Our Services
Facilitation of the Strategic Planning Process
The SOAR Approach to planning helps organisations to leverage their Strengths and identify key Opportunities for growth.
Strategic planning is important in helping to define the future needs of the business in a changing and competitive environment. Using the SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations and Results) approach we would assist by ensuring that the medium to long term goals of the organisation are clearly identified and develop an action plan on how these can be achieved.
Our approach is to work with the organisation to get collective input, involving others to ensure the goals identified are implemented.
Recruitment & Selection
Finding the person with the right knowledge, skills and attributes for your team.
When acquiring talent for your business, it’s essential to look beyond the résumé to find individuals whose attributes and character align with your organization’s values and culture.
With the support of a dedicated HR Consultant, we take a personalized approach to understanding your unique needs. From the initial search to final selection, we work closely with you to ensure that every candidate is not only capable, but also the right fit.
Compensation & Benefits Surveys
We design customised, industry-specific surveys that provide insights to help organisations maintain internal equity and ensure external competitiveness in the market.
We provide customised, industry-specific compensation and benefits surveys that benchmark your organisation’s salaries and cash allowances by position against the market. This gives you clear insights into how competitive your pay practices are.
Beyond benchmarking, we partner with you to design and implement a compensation structure that is not only market-aligned but also strategically supports your organisation’s long-term business goals.
Our approach ensures that your reward systems attract, retain, and motivate the right talent while maintaining internal equity and external competitiveness.

Developing Leaders with the LPI® 360
Through our partnership with International Leadership Associates, we utilize the Leadership Practices Inventory® (LPI®) 360 a robust 360° assessment tool designed to measure the frequency of 30 key leadership behaviours, those most commonly demonstrated when leaders are performing at their best.
These behaviours align with the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership™, as defined by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner in their acclaimed book The Leadership Challenge:
- Model the Way
- Inspire a Shared Vision
- Challenge the Process
- Enable Others to Act
- Encourage the Heart
By gathering feedback from colleagues, direct reports, and other stakeholders, the LPI® 360 highlights an individual’s leadership strengths and development areas. This insight is used to guide targeted coaching and is especially valuable for individuals being prepared for succession into key leadership roles.
Building Cohesive Teams with the Five Behaviours® Assessment
We utilize the Five Behaviours® Team Assessment, grounded in Patrick Lencioni’s model of high-performing teams, to support the development of trust-based, accountable, and results-driven teams. This model focuses on five essential behaviours:
1. Building Trust
2. Mastering Conflict
3. Achieving Commitment
4. Embracing Accountability
5. Focusing on Results
The assessment integrates the DISC® model (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness) to provide participants with insights into both team dynamics and their individual behavioural styles. Participants receive comprehensive team and individual reports, which serve as the foundation for in-house training programs aimed at building more cohesive and effective teams. This tool is especially valuable for leaders and teams committed to strengthening collaboration and performance.
