Profile
Established in 2001, Chris Reside's corporate communications
and good
governance practice has built a solid reputation for cost effective
quality outcomes. Chris' clients are predominantly small / medium
sized enterprises
which have short-term needs for communications /
governance assistance, but which do not have suitably skilled
in-house resources available.
Chris' diverse assignments have included:
Corporate communications
- annual reports (writing and editing)
- community newspapers (writing and editing)
- key note speeches
- municipal ‘Council Plans'
- training material
Good governance
- dispute mediation
- management reports and discussion papers
- professional conduct investigations (research, interviews, sanctions)
- organizational reviews (research, stakeholder consultation, recommendations for change.)
- plain English constitutions (Rules of Association)
- stakeholder satisfaction surveys (preparation, distribution and analysis.)
Diverse management experience
Chris has enjoyed a diverse senior management career at several
metropolitan and rural local governments (Victorian and Tasmanian) and he draws upon this experience to ‘value
add' to all freelance assignments. This is a benefit not afforded by
his competitors.
Chris is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Abbeyfield
Australia Limited, a national not-for-profit community housing provider.
