Strategic plans can take many forms, depending on the size of the organisation and the intended audience. With experience drafting strategies for a range of clients from Territory-wide strategic plans for Government, to not-for-profit sporting clubs and everyone in between, Thrive Territory assists by working with clients to define their purpose and objectives, and delivers a tailored approach to meet their needs. Strategic plans developed are fit-for-purpose and professionally designed either for publishing, or for use within client teams.

 

Thrive Territory understands that the strategic planning process is oftentimes as important as the final plan itself and works with clients to understand the range of sensitivities that may emerge through the strategic planning process. Strategic planning activities are carefully designed to drive collaboration and shared ownership of the plan, to set clients up for collaborative momentum towards implementation once the plan is finalised.

Coupling her broad ranging consulting background with her experience as a Chartered Accountant, Kristy has a track record of delivering high quality feasibility assessments and business cases across a range of clients for social, commercial and economic development purposes. With a deep understanding of the Territory’s needs and priorities and relationships across Government and private sector, Thrive Territory is able to articulate multi-disciplinary benefits of projects and develop the case for change. 

 

All businesses cases, feasibility assessments and business plans are backed by 3-way financial modelling with detail tailored to the intended use of the end report. However, Thrive Territory understands that whilst important, ‘the numbers’ are only part of the story. The numbers are the financial outcomes of underlying activities that take place, and understanding of how underlying activities drive financial feasibility is key to success. Thrive Territory seeks to assist clients to understand the key sensitivities in their projects or businesses by demonstrating how a change in underlying activities may change the financial outcomes projected. 

Thrive Territory often incorporates stakeholder consultation and facilitation into strategy development and detailed planning, or for the purposes of review and evaluation activities. Kristy has delivered facilitation and consultation in all forms, including surveys, one-to-one discussion, small group feedback, large group sessions or workshops, and public/community consultation in both urban and remote settings.

Thrive Territory takes a deliberate and planned approach to consultation, and works closely with clients to co-design consultation activities to ensure stakeholder time is maximised, and detailed information necessary for high quality project delivery, is extracted efficiently.

Thrive Territory has experience in crafting funding applications for projects ranging from $500k to $50m+. A high success rate is driven by attention to detail in reviewing assessment criteria and ensuring strategic alignment between funding priorities and project delivery outcomes. Drawing on Kristy’s previous experience as an assessor of major economic grant applications, Thrive Territory understands what a comprehensive application includes and looks like, and ensures that the final package delivered to the assessment panel is clear, comprehensive and transparent in its presentation of the project.​

Grant funding application services are often coupled with strategic plan or business case/plan development to ensure the project is well defined, and all project details are available for grant assessment panels.
