A Little Context
Free Flight Emu recognises organisational values as core strengths upon which to build purpose-oriented sustainability, and we enable access by purpose-oriented initiatives to these strategy, sustainability and governance services by pricing fairly.
Free Flight Emu is operated by Chris Walker, an experienced strategic leader, with over ten-years’ experience in service and process re/design, change management and strategic leadership, and stakeholder relationship management. Chris has been most often called upon to steer organisations through turbulent or changing times, and started the organisation in recognition of, and response to, the complex challenges faced by not-for-profits and socially-oriented ventures as they transition into new market-environments, for which many are under-equipped.
Free Flight Emu blends an appreciation of diverse mindsets with data-informed decision-making, and has established a reputation for meaningful consultation, rigorous and objective analysis, and presenting opportunities which are pragmatic, sustainable, and values-aligned.

"...Chris is also values driven and this shows in the way he keeps the focus on the purpose of the work he does. It's not about 'ticking boxes' but about finding 'real world', workable solutions that are aimed at delivering great services to people (clients/Participants), and at the same time creating working environments that are healthy, efficient and sustainable."
Jenny
Trainer and Consultant
"I 100% recommend Chris. He has a great depth of knowledge and produced great results - I will not hesitate to use his services in the future.
Chris is a genuinely friendly and approachable person, and helped me in coping with what was a very new process outside of my realm of knowledge. He was absolutely on top of what was required to assist me, and in fact produced results above my expectations.
His extensive expertise, knowledge, and attention to detail inspired confidence, and his cooperative, open dialogue was non-judgmental, positive, and constructive. Without his depth of knowledge and understanding of the area, as well as his positive delivery of what was required, I would have been lost.
I trusted him implicitly to deliver results, and deliver he did! The final product was consistent with my values and beliefs, and it identified and expanded on strategic and operational issues which I would not have considered.
My knowledge bases, and my results, were richer and further developed as a result of this, and the product which resulted was a testament to Chris’ skill and expertise.
Thank you Chris!!!!"
