Acknowledgement of Country

In the spirit of reconciliation, Right Lane Consulting acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

What we do

We are a purpose-driven management consulting firm

Since 1997, we have been helping organisations clarify their direction, align their teams, and accelerate progress toward their goals.

Learn More
Strategy and foresight

We help organisations make sense of their environment, clarify ambition and chart a confident path forward.

Our strategy work spans the full spectrum, from diagnostic reviews and analysis of forces at work, to strategic thinking, planning and strategy management. We challenge clients to consider future scenarios to test strategy and identify growth and innovation opportunities.

We bring a structured yet creative approach that links insight to intent and helps to ensure that strategy is grounded in evidence, aligned to purpose and ready for execution.

Strategy mobilisation and implementation

We help organisations turn strategy into sustained results.

Our mobilisation work focuses on framing the challenge, aligning leadership, sequencing priorities, engaging teams, managing and oversighting programs, and embedding the rhythms of performance and review that bring strategy to life.

We help clients move from strategic intent to measurable outcomes through disciplined execution.

Operating model and organisation design

We design operating models that translate strategy into how work gets done. Our projects cover the identification of priority capabilities; organisation structure and role clarity; decision rights and accountability; culture, collaboration and ways of working; and enabling infrastructure and the economics of delivery.

We help clients build organisations that are clear, connected and capable of scaling.

Strategic risk and resilience

We help organisations turn risk management from a compliance exercise into a living capability that actively considers risks and opportunities; is embedded in strategy, culture and operations; and builds resilience, agility and advantage.

We do this by clarifying risk appetite, strengthening governance and foresight, and creating the rhythms and forums where risk conversations are strategic, not procedural.

Growth and commercial performance

We are trusted partners in unlocking growth and optimising commercial performance with a focus on purpose and impact. Our work spans growth options evaluation, mergers and alliances, product and market development, marketing effectiveness and pricing strategy.

We help organisations understand their business economics including deep analysis of cost-to-serve, cost allocation and performance levers. Our approach combines analytical rigor and strategic insight to identify where and how value can be created and sustained.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

We support organisations to build more inclusive and high-performing workplaces. Our DEI work includes diagnostic reviews and audits, DEI strategies and action plans, and integration of inclusion goals into broader organisational strategy.

We focus on both the human and performance dimensions, helping clients embed DEI as a driver of engagement, innovation and impact.

Complex stakeholder engagement and convening

We help clients navigate complex stakeholder environments where strategic choices require alignment, trust and legitimacy. Our experience includes multi-party engagement, coalition-building and the facilitation of high-stakes dialogues.

We design and lead processes that enable clarity of intent, informed decision-making and durable commitment across diverse interests.

Reviews, evaluations and assessments

We help organisations assess how well their programs, services, and functions are performing, and the real-world  they are achieving. Our work combines strategic, operational, financial and stakeholder insights, with robust  measurement to evaluate effectiveness, efficiency and alignment to mission.

We deliver clear evidence and practical recommendations that enable decision-makers to refine strategies, improve performance and maximise outcomes.

Testimonials

What our clients say

We have been exceptionally impressed with the support and expertise provided by Right Lane. The level of organisation and planning prior to sessions, as well as Tal’s skilled facilitation and knowledge of the legal sector, has meant the sessions have been incredibly productive. The follow up post sessions with the notes have also been of such a high standard.

CEO

Community Legal Service

Right Lane was a fantastic partner to assist us with our Operating Model Review. Afsaneh went above and beyond to engage with our staff and volunteers and deliver us a very comprehensive report which will underpin our Action Plan. Thank you

CEO

Emergency Services organisation

Right Lane held us together whilst we explored our particular ideas around our model in quite a large diverse group. The Right Lane team were able to provide the right care, guidance, structure and process that enabled us to reach our midway point in our foundation phase, applying our model alongside Aboriginal enterprises. The impact the work Right Lane has had on Worthwhile Ventures is best described as reconciliation in action. Without their work and support we would not have seen the diversity of Worthwhile Venture’s business community come together and successfully collaborate and share ideas.

Director

Worthwhile Ventures

We asked Right Lane to help us formulate a vision for what it was we wanted to achieve. We wanted to have an absolutely clear understanding of why we existed and what it was we wanted to achieve. The skills Right Lane brought to the process are firstly extracting the aspirations of board members individually. Then the exciting thing was setting up the pillars for how we were going to achieve that outcome. It’s absolutely made our thinking crystal clear about what we do and what we don’t do. It’s all about the clarity of purpose. It’s that light on the hill.

Chair

Fairley Foundation

… a big thanks for helping us get ready for the Board Strategy Day. We had a quick team huddle at the end of the day and all agreed it could not have gone much better. The Directors were highly engaged, gave us really valuable feedback on the strategic narrative and measurement framework, as well as indicating comfort with all the initiatives, both those on the table and the ones we took off – and the fiscal narrative was really compelling. Complete support in our approach of thinking about the investment we make in the business in terms of how much value can then be added back to the state and no push back on the overall cost.

COO

Victorian Funds Management Corporation

A pleasure to work with Right Lane. A few challenges on our side but Right Lane remained patient and professional the whole way through the project. Always looking for the right approach and solutions too. Thanks RLC.
