About Stuart Waddington

YOUR SUMMIT Achieving peak performance is ongoing and a constant search for 'better'. A 'better' you / your people / your customers / your systems / all of these. You have many decisions, investments, projects and changes ahead. Projects and change are inherently tough to setup, get done, and get results – particularly whilst running the business. MY 'GET STUFF DONE' EXPERTISE Facilitating mission clarity and engagement; Preparing teams, capabilities, and agility; Leading and coaching teams to perform, tackle challenges, and achieve ‘their summit’. MY DRIVERS I have a passion for helping people and a belief that individuals and teams can achieve incredible objectives when properly focused, resourced, and well led. MY TRACK RECORD I grew up and worked in my family’s business. I’ve helped organisations in Australia, Europe, Asia, US, and NZ. I’ve gained lessons from creating six businesses. Having designed and led many people, processes, and systems solutions, it is clear my human-led focus is the key to sustainable outcomes. My reputation for ‘getting complex stuff done’ (every time) has been built over 30+ years. Project delivery in not enough. Outcomes matter. WHERE HAVE I DONE THIS Small and Medium Businesses; Corporates; Government Agencies, NFP, Educational – across many industries and customer expectations. I have been involved in, set up, and led many amazing project / program delivery teams across:* Digital and Business Transformation - people, processes, products * Partnering and Offshoring - preparation, implementation, optimisation * Merger and Acquisition - due diligence, negotiation, integration Key aspects making my approach successful include:* Refinement of strategy into options, priorities, resources, and deliverable plans * People setup / re-set and leadership for completion and transition to ‘new BAU’ * Stakeholder engagement and alignment to maximise commitment to progress I am highly principled, humanistic, and hold dearly to the following philosophy:* Action – Move clearly to goals with ‘why’, ‘what’, and ‘how’. Standing still rarely helps a journey.* Belief – Take steps to overcome fears. Absolute certainty before an endeavour is very rare.* Care – Help people to care about performance. Outcomes rely on productivity not just activity.
