Small Business - Strategic Advisory and Executive Support Services - Badgingarra

Client: Barnes Hydraulic Services (BHS)

Year: 2026 (ongoing)

Project Overview

BHS, a regional business based in Badgingarra, engaged Wander to provide ongoing strategic advisory support during a significant period of business growth and operational transition.

As the business scaled, our engagement focused on helping create clearer strategic direction, strengthen decision-making and provide space for broader business reflection outside day-to-day operational pressures.

Strategic Direction & Business Planning

Wander facilitated an initial strategic planning session designed to explore:

• business goals;

• operational challenges;

• growth opportunities; and

• long-term business direction.

  
  

Through strategic discussion, questioning and external perspective, Wander helped translate broad ideas and ambitions into a clearer strategic framework for the business. This included development of the organisation’s vision, mission and strategic pillars.

The process created a stronger foundation to help guide future growth, operational priorities and decision-making as the business entered its next phase.

Ongoing Strategic Advisory Support

Following the initial strategy development process, BHS continued to engage Wander through ongoing quarterly strategic advisory meetings.

These sessions provide space to:

• reflect on current business priorities;

• discuss emerging operational challenges;

• explore opportunities and ideas; and

• test decisions against the organisation’s broader strategic direction.

Acting as an independent sounding board, Wander provides external perspective, strategic questioning and practical business insight to help support clearer thinking, stronger accountability and more confident decision-making during an active period of business growth and transition.

Rather than driving the business direction itself, Wander’s role has been to help create space for reflection, challenge assumptions and support the business owner to think strategically while navigating operational growth and change.

Client Feedback

"Working with Jade and Claire from Wander has been incredibly valuable for our business. They have helped me take the ideas, plans and goals that were in my head and turn them into a clear, practical direction for the business. I have really appreciated their ability to think outside the box, ask the right questions, and challenge my thinking in a constructive way. I feel much more confident about our strategic direction because of the work we have done together."

The Outcome

This project highlights Wander’s strength in strategic advisory, business planning and ongoing executive support, helping regional businesses navigate growth, operational change and long-term decision-making with greater clarity, confidence and strategic focus.
