf Life Saving Australia, the Australian Defence Force and Remote use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1647313745238-71BY78J6Z3USNRJ0OSRZ/Indigneous+Girls.jpg Sports Program - Indigenous NGO We raised $9.5M for an Indigenous drug and alcohol facility delivering outcomes few could achieve, through a joint funding arrangement between the Federal and Queensland State Government. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1647316924162-XQW4Q835W7DUH8E5TL71/unsplash-image-J3ABLQjZQBg.jpg Sports Program - Marine Bio-Regional Planning Over the space of 15 years we worked with scientists and marine specialists to present a more robust scientific approach to marine bio-regional planning. Key to this was to represent and bring global manufactures with us, on a journey to design better solutions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1588730164090-E5YFYLDJ6LP6NXK7IS8T/arpi_logo02.jpg Sports Program - Australian Risk Policy Institute SMEA CEO Dean Logan is an Associate and previous Vice Chair of ARPI. ARPI as convenor of the Global Risk Policy Network (GRPN) proudly announced recently a partnership with The Brenva Institute in the United States, a global think-tank focusing on strategic leadership. SMEA has helped ARPI develop marketing material to expand the organisations foot-print as a trusted adviser globally.

A few years back the Federal Minister for Agriculture was pushing hard for the decentralisation of a number of commonwealth agencies - RIRDC, FRDC, APVMA - to ensure more bureaucrats were stationed in regional Australia. The decision in theory sounds reasonable, but is it? The issue is now back on the agenda with the break-up of the MDBA. Farmers are torn on the decision arguing it leads to higher costs and increased duplication. Many also argue they don’t receive the best and brightest policy makers out in the bush but rather those Canberra don’t want. There is a massive difference between departments and that’s made even harder when agencies like the APVMA are regulatory in nature. What are the facts and how have previous decisions around decentralisation gone.

A few years back the Federal Minister for Agriculture Barnaby Joyce was pushing hard for the decentralisation of a number of commonwealth agencies - RIRDC, FRDC, APVMA - to ensure more bureaucrats were stationed in regional Australia. The decision in theory sounded reasonable, but was it? Farmers were torn on the decision arguing it would lead potentially to higher costs and increased duplication. Others suggested having regulators closer to regional Australia made sense. Regardless of ‘opinion’ did it make policy sense? For some agencies yes, for others no.

SMEs are dog deep in their business - we get it - but with an ever increasing list of high quality non-bank lenders in the market, SMEs have the best chance in a long while to UNLEASH their potential. Our advice - Don’t ask if you are not ready. Our aim is to do the heavy lifting and get you PREPARED before you ask the question. It makes sense for both you and the lender and it doesn't cost an arm or a leg. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1553042999042-VOBTFCHGE55QVBVIW8YN/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1553047855455-5QUDM2OTLR6T0KJSHHX8/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1556252480684-H1TI075S61K4783BS634/SMEA+Consulting+Promo+1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1767948542923-0DFB4PCQD516A87VSYZI/unsplash-image-Dwheufds6kQ.jpg https://www.smea.com.au/cafe-hospitality daily 0.75 2019-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1553035717284-OOGU3KZRPEL2H7MKL7VY/image-asset.jpeg Cafe & Hospitality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1553036301313-2803WDO86VNQHK081K2P/image-asset.jpeg Cafe & Hospitality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1553036454988-WO276BDZ5G6BUBJKC2M6/image-asset.jpeg Cafe & Hospitality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1555479139235-1EJHVCS45TIP0FLKD4RA/OrderBoom.png Cafe & Hospitality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1555479614932-JO1X2RVB27PNR77I1D1C/OrderBoom+2.png Cafe & Hospitality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1553036301313-2803WDO86VNQHK081K2P/image-asset.jpeg Cafe & Hospitality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1553036454988-WO276BDZ5G6BUBJKC2M6/image-asset.jpeg Cafe & Hospitality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1555479139235-1EJHVCS45TIP0FLKD4RA/OrderBoom.png Cafe & Hospitality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1555479614932-JO1X2RVB27PNR77I1D1C/OrderBoom+2.png Cafe & Hospitality https://www.smea.com.au/technology daily 0.75 2019-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1553049296679-E8N06IKN9L5KDEXMNEJA/image-asset.jpeg Technology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1553049908623-54J34T6QURZ99459YY5H/image-asset.jpeg Technology - An Innovation in Conference Calling We’ve all been in those conference calls that jamb and struggle because each member is on a different device and then the larger dedicated conference platforms are just way too expensive.

