About Us

JCG is a boutique specialist strategic and performance optimisation advisory firm.

It was established in 1997 in Melbourne, Australia and now services Australian and global clients through its commercial and professional relationships and its access to superb technical experts.

Its markets include public, private and government clients; for profit and not for profit organisations; trading and professional businesses; large and small; start-ups and multi-nationals.

 

There are two types of strategic advice: the advice that comes from those from within the area that is being advised, and advice from those from outside the area being advised.

The former suffers from being too close to the problem (otherwise wouldn’t the problems be solved?) while the latter, bring solutions from a range of contexts and industries that can be successfully applied to the area under review. JCG is the latter – that is, we have worked in virtually all industries bringing innovative, relevant and successful perspectives to deliver client requirements.
