Nick Pye departs Gold Coast Sports Super Centre
The last two months have brought to an end the private ownership of the Gold Coast's iconic Runaway Bay Sports Super Centre, with the completion of its sale to the Queensland Government.
The change of ownership has been a private success story, with a facility often called the 'foremost private sports facility in the world', and a 'worthy private rival' to the Australian Institute of Sport.
Being one of very few 'commercially sound' sports operations of this type worldwide; there has been much interest in the unique structure of the Sports Super Centre.
As the architect of this structure, the Managing Director Nick Pye has fielded continual interest nationally and internationally.
On the back of this success, and using his 20-years in international management positions, Pye has formed the independent sport consultancy Teamz International.
Beyond the advantages of a depth of knowledge into a benchmarking facility, what makes Teamz International distinctive is its combination of commercial experience with a high level of academic rigour. Pye's doctorate research into sport and social capital gives his consultancy an element of depth that the industry has been missing.
Interest both domestically and internationally has already been strong.
A Teamz International statement explains that the consultancy is already forming strategic agreements at State Government, Local Council, and at Tertiary levels. In addition a partnership is under discussion which will refine industry practices in data collection and economic modelling techniques.
Teamz International specialises in:
• Strategic Management
• Facility design and implementation
• Equipment procurement
• Operational management and business planning
• Feasibility/capability planning
• Commercialisation and governance
• Community relations
• Strategic marketing/ marketing audit
• Change management/ Management design
• Communications strategies
• Independent project management
