The report is valued for its first class coverage of the principles and their conceptual underpinning as applied to workforce planning."

Peter Sharp, Former Head Strategic Workforce Planning Review, Department of Defence

Recommendations for Country Fire Service

"Under your skilled guidance, Noetic Solutions worked with key Country Fire Service (CFS) personnel and with people from other groups who are important to us, to craft the recommendations in the Project Phoenix report".

"The legacy of your foresight and wisdom will be a better and safer CFS, and a safer community".

"I cannot stress enough the critical role that Noetic Solutions has played in this process: partner, guide, collaborator, teacher, advocate and mentor, to name a few. The exercise, whilst only the end of the beginning, has been a fantastic way of 'moving the organisation on'."

"Noetic's presentation and achievements were impressive. Noetic very effectively reinforced our main theme for the two days which was the importance of getting the people issues, plant and equipment and processes all aligned under effective leadership. Noetic's presentation was consistently rated as one of the best parts of our workshop."

Peter Wilkinson, Former Group Manager Operational Excellence and Risk, Caltex Australia

Victorian Department of Infrastructure

"Over the past 18 months the Chief Technology Office has utilised Noetic Solutions to undertake several small to medium engagements focusing on benefits realisation for whole of government ICT projects conducted by this office".

"In undertaking these projects Noetic demonstrated several innovative attributes regarding the OCIO's recently developed approach to benefits realisation prior to it being adopted broadly or instituted as Office of the Chief Information Officer, as such Noetic broke new ground in this regard and rather than simply adopting a centralised and mandated approach to benefits realisation Noetic:

• Challenged successfully the established thinking to benefits realisation thereby enabling stakeholders to state their true position on this matter,

• Confronted hard issues such as the ongoing resourcing levels required and the meaningful KPIs that are measureable, but do not place a significant burden on the reporting needed and worked to implement acceptable outcomes with stakeholders,

• Raised successfully the focus of ICT benefits realisation to the business outcomes level, and

• Confronted the governance aspects of ICT projects to ensure these were appropriate for the different stages of a project and suggesting a governance regime that evolves with the project to ensure it continues to succeed."

Paul Galea, Former Director, CTO Operations, Victorian Department of Infrastructure

Support to Army Single Service Assymetric Warfare Activity

"Thank you for your support to the Army Single Service asymmetric warfare activity. Your initial presentation provided the syndicate with a valuable insight into the nature, character, threats and responses to asymmetric warfare and provided them with an excellent starting point from which to develop their final program."

"Your guidance throughout the activity was most welcome, and your candid and pragmatic approach was refreshing and greatly appreciated by staff and students alike. I am certain that all students undertaking the Army component are now more fully aware of the key asymmetric challenges facing many countries around the globe."

Colonel J.C. Dittmar, CSC, Former Director of Studies - Land, Australian Defence College

I consider the development and publication of this document to have been a very successful endeavour, which, without your assistance, would have been difficult, if not impossible to complete."

"Your contribution to the development of the Employment of Special Operations Forces is very much appreciated and I look forward to us being able to develop more doctrine in the future, as quality doctrine is a fundamental input to capability and to mission success."

Major General M. S. J. Hindmarsh, AM, CSC, Former Head of Special Operations Commander Australia, Australian Army
