    Over an 8 year period, and continuing, have assisted USAID and Miyahuna (Jordan’s largest water utility serving about 4 million people) to reduce non-revenue water there, an existential issue for that country. The work included concept development and facilitating an 18-month proof-ofconcept phase as an embedded advisor within both USAID and Miyahuna, and now hands-on assistance in the implementation. Project value to date is AUD 100 million.

  • Sydney Water
    Facilitated a process whereby teams comprising 16 senior managers identified how each main function compared to international best practice, and what changes were required at Sydney Water to emulate such performance considering Sydney Water’s unique circumstances. Changes identified were valued at 30% savings while simultaneously offering improving service and environmental performance. Case study published in the Journal of the American Water Works Association.
