"I engaged Wendy to partner with me on a major organisational review project of 6 months duration for Cabrini Health. This review required extensive consultation with the executive team and a range of stakeholders across our six campuses and four thousand staff. Wendy's collaborative working style and significant expertise in engaging a very diverse range of people enabled the collection of high quality data from our people. Wendy further assisted in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of this data.

Wendy delivered on-time, on-budget and was the consummate professional at every stage of our project."
