Our Clients
Some of the Clients we've had the pleasure of working with.
I have worked with OPL on a number of organisational design and development projects. They have always quickly understood and adapted to the priorities and culture of our organisation. Their team work well with our senior staff, service professionals and council members to respond to our needs and deliver our objectives. OPL act as trusted advisors and constructively challenge us to ensure we gain maximum benefit from their strategic insight and advice. I would recommend OPL for their skills, experience and customer focus. As a supplier and partner, they are effective and a pleasure to work with.
