Capability Statement
nem Australasia (nem) was founded in 2001 by three former senior corporate executives that saw an opportunity to assist a wide range of organisations to accelerate the achievement of their businesses objectives.
Aimed primarily at the private enterprise space, nem developed a non-conventional approach to assisting businesses. This approach focused on establishing a clear understanding of the fundamental issues facing the business and identifying the blockages and obstacles that caused them. More critically, ensuring management and all stakeholders understood what the barriers are is a cornerstone to the client establishing ownership and a commitment to addressing them.
The nem consulting approach has been extremely successful within the private enterprise space with the partnership growing to over 40 Partners operating nationally from five offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. nem is now arguably Australia’s largest boutique consulting firm, offering non executive management services to the SME market. In particular, nem focuses on the $5 million to $100 million annual turnover segment where the majority of our referral networks also have most of their client activity. nem is an active and trusted advisor to such businesses, with the majority of clients having turnover in the $2 million to $20 million range.
nem relies on the expertise of the individual Partners to undertake business reviews, identify strategies and to document agreed implementation programs. They then work with the client’s internal resources and existing external service providers to guide, monitor and assess progress. This contrasts significantly to a conventional consulting approach that relies on a team of staff, many of whom are commercially inexperienced, working independently of management.
All Partners of nem are past senior corporate executives or successful business owners in their own right. While they are commercially remunerated and focused, their primary driver is a genuine desire to assist and impart knowledge in a sector that is poorly serviced by conventional consulting organisations.
The Partner group hold a wide range of Directorships, not for profit Board positions and community based positions in addition to their active role as a nem Partner.
The firm’s genuine approach of only engaging where value added outcomes can be achieved, the modest recovery rates relative to the major consulting firms and the fact the firm does not operate a leveraged structure has created widespread interest amongst the partners’ wider corporate networks.
As a consequence nem has been increasingly engaged in the major corporate market, offering independent assessment and analysis along agreed frameworks, that work in conjunction with the companies resources to accelerate the achievement of key objectives.
