Who We Work With

We work with key contributors in a wide variety of organisations who are held accountable for people development and performance in their company or department.  From database, enterprise software and customer-focused IT to production and fmcg, the challenges are remarkably similar when it comes to getting the best from people.

Decision-makers who wish to improve people performance by helping them make better people decisions.
Whether you are picking up the pieces of organisational change, responding to merger and acquisitions or you want to take what is already working well to the next level, we can help you help your people to achieve it. You understand that personal development and skilful relationship-management are the key. 

We work in organisations where individuals (teams/departments) are struggling
with changes in leadership, personal issues impacting on their professional effectiveness, low motivation following a re-organisation, interpersonal clashes/conflicts or uncertainty is causing chaos beneath
the surface.

Many of our clients are people who act as change agents, as individuals, teams or leaders within the firm.  Typically, they want to get the best out of their employees, believe they can move their teams to higher levels of performance and achieve greater business results. Capability development is high on your agenda.

Clients who are on top and want to stay there.  It’s one thing being effective and efficient in delivering performance and results. It’s quite another getting the best out of your teams as you improve morale, productivity and interpersonal relationships in the current climate of change, change, change.

Our clients share certain frustrations with the results of traditional management and training approaches.  Their instincts tell them there’s a better way.  Fortunately, there is and for selected clients, that’s where we can help.

What they all have in common is that they have great people working for them but still experience poor performance at individual level, teams often function more as groups and achieving sustainable change has proved elusive.  As a result, many clients are searching for refreshing ways to optimise their people performance in today’s fast paced, high stress workplace.

Do these problems seem familiar ?

You're in a management or leadership role and feeling isolated and uncertain ? Who can you talk openly to, float ideas with, share frustrations and worries with ? Do you just keep it all to yourself and tell yourself you’re the Director/VP now, you just have to handle it all on your own?

All bar one. “All the team are working well together with the exception of one member of the team”. Is there one member of the team who just wants to do whatever they want ?  Do they have a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude?  Is there someone who resists being managed by saying ‘don’t micromanage me’ ? How can we get everyone on board and make sure negative attitudes don’t spread?

“We’ve got to do something about morale around here".  We’ve been working overtime for 18 months and there’s no sign of a let up, something’s got to give if we want to keep our people”. The choice seems to be become burned out and exhausted – or let the business will suffer.

“Perhaps it’s time to move to pastures new” key member/s of your team showing signs of itchy feet, wanting a promotion or new challenges. Can you afford to lose these valuable employees and then start all over again ? How are you going to reach your goals if you can’t keep your best people ?

Clients are likely to be successful in working with us if…

you are looking for an external partner who can serve as a strategic thinking partner, coach and facilitator to help high-potential managers who have just been promoted to new leadership roles

you/your department are already successful and want to move to even higher levels of professional and personal effectiveness. Proactive, motivated and goal driven people are worth their weight in gold and deserve opportunities to build on their successes

you are committed to long-term solutions and willing to make a commitment to work, rather than to a quick fix. Well planned and executed people development strategies supported by integrated systems deliver results

you are concerned about employee retention, poor talent management and want to ‘grow your own’ as well as develop new key contributors and teams within the company

you are open and seeking a change – perhaps have tried many approaches (to team working, improving people performance, delivering results, managing conflicts) that haven’t fully met your needs

you have high standards of honesty and integrity.  If you want to succeed by taking ethical shortcuts, we’re not for you. If you want to engage in business at the highest level, we’d like to help you achieve your success

your leadership team is committed to developing people and believes they can change. Businesses are either moving forward or backwards, the only constant is change. Not changing actually works against progress

you experience challenges within the management team, are missing some key leadership abilities or strategies and want to get up to speed. You’ve been recently promoted; are responsible for a higher level of organisational complexity and you recognise that you could do with some help and are not afraid to ask
