Australian Enterprise Awards 2026 | 56 Project Advisory Group (PAG) is a boutique consultancy with a powerful mission: to deliver tangible outcomes on projects that matter. By empowering clients and focusing on impactful projects, PAG has redefined what it means to be a strategic partner in the Asia-Pacific region. We spoke with Val Matthews as the firm celebrates its double success at the Australian Enterprise Awards 2026. Delivering Results That Matter: The PAG Story Project Advisory Group was founded when Val Matthews and Alfredo Brockmann identified a gap in the market. While large firms dominated, there was a need for a consultancy offering world-class expertise with the agility, speed, and personalised service of a boutique advisory. Val, a globally recognised leader in Project Management, PMO and transformation, brought extensive experience, having led significant programmes across the UK, Australia, and the Middle East. Alfredo, an expert strategist with a global background in major sporting events and government agencies, complemented this with his ability to manage high-stakes environments. Together, they created a firm that doesn’t just advise but partners with clients, embedding themselves in the heart of every project to ensure successful outcomes. Unlike larger firms, PAG operates without the burden of excessive bureaucracy. This enables a client-first approach with a focus on: • Specialised Expertise: Decades of experience across aviation, infrastructure, security, and investment sectors. • Relentless Innovation: Delivering solutions that align directly with client strategies, not theoretical frameworks. • Collaborative Partnership: PAG works closely within clients’ organisations, fostering trust and delivering sustainable results. • Outcome-Driven Success: Success is measured by operational efficiency, cost optimisation, and strategic transformation. Responding to emergent industry trends PAG turns challenges into opportunities, using tools like Advanced Analytics and Scenario Modelling to enable datadriven decision-making. The firm helps organisations embed ESG strategies, transforming compliance into long-term value. In times of economic uncertainty, PAG’s strategic reviews uncover hidden efficiencies that strengthen competitiveness. A Culture Built on Trust, Passion, Resilience, and Collaboration At the core of PAG’s success is its unique culture, which is founded on four key pillars: trust, passion, resilience, and collaboration. These values guide the way the firm works with clients, partners, and within its own team. As a boutique consultancy, PAG places great importance on fostering an environment where every voice is heard, and creativity and innovation can flourish. “Our values are not just words; they shape the way we deliver for our clients and each other,” says Val Matthews. “We build trust with our clients through open communication and transparency. Passion drives our commitment to achieving the best outcomes. Resilience ensures we can tackle challenges head-on, and collaboration helps us deliver results as one team.” PAG nurtures this culture by prioritising continuous professional development, mentorship, and wellbeing. The firm encourages autonomy and accountability, empowering each team member to take ownership of projects and deliver tangible results. Recognition and Growth PAG’s commitment to excellence was recognised with two prestigious awards at the Australian Enterprise Awards 2026: Most Trusted Digital Transformation Consultancy and Award for Excellence in Digital Project Management. Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, PAG is set for accelerated growth, aiming to lead the boutique advisory space in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The firm’s strategic focus will remain on aviation, transport, private equity partnerships, and regional expansion. “In 2026, we will set the benchmark for boutique consultancies in APAC,” says CTIO Val Matthews. “Our agility, specialisation, and innovative approach will demonstrate that size does not dictate success. For aviation operators, government agencies, and private equity firms, PAG is a strategic partner driving resilience, efficiency, and sustainable value creation.” Contact: Val Matthews Company: Project Advisory Group Web Address: www.projectadvisory.group Most Trusted Digital Transformation Consultancy 2026 & Award for Excellence in Digital Project Management 2026 Project Advisory Group
