"David Mernagh has been a fantastic find for the Business Change Team in Suncorp. We were lucky enough to secure his services after his arrival from Melbourne, and he has brought creativity, maturity and professionalism to our operation. What makes David special, is his unflappable ability to effectively engage stakeholders on large, complex programs of work and achieve great outcomes for the business. David not only provides high quality change leadership on his assigned projects, but he is always looking to give something back to the Change Community of Practice through shared learnings and the coaching of his peers. David's achievements have been delivered via his work on Suncorp's International Accounting Standards Program, the insourcing of a key lending application, and his work on Suncorp's desktop upgrade project."

"Mater Health Services (MHS) Brisbane initially engaged Foundations Consulting in 2009 to develop the business change management capabilities of the project managers within their Electronic Health Record (EHR) Program.  Whilst implementing a project change management framework and toolkit for the Information Management Division of the Mater during this contract, Foundations Consulting also played an active role in managing the change and adoption aspects of several eHealth projects within the EHR Program.  These projects were highly successful in terms of time, cost and quality and the sponsors (MHS Executive) of these initiatives concluded that their success was attributable to how well the Mater staff and external stakeholders were engaged, prepared and supported.

After the positive experience the Mater had with Foundation Consulting during those projects, we then engaged the team for more extensive work throughout 2011 and 2012.  This was in response to the need to deliver two Department of Health and Aging (DoHA) funded projects within the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR) Program. The Foundations Consulting team’s strengths in project management, stakeholder engagement strategies, change impact assessments, training planning and delivery and communication enabled the Mater to meet our contractual obligations to DoHA.

During the years I have worked with Foundation Consulting I have been specifically impressed by their professionalism.  Their work is of a consistently high standard and is always delivered on time.  The individuals themselves are experienced, fantastic communicators, thorough, reliable, and are able to fit well into newly formed or existing work environments.  I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Foundations Consulting to assist an organisation in managing a complex project and successfully achieving the desired outcomes."

"David has a passion for Change Management that is only matched by his vast experience and supreme communication skills. David uses these communications skills to convey his strategic thoughts into a well received message while operating at various levels of a company from CEO to grassroots. I recently had the opportunity to have David apply his skills in leading a change management program of work, as part of a bigger project, that delivered a very effective transition and outcome for our customer. In this client facing role, he was able to quickly gain the respect of his customers and his commitment to meeting their challenging needs was second to none. I would have no hesitation recommending David for Leadership Roles."

“David anchored the Change Management initiative during the SDP Project and later during the Integration Project at Suncorp. His exemplary communication skills, attention to detail, and appreciation of business requirements were of great help to the project. What was thought to be an insurmountable task was made easy with David's capabilities. I would recommended David highly to organisation’s undergoing 'Change' of any nature”.

“Foundations Consulting provided invaluable guidance and support throughout significant divisional and technology changes, which enabled smooth transition of these resulting in a positive outcome.  The experience and source of information and knowledge is a great asset, which encouraged quality and timely delivery of our solutions and freed in-house resources to focus on other aspects of the project or process change. The enthusiastic and professional (yet friendly) manner of the consultants promoted a positive atmosphere and contributed to key shifts in the teams culture and way of working”.