The USA model was used because it’s the largest market and with Australia representing 6% of global sales, it made no sense to force global manufacturers to produce a product specifically for Australia. The concept phased out dirty two-stroke technology ,so therefore rewarded global manufactures who were spending hundreds of millions of dollars on R&D. Our role was to help shape policy. We also briefed the Federal Minister and secured Ministerial exemptions for Surf Life Saving Australia, Defence and remote / Indigenous communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1613018127709-915C433HXZK19E01QGGN/Save+the+Quad+Bike.jpg Manufacturing - Quad bikes and OPDs The Morrison Government tabled a standard in federal parliament forcing every manufacturer in the world to fit an Operator Protection Device (OPD) to brand new quad bikes. No other jurisdiction in the world does this so Honda, Yamaha, Polaris, BRP, CanAm and Suzuki left Australia. The lack of policy vision was extraordinary. What are some of the challenges with the decision: - The Government refused to undertake a Regulatory Impact Assessment to quantify the social and economic ramifications of the decision. - Dealers across Australia overnight lost in excess of 40-70% of their revenue. - The legislation mandated OPDs and yet did so without asking manufacturers of OPDs to comply with a technical specification an Australian standard, or manufacturing standard. - The legislation took away the right farmers have to choose to fit an OPD or not based on safety and risk. For example, across some sectors the OPD is actually deemed to be more dangerous if fitted. - The legislation applies to only new quad bikes sold, so does not apply to over 700,000 second hand quads in the market across the country. POLICY SOLUTION The solution is very simple. Remove the word ‘mandatory’ from the legislation giving users and farmers the right to fit an OPD or not base don application. Secondly, ensure that all OPDs sold in Australia are built to a manufacturing standard and or a technical specification. Doing so is argued to sell more OPDs and deliver a greater safety outcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1650354413078-IQ6NNL6EHUEV49NOW2EU/unsplash-image-IzdkOMvyZAk.jpg Manufacturing - Emission Regulations The likes of Honda engaged SMEA to support efforts to bring Australia into the 21st century with an emission framework for spark driven engines that married with USA EPA 2012 Regulations.

No one is that good. That’s why, regardless of the size of the contract, we overlay a project management framework across the entire change management piece. And it works. Think about a complex civil project. To succeed the project requires a lead project manager - that’s us - and a team of specialists that deliver a raft of services from civil engineering, legal, earthmoving, surveying, concrete, electrical, structural steel, through to IT solutions. It makes no sense hiring these specialists individually and without a cohesive engagement plan and expecting to deliver the project on time and on budget. That’s why strategy and collaboration is the key. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1685941939481-N54GACBHETATIY86RZL3/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Change+Management Change Management - Change is Positive Change management should not be seen in the same terms as crisis management. Change SHOULD be viewed as an ongoing and positive commitment to being a better version of yourself today, tomorrow. Change keeps you on your toes and competitive. Change is just another way of positively EVOLVING. Elite athletes adopt a change management approach to everything they do. They set a foundation and are always adapting to maintain a competitive edge. They evolve their training ALL THE TIME. But in doing so, they are always positively moving forward and being a better version of themselves each and every day. Business should be no different. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/0a2acee8-89d0-4c27-90b3-6888ffc8f7cd/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Change+Management Change Management - Manufacturing We were recently engaged by Walshs Glass to implement a business transformation strategy. Walshs Glass is the largest flat glass processor and distributor of glass in WA. Part of this process was supporting Walshs implement a $7.5M capital upgrade with the world leading Austrian firm, LiSEC. Working with an amazing team we successfully supported the implementation of the most efficient vertical standing glass cutting machine - SplitFin - in the world.

