Indigenous organisations benefit from Alitek’s practical planning

Alitek has worked with over 70 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria since 1993.

Our planning, coaching and training have all been tailored to suit Indigenous groups. We have made them culturally appropriate by taking time to build relationships and consult with people, running workshops as relaxed discussions rather than “chalk and talk”, and preparing documents that are brief and written in plain English.

Most of our Indigenous clients have invited us back to do more than one consulting job for them, so they must like our approach.

Two of our consultants (Andrew Grant and Krishna Heffernan) are Aboriginal. Their family links are from Wiradjuri in Central Western NSW and Yorta Yorta in Victoria.

Alitek does the following work for Indigenous organisations:

• Strategic, organisational, community and project planning
• Organisational reviews
• Plain English policies and procedures manuals
• Memoranda of Understanding between community organisations, or with government departments
• Community consultation, including one-to-one meetings and community meetings
• Management support and coaching for CEOs, senior managers and board members
• Business and marketing planning for commercial businesses
• Coaching and mentoring for managers and staff
• Training in directors’ roles and responsibilities for board members of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporations
• Training in Project Planning and Management
• Feasibility studies
• Funding proposals
• Conference facilitation
• Recruitment
• Performance Assessment Systems
• Members and tenants handbooks
• Dispute resolution and mediation
