Coaching Approach: Brian coached the leadership team to integrate digital solutions with their operational systems, developing a strategic approach to compliance that aligned with business growth objectives.
Results: The company achieved 5-star external H&S certification, streamlined their compliance processes, and gained access to large infrastructure contracts they previously couldn't tender for. The leadership team now views safety compliance as a competitive advantage rather than a regulatory burden.
International Market Entry Success
