Special Forces Planning, Management and Leadership Company Launched

There is no denying that Special Forces soldiers and commanders must undergo the most rigorous of selection, training and employment regimes. Their ability to plan complex operations, utilize expensive and unique resources, harness specialized skills and outthink their opponents in order to achieve strategic objectives are all essential elements of their daily lives.

With a lot invested in their training and the outcome of their missions, it is essential they get results. Until recently, much of this skill, experience and acquired expertise was only accessible to select military commanders and government sectors. With the launch of a new commercial business, led by former Special Forces commanders, these highly effective planning, management and leadership solutions are now available for business leaders and managers.

“The assumption by many of those that are unaware of the extensive training and experience gained by special forces personnel in the areas of planning, management and leadership is that they have no relevance to commercial business practices. Increasingly business leaders are required to make strategic decisions with limited data, coordinate diverse and complicated business units and provide leadership through routine and crisis circumstances. Special Forces systems are ideally suited to provide superior results to business leaders in a variety of situations.” commented Craig Millen, Director and co-founder of MRD Consultancy.

Craig, along with his founding partners, share extensive training and operational experience with Australia’s premier Special Forces unit, the Special Air Services (SAS) Regiment. Each of the directors have spent over a decade in Special Forces roles and have served in the majority of operational campaigns engaged by the Australian Defence Force (ADF) over the past twenty years. These range from UN campaigns in Rwanda, defensive operations in East Timor, deep penetration reconnaissance operations in Iraq and the high-risk combat operations in Afghanistan.

“This is not a trial or start up concept for us” noted Craig Millen. “While the business unit is new, we have been providing these products and services to an array of multinational business and senior executives across the world for the past 10 years.” he went on to say. “This is just the first time we have merged our collective experience under the one, independent entity to continue to deliver unique, innovative and superior results to businesses”.

The executive team of MRD Consultancy has to date delivered impressive results such as establishing start up operations for an energy sector business in the emerging market of PNG, directing business support services across Asia Pacific, providing leadership support to expanding business operations across the Middle East and project managing services in support of one of Australia’s largest energy sector construction projects.
