Mark Reader Consulting provides consultancy services exclusively to social housing providers and partnering agencies.As Principal, Mark has over 30 years of experience in the housing industry across both the Australian and UK system. Mark has a keen understanding of the current social and affordable housing environment and the challenges faced by social housing providers - increasing demand, more complex clients, agility, innovation, engagement, alignment, recruitment, motivation, partnership, transformation. As well as the challenges, these new demands bring with them countless new opportunities, and the continual need to creatively problem solve. Mark has long held the view that, given current policy settings, the community housing sector, in partnership with Government and the private sector, is the only delivery mechanism that can rise and meet these challenges.Mark Reader Consulting provides both strategic and operational advice helping clients to firstly position themselves and then respond effectively to changing government housing policy. This advice ensures clients are competitive in tender bids, that they have the purpose, culture and systems to implement programs successfully and finally the capacity to seamlessly transition new programs into a business as usual state.Government Tender Assessment Panels and Contract Managers want substance, long term commitment, client outcomes and value for money. Leveraging the experience gained from 20 years working in senior positions for Housing NSW, Mark advises with a deep understanding of the perspective and mechanics of Government. What is it that Government really wants from the deal? Who are the key influencers and decision makers? How can a provider best position itself for success and impact?
