Client Testimonials
"Activity Based Costing helps to make sure resources aren't wasted and provides excellent transparency on the costs of delivering our courses. We have approached the program with Agility Consulting as a whole-of-enterprise exercise which will help us understand our process and costs more deeply. Over time, the transparency and the ability to manage costs which we gain from ABC will change the way we do business and, eventually the culture of the institution. Transparency is the greatest form of control."
John Sullivan,
Diector of Financial Services, Charles Darwin University
"Group Costing has been quietly but dramatically transforming the cost management framework for the Commonwealth Bank Group since mid 1998. The first transformational project was a "whole of bank" activity based costing project which captured a multidimensional view of processes, products, customer segments and distribution channels. Follow-on projects that leveraged off this costing database included GST implementation, Colonial Bank integration, and customer value. Agility Consulting has played a strong ongoing role in these projects through its ABC experience, its systems integration, and its rigorous project management ethos."
Fred Schouten,
Executive Finance Systems and Performance Management,
Commonwealth Bank of Australia
"We were looking for a combination of strong ABM experience, a willingness of the consultants to transfer their technical skills, speed of execution, and value for money. Agility Consulting not only met all our requirements, but they seamlessly adapted to our requirement to retain control of our own destiny."
John Tancevski,
CFO, Australian National Credit Union
"Agility implemented a bank-wide Activity Based Costing system for us. Throughout the term of the contract, Agility Consulting and its officers conducted themselves in an entirely professional manner. The milestones of the project were met on time and on budget and the objectives of the project were met."
Les Henderson,
Project Manager - Bank of South Pacific "Since Agility started working with Moreton, we have reduced overall costs by 10-15 per cent. Moreton has found itself better able to react to real costs in the delivery of educational and vocational training and a number of opportunities have been identified. MoretonÕs traditional business has been reshaped to face head-on competition policy and factors which impinge on the traditional vocational training processes. Restructuring administration processes carried with it a staffing restructure and, as they gradually adjusted to the ABC processes, all staff became more aware of the financial situation and appreciated the need to control costs and improve revenue."
John Swete-Kelly,
Managing Director, Moreton Institute of TAFE
"We needed to identify the business requirements for the replacement of our operational systems - the work undertaken for us by Agility was of a high calibre and was undertaken in accordance with the terms of reference, within the timeframe and within budget. It was a very pleasing outcome."
Denis Collister,
Director, Finance, Administration and Information Systems, The Audit Office of NSW
“Agility responded by delivering its services as defined by us, by always being on-time, on-budget and by meeting project objectives. Rapid project implementation has allowed us to respond quickly to the whole organisation’s need to regularly monitor progress against its strategic objectives”.
