"The
average life expectancy of a multinational Fortune 500 company is only between 40 and 50 years. . . Where human beings have
an average life expectancy of around 75 year or more, relatively few corporations are that old and still flourishing." Arie de Geus.
The Living Company. 1997 “The
new economy challenges the organisation in many ways. Firstly, virtual technologies and globalisation are leading to a blurring
of organisational boundaries. Secondly, value creation becomes more and more dependent on intangibles, such as knowledge,
relationships, brands required for mass-customisation. Thirdly, uncertain and fast-changing environments require new organisational
abilities such as flexibility, speed and adaptability. Organisations,
like complex organisms, have a ‘nervous system’ which enables them to thrive on chaos and to guide them through
turbulent times. . . in fast moving unpredictable environments, ‘nervous system’ functions are essential to provide
the organisation with anticipatory, filtering, empathic, learning and adaptive capabilities in real time.” Camarinha-Matos,
Afsarmanesh, Rabelo. (Eds) E-Business and Virtual Enterprises. 2000

T The above quotes are taken from research carried out up to two decades ago - but they ring loud and true
today. The trouble is, the current economic scene shows that too few are listening. History will show that the organisations that
survive these troubling economic times are the ones that are listening. These organisations will be successful because they
are best suited to, and capable of, applying innovative measures to the complex and often chaotic issues they are
confronted with. Will your organisation
be one of these? Our
consulting firm specializes in: - helping your organisation really understand the future - and the skills you
need to get there.
- recession proofing
organisations and industries - by creating flexible and innovative systems for training staff to create the future.
- targetted recruitment processes - helping
you get the people you need, not just the ones that the recruitment agency sends you,
- tailored training - identifying, gaining and retaining world class skills
and knowledge that achieve your business and strategic objectives,
- organizational development - creating the kind of learning organisation
that others aspire to, and
- executive
coaching services - being there when staff need that little extra something to turn them into world leaders.
Whether a government or private sector
organisation, for-profit or not-for-profit, large or small, we can help you adopt world class processes that will
position your organisation for future survival and success. Together we will use incredibly simple, but highly powerful, processes and systems to: define your organisation's current and
future societal, business and strategic objectives, identify the most appropriate business structure and functions needed to achieve these, and
identify the skills
and knowledge that will see each employee, supervisor and manager achieve the aims and objectives important to them.
If survival and success are your aims
then our goal is to get you implementing, not just planning, the strategies needed to get there. Our work is grounded in real
business issues to produce tangible, bottom line outcomes. We use the context of your business to develop the strategies and
