“This was without a doubt the most successful change process I have ever been involved with and this feedback was echoed by all of the members of my new team. FAST Meetings was instrumental in designing and facilitating this success. The initial offsite conference provided us an enormous step up, and the follow through support overcome many of the challenges of alignment and buy-in that are so difficult to achieve with a change in structure.”
Michael Ehrentraut – Head of Transactional Business Group
Westpac Bank
"FAST Meetings helped us achieve outstanding business results in a very focussed, tightly facilitated workshop. The FAST process was the best I have seen in 25 years of engineering and mining"

“We had to find new ways of improving customer service whilst reducing spend per customer. Using FAST, we were able to identify practical solutions and generate immediate traction with initiatives that delivered results within 6 months”

“Through a one day Board Strategy Retreat, FAST Meetings Co. enabled IM Medical to focus our business model and reach a consensus on the strategy that best leveraged the company’s core strengths. In addition, and perhaps most importantly the sessions allowed ownership of the strategies that were well understood and supported by Board members. The 6 month plan that ensued has been implemented, and this has allowed us rapid growth whilst also supporting a sustainable business model”
Andrew Batty – CEO
IM Medical
“Thanks very much for the huge amount of work & the great way in which you ran the strategic planning conference. My business partner & I both believe this was the most productive strategic planning meeting we have been to. There are 2 reasons for that, the first is that it was very obvious that a lot of thought and work had gone into preparing for the meeting. This is reflected in how well the businesses were allocated into the groups. We got a lot out of the sessions with the other businesses at our table. The second is how well the sessions were run and the format for pulling the results together. Thanks very much.”
Neville Hughes – Managing Director
GTC Financial
“During the course of 6 years, and in two separate enterprises, FAST Meetings Co. has provided me and my organisations with invaluable service in growing complex businesses. Specifically, FAST Meetings has been instrumental in the implementation of Strategic management systems which have endured and become central mechanisms for focus, alignment and growth. These implementations have been coupled with cultural change that is brought about by their skill in creating buy-in to change, as they help people work through the difficulties and uncertainties brought about by change. I have no hesitation in recommending them as valuable business partners.”
Tony Pollock – CEO (and former CEO, Monash International)

“FAST have contributed focus, effective processes and continued traction in several change management initiatives I have been involved with or lead. These have delivered fundamental changes to departmental processes and cross-department synergies. Their insights and methodologies made a major contribution to getting buy-in, cohesion and co-operation. I highly recommend them as strategic facilitators”

“I just wanted to thank you for your efforts at our strategic planning weekend recently for ALA. The work you did was extraordinary and it has provided a great platform for the organisation to move forward. Much appreciated.”

“You exceeded our expectations of what we might achieve on our weekend Strategic planning retreat. Not only do we have a renewed clarity of our vision and main priorities, but we also have the Board now thinking like a team. Your facilitation was very effective in drawing out all members and making sure people feel a part of the decisions we have made. We will be talking to you about how you can support us as we move toward implementing these plans”
