Bret has significant experience in the corporate headquarters and strategic management consulting roles. His areas of expertise are strategy and leadership. He has worked extensively in management with Australian national and state government organisations, including the Australian Defence Force, the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, and the Victoria Country Fire Authority.
In addition to corporate trouble-shooting roles, Bret has developed a specialisation in teaching strategy through the use of computer-based group and first person simulation environments. Organisations that have utilised this specific method for improving senior management teams, and organisational responsiveness to crisis, have included the Australian Army and the Victorian Country Fire Authority.