SSL was a complex entity and yet had lost it’s way after 27 years of operation. With six powerful divisions, SSL was considered an industry success story. We successfully restructured divisions like architectural design, accounting and project management, whilst establishing a culture employees wanted to be apart of. We loved our time in sunny Nelson, rebuilding a national kiwi icon and wish SSL every success into the future https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1685941939481-N54GACBHETATIY86RZL3/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Change+Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1685937487031-4JT791XWYJ2P4V5LGRXD/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Change+Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1754543350617-6YE6ULUUTI76XLIFPL8A/unsplash-image-gD1HU_XU5aE.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1754543024440-RAA39455864LVUSU69EW/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/0a2acee8-89d0-4c27-90b3-6888ffc8f7cd/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Change+Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1565405467624-DHH650KYR7QOMBLXQHBC/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Change+Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1687678092536-K40I4X4SFOOBUNOXSGXH/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Change+Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1754542805360-4BT193ELG9M74VFTIF9L/unsplash-image-Sd9A6NVHsd4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1754542876581-4P192IEDQN3P5MXM9B57/unsplash-image-93s6ATWRwm0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1685940415492-N80GDLBJTSU3B9X9A7QF/download.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1641182785085-1IFPQGJUY1RDWNJFEL6G/SouthernCrossLogo.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1631065926954-2RWV3NC75KHJEHJBKP2B/images.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1565402963211-C3C0B1SH6KQ4LO6SQBUK/nza-logo%402x.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1685941629708-PGGOGZZE6J9XMWX6XSVQ/download-1.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1588729864536-MUTK5L94IKU0TOLYYAU1/headerlogo.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1581918910394-YB6YBJCJK8E8E6ZHLJ91/download-1.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1565422838597-OBZZJT9JLT1OQJ3BIDXW/20170213HEY+Omega.jpg Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1555479139235-1EJHVCS45TIP0FLKD4RA/OrderBoom.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1685941597642-WE7F9R0AGMADOOX40MY2/download.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1685941665191-7EERZSZ4RV9TR9SVRA5I/download-2.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1687678183971-X3GW5V1AHBIHDY6P8KLZ/download-4.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1736745090382-F3XFSA6ORKATGI2EEQH2/download-2.jpg Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1753864556439-W9QLB2TQ3ALIXA006F7M/TREAD+OUTDOORS+%28Black%29.png Change Management https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1754544084253-7CHWSI3XI0BW83TZGHKV/unsplash-image-RjgruH2TSA4.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1754544149008-L83AEPJKWYXI4PCNGE4G/unsplash-image-kb-ck1Y-KtY.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1754544194043-FDSJ9WUOB1LND6YDXRNQ/unsplash-image-MbG7kwWptII.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1754544247290-FARCQ3PA1NBL5EG0PZGZ/unsplash-image-Dwheufds6kQ.jpg https://www.smea.com.au/ngo-support daily 0.75 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1636597638152-TGH6P1979SYQOHDXXSG1/unsplash-image-F98Mv9O6LfI.jpg NGO Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1750124995905-96Y2KH5QVPT5E4HF8MYD/unsplash-image-K0c8ko3e6AA.jpg NGO Support - Executive Support As leaders in a highly complex and often policy driven environment, we can find it hard to secure independent mentors and executive support that understands the market and the pressures we are under. Linked with our ASPIRE Executive Mentoring arm, we tailor our packages to suit you, your specific market and your unique pressures and requirements. We appreciate having someone by your side confidentially is crucial, not only to the success of your organisation, but your own health and wellbeing. So on this basis you determine what the program looks like, who you work with, the time frame and model. In essence, you tell us how best to support you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/03a7c765-9f14-4a5c-a938-faadda61e2a8/AdobeStock_356157200.jpeg NGO Support - Cultural Training We partner with Cultural Wayfinder to deliver employers, industry leaders, government agencies, and tertiary institutions a tailored offering. The goal is to define what genuine cultural capability looks like, and to design workplace environments where First Nations staff can thrive, contribute, and lead. We recognise that many organisations are committed to advancing reconciliation and inclusion, but often feel overwhelmed by the complexity, regulatory demands, and cultural nuances involved. Through our partner Cultural Wayfinder we provide a structured, culturally safe pathway for organisations to engage meaningfully—reducing intimidation, overcoming fear of error, and making cultural engagement accessible, strategic, and sustainable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/962477d2-cd90-4871-9577-7d286ae66a72/Cultural+Wayfinder+business+logo.png NGO Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/a3254847-f1d4-4299-b729-429197a2501d/SN_Registered_ART.png NGO Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1673761855584-G8Z67SPMMD7XPDI3JVNK/AdobeStock_283711869.jpeg NGO Support - Strategic Advice Coupled with