Overview

Gisch Consulting offers a fully guided and supported process for selecting, testing and implementing a project management solution to help SMEs embrace cloud productivity solutions.

One of the key differences between Gisch Consulting and other technical implementers is the deeper understanding of how systems and processes are interconnected and combined to suit your organisation’s unique circumstances.

Anita Gisch is trained to listen and interpret the information you provide. She will look for the subtle effects that change can have on your work practice and for patterns, barriers and points of agitation that can be easy to miss in a fast-moving, high-intensity work environment.

With an eye for detail and commitment to delivering the highest level of service, Anita’s goal is to help your team fulfil your vision for the future to promote growth across the board.

 

Anita Gisch

I’m passionate about helping small and medium enterprises (SMEs) take giant leaps forward by making the most of their people, processes, and systems. My work draws on my background in anthropology, business analysis, and information technology.

My unique mix of skills allows me to peer deeply into organisations on both a structural and social level, shining a light on the invisible processes that govern them. From there, I develop tailored advice for leveraging technology, streamlining operations, and maximising efficiency while tapping into every enterprise’s most valuable asset — the bright, brilliant, motivated people who carry out its mission. My areas of specialty include cloud technology implementation, process creation and improvement, training and ongoing support, and project management.

I developed my expertise over many years as a project manager and in senior leadership roles for prominent organisations such as Standards Australia and The Smith Family and Aura Asia Pacific. As an inveterate learner with an insatiable appetite for knowledge, I also earned a PhD in Information Systems, for research into the role of social interactions in change management and process resilience. I put these insights and principles into action to help SMEs grow to their full potential and lay the foundation for lasting success.

Services

I create fully customised, tailored solutions that address the unique needs of each business I work with. My process is built on three key pillars:

  • Systems and Process Change

My work is iterative, which means that I gather information and present my findings in stages, to ensure we’re moving in the right direction as quickly and effectively as possible. This approach allows me to get to know the inner workings of your organisation and see what needs to be tweaked, improved, or outright overhauled to clear a path to success. I also spend time getting to know your people, since getting your staff engaged, onboard, and excited is crucial to the outcome of any change management project.

  • Organisational Anthropology

I don’t just show up with a generic training package and make it fit your business. I approach my work as an anthropologist, treating every client as a unique entity to be explored and understood on a deep level. I look for the patterns, connections, and subtleties of your organisation and identify the elements that can unlock the most meaningful changes.

  • Documentation

I’ve got my documentation down to a science, with over 20 years of experience creating high-quality process documentation and training materials — I even wrote a PhD on the topic. I make sure you’re set up for lasting success with detailed documentation that covers the technical information you need to know as well as how to manage specific cultural needs of your organisation.

My services run the spectrum of change and process management, from the big picture, such as strategy and process design, to the granular, such as software training and project management.

Change Management

Organisations don’t change — people do! I help you identify the long-term changes that will scale and grow your business and get your staff on board by proactively addressing the political, social, and environmental contexts that present barriers to change.

Project Management

Meaningful business growth is built on good practices and procedures. I help you streamline your operations so that projects get done on time and on budget.

Process Design and Integration

Together, we’ll create and integrate the processes that can turn your business strategy into tangible success.

Critical Thinking and Problem Solving

Solutions start with thinking deeply about a problem. I take a critical lens to your operations to see what’s working and what could be improved. Then, I use that information to develop and deliver sustainable solutions that address the unique needs of your organisation.

Stakeholder Management

For change to happen smoothly, the needs of every stakeholder have to be considered. I lay the way for successful transitions by identifying the often complex and competing needs of the various stakeholders involved and offer solutions that everyone can agree on.

Software Training

The latest and greatest tech isn’t worth much if your staff can’t (or won’t) use it. I offer detailed training and support so that you get the most out of your investment in software.

Flexibility and Adaptability

In a fast-changing world, flexibility and adaptability are everything. I’m a master of pivoting in order to provide the solutions that make sense for where your business is today and where it’s going tomorrow.

Testimonials

Steph Cassidy – CEO

“We went down a sink hole trying to tackle the integration of Work Flow Max ourselves. Then, we found Anita Gisch, of Gisch Consulting and things got a whole lot simpler and a lot quicker. Anita saved us infinite hours in guesswork and immediately reduced our levels of frustration.

She understood our small business swiftly and took away the complexity of software integration. Anita is also a clear and patient trainer and developed easy to follow instructions for ongoing use. Thanks Anita.”

 

Kavan Applegate – Director

“Guymer Bailey Architects has been working with Anita Gisch for the past three years, Anita introduced to the business to Work Flow Max. We have really appreciated Anita’s ability to listen to what our objective is with our in-house software needs, as well as how she has guided us through the benefits and limitations that we had, and overcoming this with a tailored approach and patience.

She operated as part of our team and has taken the time to audit our information in Work Flow Max data to establish the gaps and inconsistencies with our knowledge, working with this has been very valuable, not only at a Director level but for our Project leaders and finance team also.

With her assistance, we now have a solution that talks to the other systems that we have in place. Anita’s on-going support has been outstanding and very much required.  Given Guymer Bailey experienced a period of rapid growth in the last two years. We needed to make adjustments with how we report data and the level that we can breakdown information.

We could not have done this without Anita.  It has been valuable to be guided through how agile the software can be with an expert.”
