How we’ve helped
Every organisation faces unique challenges, but the need for clear strategy, experienced leadership and practical implementation is universal.
The engagements below provide examples of the work Coriolis has undertaken across healthcare, government and the private sector.
To respect client confidentiality, details have been anonymised while preserving the nature of the challenge, our approach and the outcomes achieved.
Commercial Due Diligence for Oncology Investment
A healthcare investor sought an independent assessment of a specialist oncology provider to support an investment decision and identify future growth opportunities.
Coriolis provided commercial due diligence, assessing the market size, growth and demand, company market position, competitive landscape, workforce dynamics, referral pathways and key risks. We also identified potential acquisition advantages and synergies.
Our advice provided an evidence-based assessment of investment risks, market positioning and future growth potential, supporting informed decision-making during the transaction process.
Strategic Review of a Major Government Procurement
A service delivery organisation sought independent executive advice before responding to a significant government procurement opportunity.
Coriolis undertook a strategic review of the proposed response, evaluating service delivery models, competitive positioning and risks. Working alongside the executive team, we challenged key assumptions, strengthened the strategic narrative and identified opportunities to improve the overall proposal.
The review helped increase confidence that the submission reflected the organisation's strengths, aligned with client expectations and was positioned to maximise the likelihood of success.
Governance Design and Representation Options
Several Waikato councils commissioned independent advice to explore future governance arrangements as part of local government reform.
Coriolis developed and evaluated governance and representation models, drawing on New Zealand and international experience to assess organisational structures, local representation, delegated decision-making and democratic accountability. The work included comparative case studies, governance design principles and practical implementation considerations.
The resulting options provided elected members with an evidence-based framework to evaluate future governance arrangements while balancing regional coordination, local representation and long-term organisational effectiveness.
Organisational Transformation and Service Integration
A major local authority sought to redesign how services were planned and delivered to improve customer outcomes while achieving long-term financial sustainability.
Dr Wyss led the design and implementation of a new operating model, bringing together multiple service areas, strengthening local decision-making and aligning investment with community priorities. The programme included organisational redesign, governance support, change management and implementation planning.
The transformation improved organisational capability, strengthened service coordination and contributed to substantial ongoing operational savings while maintaining a strong focus on community outcomes.
Australian Home Care Market Strategy
A leading consulting firm engaged Coriolis as a specialist subject matter expert to provide independent market and regulatory advice as part of a strategic assessment of Australia's home care sector.
Working alongside the lead consultancy, Coriolis undertook a qualitative assessment of the Australian home care market, defining key service segments and funding models. We also evaluated the evolving regulatory environment, assessing Australian Government aged care reforms, funding mechanisms and policy changes to identify the opportunities and risks likely to influence the sector over the following two to three years. Our advice included an assessment of how regulatory change could affect market demand, revenue streams and future growth potential.
Coriolis' specialist healthcare expertise provided the project team with an independent, evidence-based understanding of market attractiveness, regulatory risk and the strategic factors shaping one of Australia's fastest-growing healthcare sectors.
Redesign of National Models of Care for Stroke Services
The Ministry of Health sought to redesign New Zealand’s national models of care for stroke to improve patient outcomes, equity of access and consistency of service delivery.
Coriolis assessed international and domestic models, reviewed current service pathways and engaged extensively with clinicians, health leaders and stroke services across New Zealand.
The work combined evidence, frontline experience and system-level analysis to identify opportunities for improvement.
The resulting models of care provided a clearer national framework for delivering coordinated, evidence-based stroke services, with a stronger focus on timely access, clinical quality and improved outcomes for patients.
Executive Advisory for Healthcare Leader
A healthcare executive sought independent strategic advice to support business growth, strengthen commercial performance and navigate an increasingly complex healthcare environment.
Coriolis provided one-to-one executive advisory support, working alongside the executive to identify growth opportunities, evaluate emerging market trends and strengthen strategic decision-making. Drawing on deep experience across healthcare delivery, funding and executive leadership, we provided practical advice on market dynamics, funder relationships, operational performance, business development and the commercial drivers that underpin sustainable growth. The engagement also explored strategic priorities, organisational capability and implementation options to support long-term success.
By combining independent strategic thinking with real-world executive experience, Coriolis helped the executive build greater confidence in growth opportunities, understand the changing healthcare landscape and make informed decisions that strengthened organisational performance and long-term value creation.
