Leading with a focus on strategic stakeholder engagement and communication

vista

A new perspective 

Thinking outside the square is just the start, and that’s why our clients describe our work as “brilliant”, “innovative” and “energizing”, and keep asking us back for more.

We design and deliver stakeholder engagement and strategic communication solutions that facilitate and support the success of your project, program, operations, or event.

Our practice is about people – what they say; do; support; oppose; what they are interested in; delivering, or aspire to.

Our focus is on the message and experience your stakeholders take away - so that the message you send and the experience you deliver - is right. Every time.

Our why is because we love what we do. We prioritize people not boxes. We are intuitive and creative. We love helping our clients succeed.

working with you

Project examples

We work flexibly to meet your needs. We can take a project from pre-inception to completion, or be engaged at a point where we can add most value.

Whether you need a session facilitated, a strategy or plan developed, some key documents crafted, or an audit conducted, we are the right team to help you succeed. Learn about some of our past projects below and get in touch to see what we can do for you.

Global business

Facilitation

This division of a global multi-national was experiencing significant structural and external industry changes.

The leadership team needed a reset, with development of change readiness and resilience capabilities.

We developed a comprehensive program that included strategy workshops, team and culture building, along with pre and post coaching for each individual.

The outcome of a stronger, more engaged leadership team led to higher retention and employee engagement in their teams.


Government

Stakeholder strategy

This government cultural facility was granted more than $1 billion of capital works in addition to  ongoing operational delivery.

With a highly complex stakeholder environment, they required direction for stakeholder engagement 

We developed a bespoke and pragmatic stakeholder engagement strategy and associated plans to support and coordinate the stakeholder engagement activities of this cultural institution during a period of major change. 

The tools developed are actionable and include measurable outcomes for the life of the program.

Supported by the organisation's executive team who were fully engaged in its development, the Strategy and Plans align with and reflect organisational culture.

Multi-national

Facilitation

This global telecommunications company required an increased focus on safety management, globally.

The leadership team convened key senior staff in Stockholm for a 3-day conference workshop.

This Strategy and Culture Development Session for their Global Safety Leaders was a turning point for their safety culture.

We designed and socialised the engagement agenda for this off-site.

We facilitated each session with energy and creativity;  gaining valuable inputs to the program. Outputs from the session included defining the cultural policies; rollout pattern; key messaging and safety narrative.

The program and its outcomes were fully supported by the organisation's executive team who were fully engaged in its development. 

Entrepreneurial business

Team development

We design and delivered coaching and leadership development for senior staff, CXO and senior leadership roles across a range of industries.

Executive coaching is a service we deliver for organisations who need to improve individual and team performance.

From large multinationals to small, entrepreneurial businesses, across finance, insurance and sustainable energy, our executive coaching supports business change and driving business success.

We know resilient leaders welcome and enable new perspectives and drive re-invigorated teams.

Mentoring sessions will often expand to include programmed team off-sites where we facilitate sessions designed for team growth and cohesion.

Why

We love what we do. We prioritize people not boxes. We are intuitive and creative. We can follow processes as well as the next person. But where we really add value is when we unravel where we are and set a pragmatic path to the future. We share our energy to spark yours - and focus on your success.

Success lifts people up, whether it’s through the process or at the end - we leave individuals, teams and organizations better for the experience of us being involved. We are grounded in respect – in everything we say and everything we do. Respect informs our approach and drives timely, effective and appropriate engagement and communication. Respect enables us to seek common ground, but at the same time, to hold different views. These are the hallmarks of sustainable relationships and the foundation of resilience and a sustainable future. And that’s the legacy we strive for. It’s what excites us, it’s what we’re good at and it’s why we do what we do.  

Thinking differently sets us apart, delivers tangible results and makes us happy. Working differently means you get us at our best. We are big enough to lead and small enough to care.

Thinking outside the square is just the start, and that’s why our clients describe our work as “brilliant”, “innovative” and “energizing”. They re-engage us and refer us.

We are proactive and responsive and do what we say we will - when we present the A-team, you get the A-team; when we say we can be there, we make it happen.

If you or your project needs communication and engagement that focuses on people – creatively, intuitively, intelligently, and meaningfully – and you are looking for a partner to work alongside you - contact us. We would be honored to work with you.
