The Kestrel Eight Story
We combine the agility and precision of a kestrel with a strategic focus on aligning your technology to your business's true north. Our name embodies our commitment to solving complex problems with pinpoint accuracy while ensuring every solution moves you toward your strategic goals.
Our name, Kestrel Eight, embodies our philosophy of combining precision and strategic alignment. The kestrel is an agile bird of prey, known for its precision, adaptability, and sharp focus. This reflects our approach: a focused team with the agility and expertise to solve your toughest challenges with pinpoint accuracy.
The Eight is inspired by a unique piece of Melbourne's history. The city's original grid was laid out 8 degrees from true north, but aligned to magnetic north when the streets were originally surveyed - a pragmatic choice that served a practical need. This story reflects our core belief that while many businesses operate on a functional "magnetic north", true lasting success comes from aligning technology with the "true north" of it's strategic goals.
This perspective is built on a foundation of over 20 years of frontline experience in complex enterprise and government programs. We deliver solutions that are not just technically sound, but practical and strategically aligned. Our commitment is to build an enduring partnership with you. Through transparent communication and an unwavering focus on high-quality outcomes, we ensure our engagement is not just successful, but a genuinely positive and collaborative experience.
