Organisational Performance

We design and realign businesses to lift performance.

To perform at its best, your organisation needs to align its operating model, culture and workforce to its purpose and strategy. Every organisation needs its own approach to achieving this alignment, reflecting the operating context, notions of performance and customer expectations.

We combine our experience in organisational design, productivity, cost reduction, human behaviour, organisational systems and change management to improve performance. We tailor solutions to suit your specific customer, people, environmental and financial realities.

Our consulting services include

Operating model

Getting the right operating model is a fundamental challenge for organisations. We align services, processes, structures, people and technology – drawing on the Nous Organisational Architecture Framework – to develop and implement operating models that deliver on your strategic intent and lift your performance.
Culture

Culture can be a unique competitive advantage that cannot easily be replicated. We can help you to shift your culture to improve performance and the experience of your employees, partners and customers. We cultivate inclusive, integrated workplaces for diverse, high-potential talent.
Workforce

People are central to an organisation’s success. But right now there is mounting uncertainty about the adequacy of workforce capabilities and capacities to meet future demand. We support you to diagnose your future capabilities and skills, assess your workforce capacity and capability, and undertake workforce interventions to address potential workforce shortages.
Equity, diversity and inclusion

Equitable, diverse and inclusive organisations enable everyone to achieve their potential. We help you to leverage the full diversity of talent to deliver better outcomes for your clients, stakeholders and customers.
