Our Distinction

Today's 'business-scape' requires leaders to effectively engage, enable and empower their team-members, realising their full potential. And that's something we know a thing or two about. Our team comprises individuals who have a demonstrated history of building and leading high-performance operations. By combining the experiences many of our team have with the applied research of such notable Australian research organisations as Immersion Learning Systems, Team Management Systems, Cultural Imprints and Griffith University we have developed a range of powerful - and highly regarded - programmes of development for effective frontline and operational leadership for the Australian business environment.

There are six key elements which make the work we do quite distinctive:

1. Distinctively Australian

• Firstly we're Australian - in ownership yes, but more importantly, in content. And that's not just some jingoistic tug at the heart strings... All of the diagnostics and benchmarking tools we use were developed in Australia, and all of the concepts and behaviours we teach are taught with the Australian workforce in mind - a group who are cynical, mistrustful of 'people in authority', who are more concerned with not failing than they are succeeding, yet who, when 'the going gets rough' will band together like almost no other culture on earth;
  

2. Best-practice benchmarked - tailored to your needs

• Whilst possessing a proven and powerful formula for success, we acknowledge that your situation will have a degree of uniqueness and that 'prescription without diagnosis is malpractice'. So, all of our work commences with the conduct of benchmarking and diagnostics - profiling the effectiveness of the organisation and its sub-units, and the effectiveness of the leaders within - against not only best practice, but databases of hundreds of Australian companies and thousands of Australian employees. From there we are able identify gaps and customise our project work accordingly;
  

• Complimenting the applied research of organisations like Immersion Learning Systems, Team Management Systems, Cultural Imprints and The Business School of Griffith University our work has been honed by the practical experience each of our team-members has had in leading teams to success. Our hand-picked team have a combined total of 100+ years experience in roles as diverse as Army Special Forces team leaders, Business Unit Heads, General Managers, HR Directors and CEO. All have significant records of success in delivering quantifiable results in highly competitive, fluid and demanding environments. Each is highly skilled in coaching and mentoring middle managers to deliver outstanding results; 
  

4. Class-leading training

• Our training methodology is a class-leader, utilising ground-breaking 'immersive training' and 'action-learning' techniques that take participants well beyond role plays, simulations or case-studies and provide them with an opportunity to actually feel the consequences of their actions. Consequently participants leave our programmes equipped to put their learnings in place no matter what circumstances might happen along to try and derail them;
  

5. ROI through implementation projects

• We're the only training company in the country that will tell you that training doesn't work! On its own. Our training is reinforced and brought to life in your organisation, securing results and ROI. We achieve this by facilitating the development of Operational Effectiveness Improvement Projects® - responding to the earlier benchmarking work - which will require your middle managers to provide leadership and collaborate across the organisation. Real projects, providing real benefits through application of learnings.
  

6. From leadership in theory to leadership in action

• Assisting our participants in developing life-long skills and behaviours, each of our programmes include an implementation phase focused on guiding each participating manager in the deployment of the skills, processes and behaviours we teach, IN THEIR REAL WORKING ENVIRONMENT. Because we teach from experience we know that high-performance is not a matter of luck. We also know that training doesn't work – on its own.  Subsequently, our training is reinforced and brought to life in your organisation, creating a high performance environment of ‘disciplined people’, ‘disciplined thought’ and ‘disciplined action’ to deliver a measurable Return On Investment.

Ultimately, our minimum aim is to deliver an improvement of at least 33% in operational effectiveness, through improved operational leadership.

These six key elements combine to bring you an umatched capability. We're not in event management, report writing or the keynote speaker game. We're in the business of developing the most effective tactical, operational and project leaders in this country. Through a comprehensive array of tools and approaches that have been designed and refined here in Australia - and have proven themselves effective in the four corners of the globe and against all odds - we deliver outstanding results.
