Over 2022, we worked alongside Primary Health Networks, Local Health Networks and Not-for-Profits to complete over 37 projects. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to every organisation that has granted us the opportunity to collaborate and contribute to their mission. It is the collective efforts and shared dedication that have made our achievements possible.

Approximately a year and a half has passed since we embarked on our current 5-year strategic plan, covering the period from 2022 to 2027. In this blog post, we aim to provide you with an update on the progress we have made towards achieving the goals outlined in our strategic plan.

Charli and Alex spent 13 weeks with our team as part of their Master of Public Health placement through the University of Queensland. We asked them to write about their reflections on their time with us, which includes lots of helpful insights for anyone early in their career.

We have a great role up for grabs in our close-knit team, delivering high-quality consultancy projects primarily in the health sector. We are looking for someone with 5 years of professional experience in a relevant sector environment, such as health consulting, PHNs, local health networks or health service providers.

Our org code #2 is “Teams over individuals: we value delivering ‘the work’ in teams. All of our people, when working together and within the right environment, can achieve greater things together than individually.” This is a code that resonates with our staff…

We recently reviewed our original wording for our organisation code #1 - Clients are the reason we exist. After some very interesting discussions with our team about their take on what this principle meant to them, we revised the wording to better reflect the diversity of understanding within the team.

It's time we take stock of what we’ve achieved this quarter, what is still in the holding bay, and what we’ll focus on this coming quarter for our five-year plan.

We somehow find ourselves in May (…which is pretty damn hard to believe) and change seems to be in the air at Beacon Strategies. It is probably an understatement that there has been a lot happening for the Beacon Strategies team over the first 4-5 months of 2022.

With the ink still drying on our five-year strategic plan (2022 - 2027) we are now shifting gears to implementation. For many organisations, operationalising their strategic plan can be a daunting process. For us, we are keeping things as simple as humanly possible and being guided by 5 principles to help us get out of the blocks.
