Murray Irrigation Limited | 2024 - 25 | Strategy and Implementation, Commercial Transformation and Legal Advice, Water Policy Synthesis

Project Overview

Murray Irrigation Limited (MIL) sought to update their corporate strategy to reflect the evolving landscape of water management in the southern connected basin, and position the company to respond to emerging challenges. Stakeholder expectations are dynamic and MIL is proactive in setting direction and innovative initiatives to meet these expectations in partnership with Confluence.

Method and Approach

Confluence worked closely with the MIL Board and Executive Leadership Team to update the corporate strategy in alignment with industry best practice. Leveraging the CMC Strategy - an integrated strategy approach anchoring all analysis, decisions, and initiatives to a clear vision statement, ensuring every strategic action directly contributes to the organisation’s long‑term ambition - Confluence guided MIL through a comprehensive strategy update process to produce the MIL Corporate Strategy.

Outcome

The MIL Corporate Strategy provides the organisation clarity regarding their purpose, target outcomes and the gearing MIL have adopted to achieve that. The MIL Corporate Strategy has already served as the launchpad for key strategic initiatives such as Water Solutions, Restoring Murray Waterways Stage 5, ICT Transformation and the Foundational Asset Condition Assessment.
