There are times of intense change when organisations need 'all hands on deck'. We’ve got a strong track record of getting alongside organisations during these times. Our work in business transformation centres around the co-design and leadership of change projects. This includes:

 

Strategic Engagement - helping organisations grow meaningful and innovative collaboration with third parties, including developing new lines of business. We have worked with some of New Zealand's most well known organisations to lead strategic change. 

Change – at the heart of most leadership work is a desire to design, plan and manage some kind of change. Sometimes our clients just want some fresh thinking around leading change, sometimes its help with a big, hairy policy challenge (particularly in the information management & digital arenas) and sometimes it’s preparing for a changing workforce.  

 

Guide on the side- sometimes you need a fresh perspective, an encouraging work or ideas from someone who has seen it all. We've been around a transformation a lot. We know what works, what doesn't and how to help you as a leader get through it in one piece- both professionally and personally. In our experience, leading though a transformation is a little bit like being the person who is always one step ahead, talking about whats coming and keeping everyone else on track.

​

 We can help you stay one step ahead of everyone else. 

 

For you this might look like us joining change leadership meetings regularly to give outside perspective and challenge group think. We coached key leaders to ensure they feel supported to lead the change. In these assignments we blend methods- holistic frameworks, change models, architecture, communication advice, service design, design thinking and creative practices to help you embed new ways of work, new technology and support new teams and leaders that arise from the change. 

 

Tools and Practices- we have a wide raft of resources we can help you use, from change models, templates and workshop agendas, we have you covered.

 

Facilitation and Communication- talking to your people is one of the most important aspects of a big change programme. Having help with your communications, developing key messages, understanding neuroscience of change and how to feed that into your work is crucial.

We've worked with every kind of leader, from CEO's of government departments to community leaders in the regions. Our ideal client is a leader who values openness and wants to grow their potential and the potential of those around them. We especially love to work with people who believe that work should be collaborative, creative and engaging. 

How might we support you?

“Penny has repeatedly shown that when she is given an activity to lead or a problem to solve, she embraces it totally, applies sound logic and common sense and has a way of cutting through the layers to make things happen. Penny has been asked to lead many different projects and initiatives whilst she has been on BT. It is testimony to her ability and approach that she is generally the first person thought of to lead difficult and challenging activities. Penny has a wide range of skills and capabilities, is a good people person and gets results!”
