Our Services
As our name implies, our business is change - both the systems that make change possible and the people who make it happen.
Designing the future of the organisation
We work with senior executive teams to help them determine how they want their organisation to look, feel and perform in the future. Our objective is to create a clear, shared strategic vision of the organisation as it will endure beyond the control of the current leadership team.
All of changedrivers Principals have extensive experience in working with a broad range of companies and industries in this critical phase of organisational development.
Our strapline says it all "systems make it possible - people make it happen". We have learned that an organisation's capability is determined by how effectively the organisational has developed competence in its people and its systems.
Without a clear appreciation of the future, strategic objective it is impossible to effectively determine the capabilities required to deliver the vision.
Our work in this domain can include:
- Vision Into Action - VIA™ - one of changedrivers’ core capabilities is to bring together a group of executives who have different perspectives on the same enterprise issue and help them to build a road map to an agreed end-state that they can all live with.
- Stakeholder Engagement and Management™ - Avoiding the 11th Hour Veto by developing alignment and commitment of the powerful individuals and groups in complex projects.
- Performance Pathway™ - working with you to integrate a complex range of necessary change activities on your road to a sustainable future.
- Change Management -Our axiom is - systems make it possible, people make it happen and that thinking runs through everything we do, it's a process, a toolbox, a way of thinking.
Developing leadership capabilities - People make it happen
Effective change is brought about by effective leadership. As organisations flex and respond to their environments they need leaders who understand the role that is demanded of them by their current set of circumstances.
In our view, effective organisations are able to demonstrate leadership at all levels throughout the organisation.
Leadership is a mindset, not a position. It is about demonstrating personal leadership, not giving orders.
As a review of the capability statements will testify, our Principals in this Branch of our business are eminently qualified to lead our clients through the development of leadership capability in their businesses.
Our work in this domain can include:
- Adaptive Leadership Capability™ - developing flexible leaders in your organisation.
- Executive Coaching - delivered by internationally accredited Coaches and aimed at the middle and senior management ranks of your organisation.
- PCAD™ - building powerful, cohesive and effective boards of management through a program of individual and collective development.

- TCP™ - Team Capability Project: Helping groups of people to become an effective team and helping the team members to understand how they contribute to the overall capability of the team.
Developing organisational capabilities - Systems make it possible
The constant challenge for organisations is to ensure that they have the right capabities and competences to "play the game". To remain relevant and competent organisations need to constantly reinvent and reinvigorate themselves, developing capabilities and competences that will give them a competitive edge in game.
Organisations are dynamic systems that are driven by changes in technology, workforce attitudes, shifts in prevailing cultures, competitor activity, governance requirements and a myriad of other actors that press upon the organisation and demand responsive change.
Enduring organisations deliver their products and services more effectively than those that fall by the wayside. An organisation's continued existence result from the continuous improvement of its systems and constant development of its "fit within its environment".
Our work in this domain can include:
- R2GAP Analysis™ - improving organisational performance by understanding and managing the cross-generational dynamic of your business.
- Safety Leadership™ - embedding a culture of safety in the workplace by focusing on the behaviours and attitudes of leaders throughout the organisation as well as developing world's best practice systems.
- The development and implementation of "Working-Knowledge" Systems that provide authoritative information about "how things happen around here". Our work in this domain can include:
- Business Process Review and Reengineering with a particular focus on the back-office systems that enable and support the operations of the organisation.
- The development of Governance Architectures and Policy Frameworks.
- Workforce planning systems that are based upon functional architectures (the roles that people play rather than the position they hold.)
- Competence frameworks based upon the needs of the organisation.
