I cannot recommend The Yellow Company highly enough. Their exceptional stakeholder management and ability to assimilate and understand our complex organisation and people within it was vital to the successful rollout of our Right Fit for Risk (RFFR) project. The Yellow Company took the time to understand our project on all levels, and their expertise in content, change management, and internal communications were invaluable. As a diverse and complex NFP organisation, we felt that Yellow truly understood our needs and has similar social values to us, which made all the difference in the project’s success. Due to their outstanding work on the RFFR project, we have engaged the Yellow Company as our trusted project management advisor for our 2023 re-brand. This is a critical project for the success of WDEA Works’ future, and we have no doubt that Yellow will help us get it right. Thank you, Yellow Company, for your exceptional work and expertise!

Tom Scarborough

Are-able, Chief Executive Officer

After one of the most devastating floods Wujal Wujal has experienced, Yellow rapidly mobilised into town – supporting Council and community, even before essential services had been restored. Yellow’s strong relationships across government in the disaster management sector were critical to kickstarting our complex recovery journey. With their understanding of the DRFA and recovery governance, a willingness to put local priorities forward and strongly advocate for our best outcomes, Council had a trusted partner in Yellow.

Kiley Hanslow

Wujal Wujal Aboriginal Shire Council, Chief Executive Officer

We had a fantastic experience collaborating with Yellow on our Evacuation Centre Guides. From the start, their team demonstrated genuine care and a deep understanding of our region. Their expertise made the entire process feel seamless. We are truly grateful for Yellow’s support and the high quality of their work. Thank you, team, for your dedication and commitment!

Michelle Collins

Western Downs Regional Council, Community Recovery and Resilience Officer

Redland City Council recently partnered with Yellow to deliver a live evaluation during our recovery exercise. Yellow were engaged throughout the exercise planning process and were instrumental in shaping the exercise, bringing together expertise to support the exercise participants. Yellow not only administered pre- and post-exercise surveys to measure attendees’ understanding of the QDMA but also evaluated the agency’s capacity and capability to support the Council. The evaluation report provided by Yellow was the most comprehensive and insightful I have ever seen. The detailed analysis in the final report has given us valuable insights, helping us to significantly improve our disaster recovery arrangements.

Michael Tait

Western Downs Regional Council, Community Recovery and Resilience Officer

I would like to express the outstanding governance The Yellow Company provided on the Future Drought Fund – Regional Drought Resilience Planning project. Governance is a crucial element to the successful delivery of a project. Through the structure, processes and decision-making models established by The Yellow Company, the pilot round of this project has been given every opportunity to effectively accomplish defined milestones within the Project Management Plan. Through establishment of clearly defined roles and responsibilities within project coordination, planning and control, The Yellow Company has supported equitable and inclusive collaboration between the many stakeholders involved at varying levels of the project. The governance employed by The Yellow Company has fostered continual review and improvement of the project which has been critical to the success of the pilot round as well as providing a solid foundation for the next stage.

Vern Rudwick

Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Director - Drought Policy and Response

I was part of the engagement team for two regions within Round 1 of the Regional Drought Resilience Planning project. Trying to engage on drought when much of the region was flooding proved challenging! As a result, The Yellow Company and team were able to support me as the engagement person on the ground and take elements of our engagement online. This allowed the project to continue on time, ensure that people were able to access the information and provide input to the early stages of the plan. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with The Yellow Company team. They managed to deliver a complex project under challenging time frames with a state-wide group of people, no small feat!
