Sectors
We work across a range of sectors, but with specific experience in the primary sector, mainly dairy and pastoral,
telecommunications, utilities and co-operative organisations.
The core challenges in primary industry, particularly the pastoral sector,
are productivity and innovation. Success in these endeavors is vital to
the ongoing competitiveness of New Zealand agriculture and its supporting
industries. Emerging challenges include sustainability in the face of
increasing environmental concerns, and global trade developments that
threaten to sideline New Zealand producers from having equitable access
to valuable markets.
We have experience advising agri-businesses and understand the value chain from the production system to offshore markets. This has included strategic advice to established processing companies, exporters, and new ventures, as well as developing innovation in the primary sector. James Morrison Consulting assisted the dairy industry to create the Strategy for Sustainable Dairy Farming 2013 2020, and also developed both the New Zealand Onion and Potato industry strategies. We have also conducted industry sector reviews, including the 2011 Forage Review and acting as special advisor to the government Primary Production Select Committee.
Whether you are marketing to farmers, or trading commodities and value-added
products offshore, we can assist you to develop a clear strategy for the
future and improve your business performance.

The business of sport demands a balance between the interests of participants
in the broader game, the desire to win at an elite level, and the need
for commercial sustainability. This challenge is invariably brought into
focus when sports organisations are contemplating changes to their season,
or introducing a new competition format.
We have worked with leading sports organisations in New Zealand, Australia
and South Africa to improve the structure of their season at an elite
level. We have also assisted in forming working partnerships between national
sports organisations, and in consulting with wider stakeholders including
players and regional administrators.
As a specific example, James Morrison Consulting advised in the establishment of the
ANZ Netball Championship.
We understand the commercial requirements of broadcasting and sponsorship
partners. We also advise on how sports organisations can best configure
their proposals to these partners without compromising their own interests.
We have particular experience in financial modeling of sports competitions,
and in developing and supporting commercial negotiations. Most importantly,
our work with sports organisations has contributed to the launch of new
sports leagues with sound commercial structures.

We have extensive experience across both electricity and gas utilities, from upstream gas production and
reticulation to the retail environment, and from electricity generation to local lines companies.
Whether you are evaluating investments, or lobbying regulatory bodies, we have the knowledge and the deep
problem-solving ability to identify and resolve the relevant issues.
We have also developed processes, operational plans and service level agreements for utility companies, and can
assist in organisational design and other specific operational areas.

Telecommunications is a global enterprise, and with our experience in different telecommunications companies
across Asia, Australia and New Zealand, as well as our in-depth knowledge of the local market, we are confident
of being able to assist your enterprise.
We have experience in developing consumer and business strategies for players in the telecommunications
industry, focusing on what drives value for customers and how companies can lead the market. This experience also
includes deep ‘systems’ modeling of the competitive market dynamics, leveraging models of customer value over time
to create insightful scenarios and understand market responses to product innovations and price competition.
In addition, we have worked with call centres and corporate sales teams, in the "engine room" of telecommunication
businesses, creating processes and incentive structures, as well as designing market research and driving service
delivery improvement.

Cooperative organisations comprise a significant part of the commercial landscape, dominating agri-business and
also representing powerful groups in retailing.
We have considerable experience advising the executives and boards of co-operative organisations in agri-business,
the retail sector and also services companies, on matters of strategy and business planning. We understand the
unique challenges that face cooperatives, particularly in managing the competing interests of transacting
shareholders.
Our broad experience with cooperatives provides the necessary perspective for insightful diagnosis and problem
solving.
Dr James Morrison maintains networks across different co-operative organisations, and is a regular presenter at
NZ Cooperatives Association seminars.
