The real problem isn't willpower — it's systems holding your business back

Most growing organisations aren't short on effort. You and your team are already working hard. The struggle comes from systems that were never designed to keep up with where the business is now.

Day to day, that looks like:

  • Data scattered across MYOB, spreadsheets and apps, with no single source of truth anyone fully trusts.
  • Manual processes quietly stealing hours every week that should be spent on customers and growth.
  • Teams reacting to problems instead of working to a clear, shared plan.
  • Systems that don't talk to each other, so reporting is always late, incomplete or both.
  • Leaders stuck in admin and spreadsheet wrangling instead of setting direction and making decisions.

Underneath it all sits a quiet thought most people don't say out loud:

"We know we could be running so much better — we just don't know where to start."

Connaugh Druhan - Founder of Divergent Edge Strategies

You don't need another consultant — you need a systems guide

I'm Connaugh Druhan, founder of Divergent Edge. For more than a decade I've helped Australian organisations untangle messy systems, clean up unreliable data, and give their teams tools that actually support growth.

I understand what it feels like when everything relies on you and nothing feels fully under control. My work is grounded in a simple belief: every organisation can run smoother, smarter, and faster with the right systems in place.

With experience across operations, finance, automation, and growth strategy, I specialise in turning complexity into clarity — giving leaders confidence, visibility, and systems they can finally rely on.

A simple three-step plan to move from chaos to clarity

Once we understand where your systems are holding you back, we follow a clear, practical three-step path. No jargon, no endless slide decks — just a focused plan to get your data, processes and reporting working the way they should.

Why clients choose Divergent Edge

When you bring someone into your systems and data, you need more than good ideas. You need clear scope, real accountability and a partner who is invested in the outcome, not just the hours.

Outcome-linked project fees

You are not paying for slide decks or vague advice. Projects are scoped around clear deliverables, and invoices are tied to work being completed and live, not just "time spent".

That keeps both of us focused on what matters: getting your systems running better than before.

Transparent scope & practical delivery

Every engagement comes with a clear scope, assumptions and boundaries, so you know exactly what is included, what it costs and when it will be delivered.

The work is grounded in your reality — your people, your tools and your capacity to maintain it once it is live.

Founder-led, hands-on partnership

You work directly with me, not an anonymous team. I bring blended experience across operations, finance and growth, and I stay close to the details from first conversation to final handover.

Your success is personal to me — my reputation is built on the systems and outcomes we create together.
