About

A small advisory practice with a narrow brief

We help Victorian businesses fix the operational plumbing — the systems, handoffs and numbers that quietly decide how a week goes.

Position

Independent by design

Alanova Pty Ltd is an Australian proprietary company registered in Victoria and working from Geelong, on the western side of Port Phillip. We advise owner-operators on how their business actually runs, and what to change to make the next stage of growth less painful.

We do not resell software, take vendor commissions, or earn referral fees. That constraint is deliberate: it is the only way the shortlist we hand you can be the same shortlist we would use ourselves.

Engagements are deliberately narrow. We would rather do one review properly and leave you with something you can act on than sit in the business indefinitely.

Method

How an engagement runs

Four stages, in order. Each one has to produce something before the next begins.

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    A short conversation about where work is getting stuck and what you have already tried. If the problem is outside what we do, we say so on that call rather than writing a proposal.

  2. 02

    Observation on site

    We spend time with the people doing the work and follow a job end to end — quote, schedule, deliver, invoice — recording the process as it genuinely runs rather than as the manual describes it.

  3. 03

    Written findings

    You receive a document setting out what we observed, where effort is being lost, and a ranked list of changes with the effort and disruption each one carries. It is written to be read by your team, not just by you.

  4. 04

    Implementation support

    Optional and separately scoped. Where you want help executing the first changes, we stay involved for a defined period and then hand over cleanly.

Principles

What we hold to

  • The simplest change that works

    A rewritten checklist that the team will follow beats a platform migration they will resent. We recommend the smallest intervention that resolves the problem.

  • You keep the documentation

    Process maps, requirements and findings are yours in an editable format at the end of the engagement. Nothing is held hostage in a tool only we can open.

  • Confidentiality as standard

    Commercial information shared during a review stays between us. We are happy to sign your confidentiality agreement before the first site visit.
