Hyder Consulting has acquired Sd+ D Consult, an advisory service specialising in the strategy, economics and operations underpinning successful supply chains and infrastructure investment.
At the heart of this value proposition is the provision of commercially valuable and viable solutions that optimises client positioning, investment return and project execution.
Combining Hyder’s multi-sector, multi-disciplinary approach with Sd+D expertise in transport logistics and supply chains ensures a compelling, comprehensive client offer relevant to key transport sectors such as ports, shipping, road, rail, intermodal and warehousing.
Since its inception in 2001, the Sd+D team has been credited with influential work across Australia and the Asia Pacific, notably some 400+ projects successfully delivered to the public, private and non-profit sectors. The team has also had membership on the influential Advisory Panels for Infrastructure Australia and the National Transport Commission.
Its capacity to engage, persuade and influence at the highest levels of government and business is confirmed by the diversity of significant relationships this team has cultivated over the years. The full breadth of services ranges from government policy advice to private sector investment, from major, multi-agency engagements to rapid tactical advice. The client base has spanned: multi-jurisdictions of government and state-owned corporations; industry associations; large freight generators and attractors; exporters/ importers; multi-sector domestic companies; and freight transport and storage infrastructure service providers.
The work of the team is defined within four key focal areas—markets, chains, strategies and firms—united under a vision of helping clients achieve forward-thinking positioning, capabilities and strategies in relation to their transport or logistics aspirations .
The team further takes a multi-dimensional view that considers academic, commercial, policy, and on-ground implications so the client always gets comprehensive and well thought out solutions. Throughout this process, the client’s ambitions and reputation is never underplayed even while the team strives to deliver on the promise of ‘industry defining’ strategic advisory that honours the client’s priorities and requirements.
