Client feedback
What clients say
The City of Fremantle has engaged David of Elevate Management and Workplace Solutions (Elevate) to develop a suite of corporate performance KPIs for our management team which allowed the City to maintain consistency in how we monitor performance across the group. Elevate delivered a clear, practical and well-considered framework which aligned performance measurement and our organisational objectives. Elevate also developed a structured service review process to help identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency for the City. This process was particularly valuable as it provided a structured approach for all levels of the organisation from Council, senior leadership, management and employees. This ensured appropriate governance, accountability and engagement across all levels of the organisation. I would recommend David to any organisation seeking to improve operational processes and establish a disciplined approach to outcomes.
David Price has provided outstanding support to Community Living Association over many years, combining considerable expertise with a practical, thoughtful approach and a strong quickly acquired understanding of our organisation. His contribution has been instrumental in strengthening our governance, which was recognised as exceptional during our recent NDIS recertification audit. David is a trusted and highly valued adviser, and I wholeheartedly recommend him and Elevate Management and Workplace Solutions to any organisation seeking to strengthen its governance and organisational effectiveness.
Elevate Management and Workplace Solutions has provided valuable strategic and governance support to the Curtin Student Guild, bringing an independent and considered perspective to a range of important organisational priorities. Their contribution to our organisational review and the development of our commercial strategy has been particularly valuable, providing practical insights and strategic guidance to support informed decision-making and our future direction.
I engaged David's services for writing a privacy policy for a website. David was efficient, professional and easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to use David's services again and highly recommend to others.
