The Bridge International - the bridge between strategy and operational execution


Background

Established four years ago, The Bridge International is a non-traditional and disruptive management consulting practice operating in Australia, New Zealand, UK and North America with deep client side experience across multiple industries.


The business prides itself on being practitioners; successful executives and subject matter experts who have worked in business, rather than career consultants.

“We are intentionally boutique and tailor our proposition, but have the breadth and depth of experience to offer our services at scale. We get the business world because we have walked in our client’s shoes.”

Stuart Blake, Co-Founder and Managing Director


The Bridge has a unique and fairer value model that ensures better outcomes and capability at lower cost for their clients. They know how to turn strategy into execution plans and embed long term value.

“We believe in ‘progress not perfection’ and our Triple Play philosophy ensures that you always get the whole picture – culture, customer and commercials. We don’t just hand over our findings and walk away, we deliver execution plans that drive sustained value.”

David McDonald, Co-Founder and Managing Director

Client Testimonials

“We work with numerous firms but I like that The Bridge International have been there, done that. They have industry experience in the sector. They have worked in successful large-scale businesses, They are pragmatic and able to engage with our leadership team and staff due to their ability to tell real industry practitioner stories. This supports the creation of practical plans that work.”

David Russell, retired CEO of RAA Insurance and Ex-ICA Board Member

“I’ve worked with a number of consulting firms in my career and what stands out about The Bridge team is their ability to quickly get to the core of the challenge and not only design practical solutions that work, but take strategy to execution and embed sustained partner, cultural, customer and commercial benefits. They were nimble and flexed to our needs engaging on a personal level, but also able to scale to our needs of a large-scale program.”
