“Bendall Advisory’s recent workshop that I attended, was informative and valuable. It was evident that Jeremy has a vast array of knowledge in the governance and capability of organisations, profit and non-profit. I would recommend attending Bendall advisory workshops if you are looking to improve the capability of your organisation and achieve better outcomes.”

“The Council contracted Jeremy Bendall to initially review our risk management approach and recommend improvements consistent with good practice. Jeremy quickly attained an understanding of the Council’s business and worked with the management and governance to develop our risk identification, tolerance and management model. We have also utilised Jeremy’s skills in facilitating Council planning. The Council has retained Jeremy as we implement this model and ensure it is embedded into our strategic and business operations.”

“Jeremy Bendall presented a full day workshop on strategic planning to the management team of our Trust. The workshop gave great insight into the reality and importance of a strategic plan. Jeremy’s skill and knowledge helped develop the management team’s understanding of the importance of strategic thinking and planning. The workshop was extremely informative and productive, and I consider it to have been of great benefit to all. 

 

I also participated in a recent governance workshop that Jeremy facilitated for our board of trustees. I found this a useful exercise and it helped me with gaining greater insight into the governance process.  I would recommend Jeremy in either capacity.”

“Jeremy’s extensive knowledge in both governance and risk management have been of great assistance to the Foundation for Youth Development (FYD).  Our Community Partner model can add complexities to effective governance.  Jeremy understands these and has supported FYD with facilitated governance sessions at our annual Community Partner conference, which have been well received.  Additionally, Jeremy has provided strong governance advice with the review of our Risk Management Policy and Plan.  He provided a robust framework that was easy to adopt and manage, and importantly supports strategic decision making. Jeremy provides good governance advice with a pragmatic approach with is greatly valued by FYD.”

“Jeremy Bendall was asked to look at best practice Board Governance for the newly established Local Government Funding Agency. The purpose was to review what we had achieved to date and to look at gaps which if filled would improve our identification and management of both risk and opportunities. Jeremy very quickly understood our unique governance model by reading relevant documentation and overseas research and was able to use his local authority experience to highlight areas to work on. Our Board and management are grateful for his services.”

 “Jeremy facilitated the development of our risk management policy, assessment of key risks and risk management framework. He kept everyone fully engaged at an evening workshop and some left with more energy than when they arrived! His assistance has helped us develop a robust process that we can now manage internally and is relatively simple to monitor and execute.”

“Upon commencing my steps to business programme, I felt like bringing my equine therapy programme to life would be a bit of a ‘pipe dream’. Jeremy helped me realize that planning and commencing small business in NZ is not as challenging as I had thought, and his support and guidance through the programme gave me the inspiration to look at bringing my business to the Tamariki.”