our change management division we offer a personalised strategic service to help you find the corporate solutions you are desperately looking for. In our view, change management is often marketed on the basis of wholesale change. We don’t see it like that. More than often you require a fresh independent observer, who is practical and who understands your market to provide strategic advice. This advice more than often relates to minor reforms - not wholesale change. Call it a ‘re-tweak’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/a104be01-f1d7-4406-8415-a36fe8d30286/AdobeStock_276919210.jpeg NGO Support - You tell us how we add value With private sector, NGO, national and global experience, we help you see what you potentially can’t. We pick up bad habits others overlook. And it’s often these small hidden gems, that make the world of different and that revitalise your commitment to your team and client base. Overview of services: - team support & training programs. - mentoring of middle managers as part of your commitment to their professional development. - executive peer support: one-on-one. - cultural awareness training for leaders / managers. - culturally appropriate and tailored mentoring for employees. - strategic assessment, change management and review programs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1750124995905-96Y2KH5QVPT5E4HF8MYD/unsplash-image-K0c8ko3e6AA.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/03a7c765-9f14-4a5c-a938-faadda61e2a8/AdobeStock_356157200.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/962477d2-cd90-4871-9577-7d286ae66a72/Cultural+Wayfinder+business+logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/a3254847-f1d4-4299-b729-429197a2501d/SN_Registered_ART.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1673761855584-G8Z67SPMMD7XPDI3JVNK/AdobeStock_283711869.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/a104be01-f1d7-4406-8415-a36fe8d30286/AdobeStock_276919210.jpeg https://www.smea.com.au/policy-and-strategy daily 0.75 2026-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1685933959412-0OIZQIFI56F4QWF1HYT4/AdobeStock_225441759.jpeg Policy and Strategy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/4f32d36d-0764-407e-b8a5-3070e878b2ea/AdobeStock_87464582.jpeg Policy and Strategy Australian Music Scene https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398938853-CQP3KA2F900ON2EYAO1X/unsplash-image-FGkxir8eVI0.jpg Policy and Strategy Marine / Oceans Policy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398940273-FYQVCYVK8Q7S2GQWHSYB/unsplash-image-pMs3Mzb5mIU.jpg Policy and Strategy Resource Policy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/dbf688f4-bde1-4c19-abf1-84ab589d2a20/Indigneous+Girls.jpg Policy and Strategy Indigenous Policy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398939660-OUV3DE8MSZ1NGDN9L7XO/unsplash-image-HDi2EwJWzI0.jpg Policy and Strategy Health Policy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398938867-JQTSMJAM4YFXT4VGGYY7/image-asset.jpeg Policy and Strategy Education Policy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398939260-OE7WGN1EX98K0Y2KRSPM/unsplash-image-_XDK4naBbgw.jpg Policy and Strategy The Future of Innovation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398939851-ETVSI2R6WML137ORINXD/unsplash-image-QjuJaMH1rEc.jpg Policy and Strategy Housing Affordability https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398939364-W6CL6ENIVEKEAK17GQQ3/unsplash-image-10jM0O-HQwo.jpg Policy and Strategy Nuclear Energy in Australia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398939249-86VR62FHJ2LSHEHJKY1T/image-asset.jpeg Policy and Strategy Australian Manufacturing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398940070-B26OQ3UFJ0AP0PN5TKBV/unsplash-image-T-eDxGcn-Ok.jpg Policy and Strategy Emmissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398939064-9DCDAY78KWWVPHK4RRQ2/unsplash-image-ficbiwfOPSo.jpg Policy and Strategy Renewable Energy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398939952-SE4ALYGCM10UV6MM0OVU/unsplash-image-tbyAfSoKE4A.jpg Policy and Strategy Rural and Regional Australia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398940219-6Y4BXIGS0LR9R9II7R6G/unsplash-image-UrCV-U9hhCo.jpg Policy and Strategy EVs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398940254-I1KK3AHRIYNOY27DLX9Q/unsplash-image-BtleFKDvN2Q.jpg Policy and Strategy Forestry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398939557-G8OSZX63Q5VS5H8FAC85/unsplash-image-UdhpcfImQ9Y.jpg Policy and Strategy Agricultural Policy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398939465-S00O7LKUPRX3IY00BBJP/unsplash-image-Vn29R6UZCjI.jpg Policy and Strategy Regulation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1762398939649-3A2K4SN5A9Y38AU4V86U/unsplash-image-cxUgrQapYi4.jpg Policy and Strategy Quad Bikes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1685934569126-WL55IBNZDH29FHBOPRVZ/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Policy+and+Strategy Policy and Strategy - THE POLICY CYCLE Policy - or public policy - is essentially the art of politics. Policy is everywhere; whether we like it or not. If you wish to export globally, run a tourism business or manufacture locally, the policy environment has a lot to say about what you can do and/or how you go about it. A lot of businesses struggle to engage with the policy / political environment successfully. But its really not that complex and we show yoou how. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/e278646a-beb5-4ec5-88e6-4e86b8b799c6/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Policy+and+Strategy Policy and Strategy - NEUTRALITY It’s important to know off the bat that we are 100% politically neutral.

