ASVP Group is a boutique, Melbourne-based strategic management and marketing consulting firm which provides targeted, focused strategic advice to business organisations throughout Australia.

Since 1998 the principal of ASVP, Chris Blackman, has been assisting organisations to improve productivity and performance. Clients have included include corporate giants such as BHP, RACV and Equity Trustees, and non-profit organisations, including Berry Street Victoria. Our work is collaborative, involving key client personnel and resources and a core part of our process revolves around the transfer of new skills to the client.

Although most of our engagements are conducted for existing clients, new project work comprises the predominant share of what we do. Projects are usually completed within one to five months. We always work with specific objectives, clearly-established target outcomes and timing, to contribute to client business goals.

Our experience and results have taught us that to improve organisational performance requires investment in people, processes, systems and underlying support structures. However, that investment often does not require additional resources, but rather the redeployment and refocusing of existing resources and talent.

Clients we have advised range from blue-chip to start-up, from primary resources to bio-medical systems and high-technology devices. We have worked with some of Australia's largest organisations, some of Australia's most profitable, and for a range of not-for-profit, social and environmental enterprises, and community service organisations.

So, whether you need to:

• Take a new business product or concept to market successfully and quickly; or;
• Come up with a new strategy for the "interesting times" in which we now live;
• Improve results across the board, or to respond to specific challenges;
• Increase teamwork, responsibility and accountability within the organisation, or;
• Clearly articulate, communicate and roll out your strategy throughout the organisation, building in risk-management and compliance frameworks as you go;
• Or even a combination of all the above - you can always use the help of a highly experienced 'strategic guide' ^™- a business professional who understands and will share your goals. A trusted adviser who has helped clients deliver lasting performance improvements.

ASVP Group will lead you through your strategic and business planning process, and help you create a robust, flexible organisation highly capable of executing for 'Simply Better Results'^™. And leave your organisation in better condition as a result.
