Who I Work With
Testimonials
"Bernie has significant knowledge and experience in leading healthcare transformational change. He recently worked together with our teams at Central Adelaide Local Health Network with a key focus on developing capabilities to build a sustainable healthcare service. Bernie worked together with the CALHN Allied Health Leadership team with a specific focus on supporting us to demonstrate our value add to the organisation through enterprise leadership. Critical to Bernie’s success is his capacity to get in beside people to lead, support and develop the skills required to develop and embed a “learning organisation” culture. This will enable us to provide an efficient, effective and sustainable health service for all of our stakeholders."
Ellen Mills, Interim Director Allied Health Operations at Central Adelaide Local Health Network
I have worked with a lot of external consultants however none have been as exceptional as Bernie. Bernie has been influential in his approaches, working alongside staff at all levels assisting them to unlearn entrenched actions and beliefs creating the space for new learning and progression. Bernie has been integral in the beginnings of the CALHN turnaround, without his leadership this would not have happened. Too often the changes consultants make are not done with sustainability built-in, this is not the case with Bernie’s approach. Has been an absolute pleasure to have worked and learnt from Bernie.
Su White, Director Clinical Services at Calvary North
Bernie and his team have worked closely with myself and other leads in CALHN to see the world differently and adapt to a dramatic change in thinking to improve ways of working in a disruptive and challenging recovery plan. Bernie has challenged us to think differently and adapt to improve practice. He even helped with the sceptics in my team! We respect and value his contribution during a very tough time. Adaptive change is always a challenge and I recommend his team to get you to think differently.
Donna Stevens, Nurse Lead Heart and Lung Program at Central Adelaide local health network SA Health
