The Telstra Business Awards are a long standing, exclusive platform that recognise Australia’s best businesses, provide expert advice, open networking opportunities and help them gain the credibility to take their business to the next level.
“The ACT winners are shining examples of businesses doing great things in new and effective ways for their customers,” Ackland said. “They have inspired us all with their resilience, courage and incredible commitment.”
According to Ackland, coordinate Group’s resilience, business intelligence, and focus on business analytics are its recipe for success. “They look at the heart of what drives business, the future of the organisation and how to use data to best inform their decisions. They have successfully placed their business within the context of Canberra and fostered an approach to local clients that works.”
