Impact
Our research and education activities aim to help organisations, including the Australian Defence Force, the Commonwealth, state and territory governments and private sector organisations, develop the means to address the challenges of managing strategic capabilities.
To successfully navigate the challenges of managing strategic capabilities, organisations need unique and novel solutions to increasingly complex strategic challenges. Organisations also require the means to achieve operational excellence, by improving the operational and financial viability of the strategic capabilities they manage.
Our achievements within this area of research include:
-
multi-year evaluation of the sustainable supply chain programs of two global FMCG manufacturing MNEs
-
research and development of innovations to improve health and safety outcomes in the construction industry
