Board/CEO Dynamics and Board Development

We can help smooth this interface to ensure maximum gain from the relationship. LEARN MORE
organisational intervention
A problem that is not adequately defined often cannot be resolved – and results in stop gap solutions that are costly, time-consuming and neither effective nor sufficient. Working with senior leaders, we aim to identify and resolve organisational issues to help organisations create positive, lasting change. LEARN MORE

We understand the competitive pressures that sporting organisations operate under, not only in terms of producing results “out on the track” but also in terms of stakeholder engagement and effective back-of-house operations.

our engagement process
The relationships we develop with our clients through our consulting services often become very strong – and our clients become life-long friends. To that end – it is important that we work with you to ensure you are clear about what you want, what you hope to achieve, and that you feel comfortable with what we can offer.
Our initial conversations will determine how we can help you, and whether we are the right people to do so (we will be the first to recommend other services if we think it would be a better fit). An initial meeting can help save lots of time and can help you scope your request.
Contact
Contact us for a confidential discussion. We can meet you – wherever you wish (preferably where coffee is available!) and we can run through whatever is on your mind and discuss potential approaches.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
I have known the consultants for going on ten years now, and have collaborated with them on a number of projects. The specialist skills they bring are not easily matched in the market, and the results that they achieve are really impressive. I wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending them any organisation challenge, especially in the areas of leadership development, executive coaching and board development - the tougher the assignment the better! Jason, now a Director at a major, multi-national consulting house.
This was hands down the best course I have ever attended. The Facilitator was totally amazing – funny, clear, concise, and really knows her stuff. It was so relevant and I have never been so interested and engaged before. I left feeling energized and ready to take on the world! I see myself using the information for many years to come.Leadership workshop participant
I run a multi-million dollar sporting organisation, and I have used the services of their key consultants for strategy development, staff engagement and implementation planning. The results of their work have stood the test of time, and we still refer to the processes they used even though several years have elapsed. I can talk to them today, and they are so generous with their time. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them, even for the most complicated strategy or staff engagement piece. Head of a large multi-sport organisation, producing athletes that compete on the world stage.
