What We Do

We provide a fresh set of eyes to examine the current business strategy, in the context of the history of the organisation and it ambitions for the future. Importantly, we look at the points of intersection and connections between:

• Perceived point of difference/competitive advantage.
• Core capabilities.
• Future disruptive forces.
• Innovation and strategic renewal.
• Value creation and opportunity.
• Value destruction and risk.

Having the right people, strongly engaged and with the required capabilities, is fundamental to organisational success. We work with individuals at all organisational levels by:

• Understanding organisational and leader expectations for individuals in key roles.
• Combining internal and external assessment measures to identify strengths and gaps.
• Working with individuals to assess their readiness for change.
• Providing tailored coaching solutions.

Team success is built on foundations of transparency and openness. High performing teams need maturity and skill from members to be able to raise and resolve conflict. We provide tools and mechanics to build muscle in this area.

We also work side by side with teams in the middle of change, supporting leaders and individuals through complex and fluid change environments.

Using our broad network, we partner with Boards, CEOs and Business Unit Leaders to identify external talent. While there are fees associated with specific briefs, we make proactive linkages between high quality individuals and our past and present clients (at no cost).

Additionally, we have access to sprint capacity (both within Quincy Human Capital and from a broader network). These resources can fill short term gaps or provide additional resources for new/existing projects.

Your organisation operates in a dynamic environment. Whether is competitive, regulatory, technological, international…boundaries and rules continue to shift. Change is foundational to sustainability and success.

What we have learned is that change needs to happen more quickly than most people are comfortable with. Our team help to frame change, to stay focused on the big opportunities, to take mitigated risks. Our role is to help challenge assumptions, particularly around things impacting the speed of change, and help teams successfully get through change more quickly.

While an integral part of change, everyday risk assessment and decision making is a litmus test of organisational culture. We encounter many organisations where the risk aperture is too narrow on the everyday decisions, yet big risks go unnoticed. We work with individuals and teams to understand how risks are assessed, how decisions are made, and the organisational and individual consequences of mistakes. We use this to help build capability and speed in risk assessment, decision making and using mistakes for growth.

We see the results of issues around people, change, risk and culture play out in business process. For example, does your organisation encounter these issues:

• Projects start then seem to fade away.
• Yesterday’s number one priority is replaced by a new focus.
• There is no clear measure of success and no milestone measures associated with key business goals.
• The ‘plan on a page’ that was developed at the strategy session doesn’t drive new behaviour or thinking.
• Organisational goals don’t cascade effectively to managers or teams.
• Weekly meetings change, are poorly attended, are unfocused.
• ‘One on one’ meetings with leaders are infrequent and serve no real purpose.

Discipline and alignment are key for successful execution - we partner with the CEO and Executive Team to establish clear and simple processes to improve project and business performance, with well understood measures and milestones to track progress.
