About Us
“If you do not change the direction, you may end up where you are going.”
Your company’s capacity to execute your strategy depends on your people and your culture. Culture is the engine that moves your strategy forward. Strategy is an integral part of that culture.
We believe that strategy and culture should have breakfast, lunch and dinner together. Culture outperforms strategy every time; and culture with strategy is unbeatable.
We help develop people focussed, customer centric businesses to achieve exceptional levels of success. We have a proven track record for delivering strategic impact and increasing shareholder value.
What to expect
There is no better catalyst to success than curiosity. Its not that we’re so smart. Its just that we stay with problems longer. Every day in business there is a new question, that’s what keeps us curious. We know how important it is to spend time with a group of people who challenge and inspire you.
Success
Success partnership starts with having exceptional clarity about what success really means. Some business people mistakenly believe that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead we are more interested in the quality of the time you put in. The asset we most value, aside from health, is interesting, diverse and long standing friends.
“Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”
Partnership
Our main goal is to help people with ambition in their eyes and passion running through their veins. Strategic alliances and partnerships are critical to what we do. When people ask us what is the key to success, we always give the same answer; partnerships. We help our clients to refocus on what really matters.
There is little success where there is little laughter. Fun is the most important and underrated ingredient in any successful venture.
3 Success Measures
1
Employee engagement gets you productivity, quality, pride and creativity.
2
If you’re growing customer satisfaction, your market share is sure to grow too.
3
And cash flow is the pulse – the key vital sign of any business.
Guiding Principles
The first principle is that people and performance matter equally – and both can be measured and managed with equal rigor.
The second principle is that nothing changes unless people do. The challenge is always in getting people to do things in a different way.
The third principle that underscores everything is that people always have choice.

“We help businesses to close gaps by thinking differently about their people and the customers they serve.”
Winning company
Too often companies measure everything and understand nothing. The bottom line is where it belongs – an outcome at the bottom. Far above are the two key drivers of profit and loss – employee engagement and customer loyalty.
Without doubt, there are lots of ways to measure the pulse of a business. But if you have employee engagement, customer satisfaction and cash flow right, you can be sure your company is performing and on the way to winning.
