Testimonials

“180 Degrees Consulting UNSW received the ‘Best Project (Runner-up)’ award for our project with BBM, a non-for-profit organisation dedicated to empowering young people through leadership development and international work experiences via the BBM Global Footprints Scholarship. Our project delivered a longitudinal Social Return on Investment (SROI) model for the Global Footprints Scholarship Program including a handover document and Excel tutorial video, a bottom-up market sizing of surviving ‘Little Brother’ descendants in Australia, and one- and five-year post-program survey templates to facilitate long-term impact tracking.”

~From 180DC UNSW Branch (Global Runner-up, Best Projects Awards2024).
The team did a phenomenal work to conduct a thorough qualitative and quantitative analysis of the market opportunity. They had a deep understanding of our company and took this into account during their recommendations. It must have been challenging to gather adequate analysis in the nascent market which continued to develop as the project timeline took place, however, the team was able to adapt quickly and factor in such evolving circumstances to provide us with practical recommendations.

~ From Wateroam, a client of 180DC Singapore (Kent Ridge) (GlobalWinner, Best Project Awards 2024).
“Through our project with DART Institute Inc., 180 Degrees Consulting WA supportedAustralia’s only dedicated evidence-based Family and Domestic Violence training centre tostrengthen how it measures and uses impact, program and broader organisation data. Wedelivered a practical evaluation framework that enabled DART to improve training quality,demonstrate outcomes, and scale its reach and programs to better support practitioners and communities. The support and funding provided through the Global Consulting Awards haveenabled our branch to extend this impact, continue supporting DART's implementation of ourproject, and pursue new outcomes for clients addressing complex social challenges.”

~From 180DC University of Western Australia (Global Winner, Best Projects Awards2025)
"Being part of the 2025 Global Consulting Awards was an incredibly meaningful experience forour branch. Preparing and presenting the Bambrew project brought our team closer,strengthened our consulting approach, and translated months of work into real, impact-drivenoutcomes. Winning this award felt less like a finish line and more like a stepping stone thatmotivates us to keep raising our standards. Seeing the creativity of other branches was equallyinspiring and pushed us to grow further. Many members also gained real-world exposure thatshaped their consulting journeys. So, just a huge thank you to GLT for the opportunity-lookingforward to many more such experiences ahead!"
