CatholicCare Diocese of Wollongong has had the privilege of working with ATS as a trusted partner for over a decade. The mission of ATS is encapsulated in their name - assisting not for profit community organisations to succeed.

The ATS team are highly experienced professionals from diverse corporate backgrounds inspired by a shared commitment to bringing this mission to life in the community.  Such is their commitment that all the services provided by ATS are generously offered on a strict pro bono basis, while operating with all the professionalism of a private consultancy firm.

We have found the approach of the ATS team to be highly ethical and mission aligned.  They invite fresh thinking and approaches around strategy, offer project management guidance and coaching, help improve discipline with strategy execution, and at times take the role of a trusted 'critical friend' to help us stretch and grow our vision of what is possible.  Throughout their engagement with us on a different projects, we have found them to be consistently respectful in approach, and always seeking opportunities for mutual learning to take place.

The partnership with ATS has been invaluable, and we look forward very much to continuing our relationship with them into the future.

ATS provided outstanding support to CatholicCare Broken Bay across a number of key projects.   The hallmarks of their work provide great value to those fortunate enough to receive their services and include:

• Extraordinary breadth and depth of expertise and capability across a number of strategic disciplines that would otherwise be inaccessible to most NFPs

• A professional, business perspective coupled with a real commitment to understanding and enhancing the value of NFP agencies in our communities

• Capacity to help organisations simplify what might otherwise be very complex processes, recognising the need for frontline staff to engage, and feel confident

• Evidenced-based and comprehensive project management methodology which facilitates capacity building and continuous improvement with the organisation

• Consultants who, in spite of their stellar careers, are humble, empathetic and driven by a desire to help NFPs reach their full potential, recognising the significant regulatory and financial constraints that are a reality of NFP governance and management

Working with ATS was not just an enabler of projects for CatholicCare Broken Bay, but a great opportunity for learning about the value of collaboration.

I would recommend ATS to any NFP organisation that has a challenge to address, confident that the support provided by ATS will prove to be valuable.
