Book a discovery call. It takes 30 minutes. No preparation required, no commitment, and no follow-up from a sales team. It is a conversation to understand your situation, work out whether D1 Advisory is the right fit, and if it is, to agree on what a sensible scope looks like.

Yes. All engagements operate under professional confidentiality obligations. D1 Advisory does not disclose client information, share commercially sensitive details, or use client data for any purpose outside the scope of the engagement. An NDA can be executed prior to any engagement that requires it, which is standard for financial services, government, and organisations with material confidentiality obligations.

It depends on the scope. A single advisory conversation for a specific purchasing decision can be completed in a few hours. A process design project or capability assessment typically runs across several weeks. D1 Advisory does not lock clients into retainers or long-term contracts by default. Engagements are scoped to what is actually needed.

D1 Advisory has experience across government and public sector, financial services and superannuation, health and community services, infrastructure and built environment, not-for-profit and incorporated associations, education and professional development, technology and professional services, and corrections and justice. The sector experience section of this page shows the types of work delivered in each area.

A management consultant typically works at the strategic level and presents recommendations. D1 Advisory works at the operational level and delivers outcomes. The difference is between being told what to do and having someone help you do it. D1 Advisory is a practitioner, not a theorist. The advice comes from having been in the room for these conversations, on both sides of the table.

Yes. D1 Advisory specifically works with small to medium businesses that do not have a full-time procurement function but still make significant purchasing decisions. You do not need to spend a minimum amount or have a formal procurement team in place. If a purchasing decision matters to your business, this is the right conversation to have.

Procurement is the process of deciding what to buy, from whom, on what terms, and at what cost. Most businesses do it every day without recognising it as a discipline. When it goes wrong, it costs money, time, and in some cases professional relationships. Procurement advisory means having a specialist in your corner who has no stake in which supplier you choose, who can help you define your requirements clearly before you go to market, evaluate your options properly, and commit to the right supplier on the right terms.
