Independent advisory for industrial operations

Reshaping Operational
performance.

Mulga Advisory brings practitioners — not theorists — with deep domain expertise across the full operational lifecycle. Every engagement and every recommendation is grounded in operational experience. Every outcome is measurable.

Independent

Our advice is practical and shaped only by what is right for the client.

Integrated

Operational performance is multi-domain. We deliver across three domains in one engagement.

Principal-led

Every engagement is delivered by senior consultants, grounded in operational experience.

01 / Practice

Three domains. One integrated practice.

We address the whole system,
not just the part that’s visible.

01Domain

Performance & Productivity

Making operations produce more value, more reliably, at lower cost — across the value chain.

02Domain

Maintenance & Reliability

Making assets do what they’re designed to do, when they’re needed — from strategy through execution.

03Domain

Leadership & Culture

Building the leadership, culture, routines, and capability that turn good intent into sustained performance.

Each pillar covers a category of operational problem that every asset-intensive business faces.

— How Mulga works
02 / Approach

How an engagement runs

A clear path
from problem to embedded change.

01

Scope

We define the problem and the measures of success with your leadership team before any work begins.

02

Diagnose

We get on site. Observation, interviews and data — tested against how good operations actually run.

03

Deliver

We implement alongside your operating team — change that happens, not change that is merely recommended.

04

Embed

We hand over the routines, capability and tools so the improvement holds after we leave.

03 / Engagements

Four engagement shapes

Different problems
need different engagements.

01

Diagnostic engagement

Focused assessment across one or multiple domains. Structured methodology, on-site observation, leadership interviews, board-ready report.

4–8 weeks
02

Project engagement

Multi-month delivery of a specific improvement program — turnaround, productivity initiative, operational readiness, capability development.

3–12 months
03

Embedded retainer

Mulga becomes the senior technical team. For juniors, developers and mid-tier operators who need senior counsel without permanent overhead.

Monthly
04

Independent review

On-call, board-ready review and challenge. Used by senior leaders who need a credible external perspective on operational performance or capital decisions.

On demand
04 / Working with us

The way we work

There is no template engagement.
There is a way we work.

01

Senior throughout

Your engagement runs senior from first call to last memo — no hand-off after the contract is signed.

02

Quick to mobilise

Senior practitioner on site within two weeks of engagement signing. No 30-day onboarding before work starts.

03

Plain speaking

We name issues directly. If we disagree with the client’s view, we say so. Diplomatic consulting language is not what you’re paying for.

04

Structured but practical

We bring methodology, frameworks and benchmarks — but we adapt them to the site, not the other way around.

05

Transparent on commercials

Fixed-fee engagements where appropriate. Clear day rates. No scope creep without a written variation.

06

Honest about limits

We don’t take work outside our three domains. We’ll introduce you to people we trust if your problem sits elsewhere.

None of this is unusual. It just isn’t common.
