A.G. HARRISON & ASSOCIATES has operated
as a consultancy organisation for the past twenty five (25) years, specialising in
assisting medium, small and micro business across a wide range of industries in
many areas, including, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, product
development and reselling along with the vexed issues surrounding Occupational Health Safety & Welfare management.
The organization operates as an individual
consultancy service with Mr. A.G. (Tony) Harrison as the lead consultant for
all primary work undertaken, utilising established external specialist services
for clients, where additional specialist services are required such as Legal,
Accounting, Intellectual Property protection, etc.
The consultancy business developed as a
result of the extensive experience Tony Harrison has gained in a wide range of
industries at senior levels, both in Australia and abroad and the reputation
Tony has to successfully deliver projects on time and on budget.
Tony Harrison has a long history as a provider
of services to both State and Federal Government organisations, starting with
the Small Business Corporation of South Australia in1988.
The consultancy has deliberately been
maintained as an individual direct service provider, to ensure the projects
undertaken are always under the direct control of the senior consultant, thus
ensuring the best possible outcome for the project

A.G. HARRISON & ASSOCIATES specializes in
the provision of “hands on” services, where the emphasis is on assisting the
client business principal and his management and employees to understand the
methodology and systems that are being put in place, as a result of a
predetermined consultant brief.
The “Hands On” principal, particularly in the
small business arena (companies with less than 100 employees), is critical to
sustaining long term positive outcomes. Part of the process is the “ENTERPRISE
REVIEW PROCESS” which is specifically designed for each client to suit their
particular organisation and allows the client to effectively manage business
development, change and a range of other key issues that will have an ongoing
impact on the business.

assistance that is provided to clients, however, each client has an individual
operation and as such, there may well be situations that are peculiar to a
particular business that require thinking “outside of the square” for the best
results for that client, in these cases, the “hands on” philosophy is critical
to solid and successful outcomes.
