Quad Chart Masterclass

Quad charts are used throughout the defence industry to help professional buyers quickly work out exactly who your business is, what your business does and what sets it apart, leaving them wanting to know more.

Does your current quad chart do that? Will it stand out above your competitors?

Proudly presented by Defence Jobs Queensland in conjunction with Michael Fairweather and Associates, our Quad Chart Masterclass will help you refine your current quad chart so it's memorable and leaves potential customers with a great first impression. Join Tim Walmsley (Michael Fairweather and Associates) and Mick Cook (Forge Advisory) as they guide you on how to take your quad chart from ordinary to extraordinary! Hear directly from Defence Primes and the Office of Defence Industry Support about what makes a quad chart memorable (for the wrong and right reasons) and what they value as the customer.

This is an in-person, interactive workshop so be prepared to share your business and what makes you unique. There is no better way to learn how to capture the attention of Defence Primes than by developing your quad chart with them in a safe environment. Let them help you stand out from the crowd and win more work in defence industry!
