About Strategic Business Development
Strategic Business Development (ACN: 078 670 210) is an Australian based business advisory firm specialising in the analysis, planning and profit development of businesses.

We have had extensive experience applying similar processes to both private and public sector organisations.

Company Principal, Russell Cummings, has had over 20 years comprehensive experience as a management consultant working throughout Australia especially the ACT, NSW, Queensland and Victoria. He is currently coaching business clients in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Strategic Business Development focuses primarily on working closely with clients to ensure that plans are realistic, actionable and have the capacity to significantly impact on the bottom line profitability of the organisations and individuals involved.

Detailed analysis and planning systems have been developed "in-house" and are used to maximise results while minimising costs. Many of these systems will be available through SBD On-Line.

Strategic Business Development is licensed as a Mindshop Facilitator. The Mindshop network provides significant advantages in terms of proven systems , world’s best practice, and products and access to an International network of Business Development Consultants.

Strategic Business Development has an extensive network of Associates with a diverse range of technical skills that are available to complement the expertise of the project team as required. This provides the flexibility to tackle challenges normally outside the scope and capacity of a firm of this size without the cost burden imposed by the overheads of a larger organisation.
