Mandy Scott-Mackie

Scott-Mackie Limited

Strategist - Business Advocate - Director

An experienced Manager and Director, Mandy Scott-Mackie originally established the company when she recognised that many businesses have a need for external assistance in shaping their organisation. For more than 20 years she has worked with private and listed companies in assisting them to achieve sustainable growth. Best practice in business, good governance and economic development are her passion.

Her ongoing involvement as a founder and Director of several commercial enterprises supports her ability to relate to Boards, business owners and managers in her capacity as a strategic advisor to them – she has walked in their shoes. Mandy knows and understands the language of her clients.

Mandy does not profess to be an expert in all areas but she does know the people that are! She, therefore, has several specialist associates with whom she works when their specific expertise are required for a client; these include financial, IT and legal.

Services Overview

Strategy and Change

Mandy will carry out an in-depth, strategic review and broad analysis of your business and then make strategic recommendations for the company, advise tactics and provide action points. If required, she will then work with your business, as part of your team, in implementing those changes. She will ‘get people on the bus’ and work with you to achieve your vision through collaboration and planned implementation.

Facilitation

Working with the Board and Owners, Mandy will facilitate meetings, reviews and in-depth strategic discussions, leaving you with detailed Plans to take you into the future.

Systems and Structure

Mandy is keen to work with you, in your business, to create change by putting the structures and systems in place along with robust reporting and accountability in order to release you from working ‘in’ the business at an operational level, to working ‘on’ it at a strategic level.

Projects

From research to market intelligence or a short-sharp issue, Mandy can work on a specific project for you, bringing targeted support in a particular aspect of your business.

Governance

Mandy believes that robust governance is crucial to an organisation. To quote Wayne Norrie, Chair of NZTE, “A Board should operate as the headlights on the front of a vehicle – looking out into the distance to see what is coming and preparing for it accordingly – rather than sitting inside the vehicle, monitoring the controls.” An organisation that is transitioning from its owner/manager currently functioning in an operational capacity towards a strategic leadership role may begin the governance journey with an Advisory Board first. Mandy will assist you in establishing and maintaining good governance for your organisation.
