“I enjoyed the exercise and the resultant learnings. The inputs were appropriate and the timeline reasonable to a “real life” situation. In my opinion, there was the right balance between servicing the input timeline and discussion about “what we would do”. I believe it is important that all stakeholders participate in such exercises, and it was fantastic to be invited to the table.”

“It was great to be involved in Bushfire Exercise "Alinta" as a Transport representative in the RFS SOC last week - A challenging exercise and and a great way to test our processes, procedures and the amazing & innovative technologies … that we have in the Transport Emergency Crisis and Coordination Hub (TECCH). Also, shout out to Dave Owens and your team for pulling this mammoth exercise together!”

Ken Moroney AO APM

"Risk-e Business Consultants facilitated a series of workshops for the National Recovery and Resilience Agency in June 2022 that tested national capability in the aftermath of catastrophic weather events. He was required to work on complex subject material with many moving parts, and we were able to trust him fully in this. In our line of work, timelines and schedules change frequently, and Dave was always very accommodating of that. Dave is a great facilitator – he kept participants enthused, motivated and focused on the task at hand, and reported on the outcomes very shortly after the sessions. His experience and confidence in the emergency management area was very evident."
