“Gary Kellar is at the forefront of local government management practices.

the conduct of an organisational review and to produce an action plan that would allow me to remodel the organisation
and to improve our overall effectiveness ... Gary’s approach showed a demonstrated understanding of management
systems as well as contemporary view on the management and culture that Council should be striving to instil within the
organisation ... I would recommend Mr. Gary Kellar as an experienced consultant who offers practical solutions but also seeks to

management committee and several volunteers. This session was meticulously planned, professionally conducted and a full
report on the proceedings was provided to assist the committee to improve its long and medium term planning and to elevate its day to day
operations to a more professional level.
Gary’s thoughtful experienced approach ensured that all attendees that day were prompted to think constructively about the future
direction of the Institute. Gary’s report has assisted the Committee to implement
a much better planning process overall.”
Royal United Service Institute QLD
Client of Reinforcements in 2015
As the first review of its kind, a number of Board members had a relatively low understanding of both the purpose and process of Board reviews.
From the outset, Gary and Graham demonstrated a strong appreciation of the need to build understanding and trust with members
of the Board… they were able to quickly build both a good rapport with Board members and [convey] an understanding of the review process…
The result was an evaluation process that was flexible and met the needs of individual Board members. Facilitation of the review process
(including the final reporting back session) was professional and respectful. Feedback from Board members on the evaluation
process has been very positive”
