Who we are

About Blue Crane Consulting Group

Blue Crane was established in 2017 to help organisations improve how they work and perform.

Our work spans strategy execution, governance, management systems, operational processes, technology, data, organisational knowledge and human capability.

We draw on Operational Excellence, systems thinking, Lean Six Sigma, process architecture, analytics, change and technology according to the problem we are solving.

Our practitioners bring deep experience across organisational transformation, industry, science, engineering, technology, education and executive leadership.

We advise. We execute. We develop capability. We implement.

Meet Stephanie

Stephanie Naidoo is a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt who has led operational and digital transformation inside three of the world’s most demanding organisations – as a global transformation leader at GE, a digital transformation executive for Citigroup in Japan, and head of group productivity strategy at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. She is also an educator and Chair of Business Excellence Australia.

Through Blue Crane Consulting Group, she now brings that same discipline to organisations building operational excellence as a capability that lasts, not a delivered program – across government, health, education, insurance and member organisations, and multiple university partnerships.

Her current work explores systems thinking, organisational listening and resilient operating systems. She is undertaking doctoral research connected to this field.

How we work

We begin by understanding. Not recommending.

We follow evidence. Not assumptions.

We work where the work happens. Not only where it is discussed.

We improve systems. Not symptoms.

We transfer capability deliberately.

We stay long enough to know whether change is taking hold.

Expertise assembled around the problem

Blue Crane practitioners bring deep experience across organisational transformation, Operational Excellence, industry, science, engineering, technology, education and executive leadership.

We do not expect one professional discipline to understand every dimension of a complex organisation. We assemble the expertise the problem requires.
