Client partnership is at the heart of our approach
We never presume to be experts in our clients' worlds. We see our role as one of partnership to co-design and host interventions to help our clients achieve their outcomes.
We begin our partnership in a discovery phase to deeply understand the client context, past and present, their needs and cultural apsirations. We always seek to gain broad insights from diverse perspectives, including the Executive Team, and Board if necessary, as well as from voices deep within the organisation. We then construct a coalition of external experts tailored to provide the client specific expertise. For us, chemistry is everything, so we ensure that the mix is right. We form a design team with our client ensuring a co design approach and review process throughout.
Depending upon the outcome sought, we design interventions that build psychological safety, unleash energy and motivation, and drive results. We have a broad range of skills, models, methods and processes we can apply, and particularly emphasise practices and principles emerging from evidence-based practices of Positive Psychology. Unfortunately, we find this term misleading as it conjures up a way of working which is soft and Pollyanna-ish with disregard for hard business facts, tough realities and potential avoidance. This could not be further from the truth. If anything, we find that when we construct change and learning interventions using a strengths-based, vision-led approach, people are more prepared to do the hard work necessary to effect change, and we find the solutions that arise are more innovative and implementable. We are pragmatic and results-oriented and passionate about helping to create humane, innovative cultures and developing the leaders who can sustain this.
