    At Telstra, I engaged Bruce to lead for me a critical review of an operating division within the Telstra Media portfolio, targeted at improving overall business performance through a refinement of the strategy and including customer value proposition, go-to-market execution and post sale customer care.

    The output of the review was a number of recommendations, many of which were implemented, resulting in improved product performance, profitability and customer satisfaction scores. Bruce engaged very effectively with incumbent leaders, building trust and collaboration. I would recommend Bruce as a consultant to lead any business improvement project.