The policy cycle is a defined cycle starting generally with an idea (policy solution needed) and then moves through a policy development stage, consultation period, implementation and then finally evaluation. Within this framework you have a series of obstacles and actors from policy networks, vested interests, agenda setting challenges through to, ‘…what drivers do we use or promote to achieve the outcome’? For example, will voluntary compliance achieve the policy objective or, do we need to advocate for economic solutions - user pays - to change behaviour? Either way, we map all of this out very quickly for clients and develop a comprehensive strategic plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/9055a5e2-fdac-49f1-a330-0aeb26a182ee/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Policy+and+Strategy Policy and Strategy - Indigenous affairs We raised $9.5M for a Queensland Indigenous organisation in the drug and alcohol space via a joint Federal / Queensland State Government funding arrangement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1736740315167-M6QJEP0SBDYE4HMP9U50/Small+to+Medium+Enterprise+Australia+-+Policy+and+Strategy Policy and Strategy - Emmissions Global manufacturers engaged us to create an emissions platform for spark-driven engines in Australia that met USA EPA rules.

Too many choices Marketing executives will tell you that too many choices and the need to hire multiple consultants to achieve the desired outcome on a contract, results in either the wrong decision, or no decision, being made. In essence, bringing a team together often proves too expensive so poor decisions are made and the wrong people appointed to run the project. We address this problem by project managing contracts on your terms. We deliver the project for either a fixed price or hourly rate and manage the entire process to ensure you obtain the depth of advice you need, without the associated price tag. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1703728659662-Q0G96Z1P3L4WPE14U8J2/image-asset.jpeg Project Management - No fixed costs Lowering fixed costs is the key to any business. No one wants to hire a full-time employee to deliver a specific project that may only last six months. That’s why clients hire us on a short-term contract basis. We set-up and run the Project Control Group, engage external providers, deliver the project on time and to budget and exit once the project is commissioned and our job is done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1703728743264-OPLL16BDTDN0RNCPKUT6/image-asset.jpeg Project Management - Independence A key to our success is our independence. Clients engage us independently to deliver projects. We don’t come from within the organisation and so any actual or perceived ‘issues’ - rightly or wrongly - don’t link and are not associated with us. We are there to independently build a team and deliver an outcome. Strangely, this separation is nearly always supported by third party consultants who value our independence because it’s clean and professional. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1703730807279-DR2ZK6VIFM3L11MWFA8P/image-asset.jpeg Project Management - Eclectic We’ve briefed everyone from the Prime Ministers office through to some of the most respected engineers in the country. Add to this our trade background and you have not only an eclectic partner, but one that is deeply personal and yet overtly practical. In essence, we don’t sit in plush offices on level 46 controlling contracts. We mix it with the best and brightest and yet, can hang out at smoko with the team to address the very real day-to-day issues that affect the project. It’s this element that makes us so unique and why we deliver every time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/5e6fe761-93a9-4455-bca1-1ee5a9a74864/SplitFin_blog.jpg Project Management - Manufacturing We were recently engaged by Walshs Glass to implement a business transformation strategy. The contract hinged on the implementation of the fastest vertical standing CnC glass cutting machine in the world. As a result we managed the Project Control Group (PCG) and worked tirelessly with internal staff and the Austrian based LiSEC Group. A key element of the contract was the implementation of production planning software (GPS PROD, LIS.Dispatch, dynopt) and the production linkage with the business and sales side of the business via GPS Order. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1703729742971-4BVUZAZ7SC9Y1S3KICOT/image-asset.jpeg Project Management - NZ Education From 2016 through to mid-2018 SMEA CEO Dean Logan, developed and implemented a change management program for the well respected NZ based company, School Support Limited (SSL). With six powerful divisions, SSL was considered an industry success story spanning 27 years. Dean successfully restructured divisions whilst Project Managing in-excess of $50M worth of projects a day across the country for the NZ Ministry of Education. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a567659f9a61e2b9d124e8e/1703730324272-B8TUKCIOB1JAQF96PTLJ/image-asset.jpeg Project Management - Emergency Management As part of the role with School Support Limited (SSL) in New Zealand, Dean has to manage the emergency services contract for the entire South Island of New Zealand for the NZ Ministry of Education. This was a huge contract placing serious pressure on the Project Management Team post the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes.
