Peter McLaughlin

Peter McLaughlin

Director and Principal Peter McLaughlin has a vocation of over 45 years working in the Human Services Sector. This has included operational leadership in Health, Disability, Aged Care, Community Services, Social Housing, and Local Government, working in a policy environment with the Australian Institute of Health & Welfare and working as a visiting fellow in Health Science Management with Charles Sturt University.

Peter has transitioned his executive leadership experience, skills, and knowledge to establish Calibrations Consulting in 2014.

At Calibrations Consulting we have the view that Human Service organisations know their business and have a genuine desire to improve the lives of those clients that they support. However, they are not always able to stop working in the business and dealing with the daily challenges to strategically research and plan their services or to holistically look at their organisations in a way that allows continual renewal and improvement.

We work with organisations to develop a clear connection between Strategy, Operations and Culture and show how Leadership and Management practice shapes the cultural reality of an organisation.

The work of Calibrations consulting supports the objective of Human Service Organisations of maintaining a commitment to improving the overall quality of life for their clients. To do this we believe Organisations need to be in a constant state of learning about why they exist and checking that they are creating relevance for their stakeholders. We like to think of our work as helping organisations Learn to Learn.
