The Lindfield Partners concept of essential management services is the outcome of 30 years management experience.
A common complaint heard from many organisations who engage with professional business consulting firms is the relative inexperience of many of the consultants placed in front of the customer and the resulting scepticism about the final recommendations, not to mention the usually "very expensive" bound report that arrives. With increased skill shortages in the management consulting market this problem has become worse over the past few years.
Our commitment to our customers is to use our experience developed over many years for the benefit of our customers and to not provide expensive reports that gather dust with inexperienced and impractical recommendations!
Our Purpose
To provide essential management services to clientele in the target markets. An important component of The Lindfield Partners business is to provide collegiate networking services between our various business partners and client companies that deliver a seamless "one stop business consultancy" service for our customers.
Our target customers include:
- SME organisations in Australia looking for ways to:
a) Expand their business either organically and/or through acquisitions,
b) Develop productivity improvements that lead to increased profitability, and
c) Plan for the owner's exit/retirement
- Private equity and venture capital firms seeking strong business prospects to fund and develop.
- Research Centres in universities and government organisations looking for a path to commercialise intellectual property.

Performance
The ability to achieve the outcomes for our customers is not a theoretical exercise. We believe in establishing measurable Key Performance Indicators to provide guidelines for continuous improvement. Whether you are an elite athlete or business professional, improvement in performance can only come from appraisal and reappraisal of the recommended actions. Some of the more identifiable Key Performance Indicators we use at the Lindfield Partners are:
- Financial performance against the Budget - "make the numbers",
- Customer Service performance against the Promise - "keeping customers happy",
- Effectiveness and efficiency of the Supply Chain performance - "get the best result from suppliers",
- Clear and unambiguous Reporting and Communication performance - "Keeping all stakeholders informed", and
- Compliance performance with all Statutory, Corporate, Workplace and Industrial Regulations - "Observe the law".
