We are a small management consulting practice in West Perth with over 20 years of experience in public, private, non-profit, and even professional sports.

1. PICK A FIGHT – PURPOSE
Every human being is unique with distinctive strengths (and weaknesses), has something important to contribute, and has a special purpose that needs to be pursued.

2. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT – PEOPLE
Everything we do must be premised on the “Pursuit of Goodness” – considering not just “why who and what” but “HOW”. People and their behaviours are critical to this.

3. FIGHT HARD – PERFORMANCE
Results require disciplined effort – a cost, a price to be paid, upfront, and at least proportionate to the desired outcome.

If your organisation is experiencing significant change – growth or decline – we can assist. Our proprietary model helps clarify Purpose, engage your People and achieve peak performance.

We have particular expertise and experience working with high-net-worth families and advising them on their personal and corporate needs, especially in the context of succession-planning.

We love people! Whether it’s attracting the right talent; assisting with redundancies and underperformance; or getting the most out of your team, speak to us!
