I am Gary Eckstein, a Sydney based consultant and trainer. I specialize in making organizations more effective, efficient and simple to understand.
Specialties include:
- Making I.T. more effective: Getting the most from your I.T. spend and more importantly getting I.T. to work for your business. Typically organizations use a fraction of their I.T. capabilities. I help to translate capabilities into results while reducing I.T. expenditure. Examples include; using existing software more effectively, implementing Websites and Blogs aligned with organizational strategy and using state of the art free software where available.
- Business Process improvement: Business Process improvement exercises are very valuable in understanding how each task should be performed to most effectively and efficiently achieve goals. I specialize in standard business process mapping and improvement as well as frameworks such as ITIL. Part of Business Process improvement is about understanding where tasks are being duplicated and where task efficiencies may be attained. Effectiveness and efficiency are the main goals here whilst removing complexity.
- Training: Whether for compliance purposes or to align employees towards common goals I am able to train your employees to deliver better business results. I deliver business and I.T. training.
Competitive advantages:
- I am MBA qualified from a top ranked European business school.
- I work with clients, large and small in all industries and sectors. A selection of clients includes; Telstra, NSW Department of Community Services, Catholic Schools Office, Fujitsu etc.
- I ‘speak’ I.T and business and my main goals are always to create sustainable competitive advantage for my clients.
- I have owned and managed small businesses as well as held management and consulting positions in large corporate, not-for-profit and government organizations.
- I don’t sell hardware, software or other products therefore have no interest in recommending specific technologies. I have no interest in recommending new or additional technologies where these are not needed. I provide services and not products.
