Our advisers include experienced executives who have led large organisations, significant transformations and complex change programmes themselves.

Rather than delivering theoretical recommendations, we focus on practical solutions that can be implemented successfully.

While independently owned, Coriolis Consulting works closely with Coriolis Research.

Together we combine strategic advisory expertise with high-quality market research and commercial analysis, allowing clients to make evidence-based decisions.

We support organisations with:

• Corporate strategy

• Business strategy

• Growth strategy

• Market entry strategy

• Commercial strategy

• Digital strategy

• AI strategy

• Organisational strategy

• Turnaround strategy

• Operating model design

Many organisations develop good strategies but struggle with execution.

Common reasons include:

• unclear priorities

• limited organisational alignment

• unrealistic implementation plans

• inadequate governance

• insufficient capability or resources

• poor change management

Successful strategy requires both clear direction and disciplined implementation.

Yes.

Implementation is one of our core strengths. We work alongside leadership teams to establish governance, redesign operating models, manage programmes and embed sustainable change.

Commercial due diligence assesses whether a business is attractive from a strategic and commercial perspective.

It typically considers:

• market size

• growth potential

• competition

• customer demand

• pricing

• risks

• future opportunities

Yes.

We support investors, boards and corporate acquirers with commercial due diligence, market due diligence and strategic assessments across multiple sectors.

Absolutely.

Many clients engage us before acquisitions to understand future market opportunities, customer demand, competitive positioning and potential risks before making investment decisions.

Not necessarily.

Some organisations require a dedicated AI strategy, while others simply need AI incorporated into their broader business strategy or transformation programme.

The right approach depends on organisational maturity and objectives.

Yes.

When implemented thoughtfully, AI can reduce administrative effort, improve decision making, automate repetitive activities and enhance customer experiences.

However, technology alone rarely delivers lasting value without accompanying process redesign.

Yes.

Our team has extensive experience across public and private healthcare, including hospitals, primary care, diagnostic imaging, oncology, community services, aged care and health system transformation.

We have worked extensively with several New Zealand funders, including Health NZ, ACC, Pharmac and insurers.

Our work includes:

• health strategy

• service redesign

• operating models

• commercial due diligence

• business growth

• organisational transformation

• AI readiness

• performance improvement

Yes.

We work with councils, council-controlled organisations and government agencies on governance, organisational design, strategic planning, service delivery, operating models and major transformation programmes.

Yes.

We have experience supporting governance reviews, organisational redesign, service integration and local representation models, helping organisations balance regional coordination with effective local decision making.

Yes.

Growth often requires more than increased sales. We help organisations identify new markets, refine customer propositions, improve pricing, strengthen operating models and build sustainable growth strategies.

Yes.

Effective pricing should reflect both customer willingness to pay and the organisation's cost structure.

In most cases, pricing is most effective when developed alongside market positioning, competitive strategy and customer value propositions.

Organisational transformation involves fundamentally improving how an organisation operates.

This may include changes to strategy, governance, operating models, technology, workforce, customer experience and organisational capability.

Common reasons include:

• lack of executive alignment

• unclear objectives

• insufficient stakeholder engagement

• poor programme governance

• underestimating organisational change

• focusing on technology rather than business outcomes

We work across sectors where complexity is high and execution matters, including:

• Healthcare

• Local government

• Central government

• Infrastructure

• Professional services

• Insurance

• Community services

Yes.

We support organisations of different sizes, from growing businesses to large government agencies and national organisations.

Every engagement begins with understanding your objectives and challenges.

Depending on your needs, we may undertake a diagnostic, strategic review, commercial assessment or workshop before agreeing the most appropriate scope of work.

The best place to start is with a conversation.

We'll discuss your objectives, the challenges you're facing and whether we're the right partner to help. If we're not, we'll tell you.
