I am very pleased to provide this testimonial to the quality and standard of work delivered by TMS Consulting to the Mt Isa Regional Operations Centre (ROC).

In April 2011, the Mt Isa ROC sought independent expert support to facilitate several project planning workshops with a range of Australian and Queensland Government Agency representatives.  The intent of the workshops was for the Mt Isa ROC and government Agencies to work together and jointly focus government efforts towards implementation of a range of commitments to closing the gap in Indigenous disadvantage in the remote Indigenous communities of Doomadgee and Mornington Island.

From the first preliminary meetings through to workshop design and delivery, it was evident the TMS Consulting team had extensive experience working with other Australian and State Government Agencies.  Under the leadership and direction of Helen Wood, the team demonstrated a very strong capacity to meet very tight deadlines, effectively engage and manage relationships with key government stakeholders and deliver professionalism and significant expertise in both workshop facilitation and project management.

Helen's workshop facilitation led to successful engagement with a range of key government stakeholders.  The partnerships established with key Agency representatives and stakeholders during the workshops helped to promote and embed the Remote Service Delivery reform agenda, contribute to development of a collective ownership of a key Closing the Gap strategy and importantly, progress action towards achievement of commitments under the community Local Implementation Plans for the benefit of the identified remote Indigenous communities.

The Mt Isa ROC looks forward to future opportunities to work with TMS Consulting and has no hesitation in recommending them as a preferred supplier.

HPMS engaged TMS Consulting (TMS) to develop and manage relationships in bringing a team together from a wide variety of backgrounds and initial views on objectives. TMS has also been instrumental in providing governance structure and as the observer for areas to be addressed and in the few instances required the facilitator to ensure team changes are understood and demonstrated to be best for project.

Over a period of six months the pipelines team under the relationship building direction of TMS has progressed to a strong united focus on best outcomes and is able to address issues as they arise in a firm and frank approach of respect for each person and understanding of a committed solution. We attribute the success of the team to the approach and guidance provided by TMS in a professional and respectful manner. The workshops are well planned based on research of the team behaviours and a very suited balance between team structural requirements, behavioural developments and exercises to allow team members to develop to their best potential.

TMS provides of whole of service approach and follows through with its considerations to ensure that the plans laid out are both well implemented and are being successful. TMS is experienced to make the changes necessary if a plan is not achieving the best outcome. We will continue to use TMS in this role and would strongly support any organisation that seeks to engage TMS to work to develop a high performance team.

Helen has assembled an "A Team" to extend the value she can individually bring to any organisation. When Helen told me she had formed her own consulting company I immediately asked her to look at my own business. We have now been working with Helen and her team for around 18 months. Helen's involvement has given us a much clearer direction for our company and a 100% improvement in company culture.

In Touch, Understanding, Intelligent, Conceptual, Clear Thinking and Results Driven - I give Helen my absolute recommendation.
