Maximise Consulting partners with senior business leaders and their people to execute strategy and improve business results, particularly during significant change.
We provide consulting, facilitation and executive coaching to align perspectives, build leadership capability, and create fit-for-purpose organisations with clear purpose and vibrant cultures.
Our unique contribution is in accessing the passion and commitment of the workforce through participative processes that ensure everyone owns and takes an active part in your strategic change agenda.
We deliver value through three core service areas: strategic alignment, organisation design and leadership development.
Services
Strategic alignment
Put simply, a strategy is an organisation working out where it is, where it wants to be, and what it needs to do to get there. Periodically CEOs, MD’s and business unit heads must step back and make time to plan the long-term growth and future position of the enterprise in response to dynamic markets, while maintaining business-as-usual.
organisation design
Organisation design is a rigorous process of ensuring an organisation’s formal and informal structures, systems, work processes, and culture are purposefully organised to successfully execute the organisation’s strategy. It goes well beyond changes of reporting lines, and ensures the organisation is optimally “fit-for-purpose” through an internal transformation of structures, culture and people.
Leadership development
In our experience effective leadership development happens over time, on the job, through dedicated and deliberate practice. Leadership development efforts continue to be short-lived, focused on theoretical content-driven knowledge that fails to upskill or change behaviour. Your organisation and environment is likely to be increasingly dynamic and complex, demanding more adaptive leadership practises.
Clients
We work with clients across a diverse range of industries from private, public, and for-purpose enterprises with unique challenges and diverse industry contexts.
This includes financial services, education, telecommunications, professional services, resources, pharmaceutical, chemicals, aviation, healthcare, utilities, and government.
They each have in common an urgent need to transform their business, build capability, renew their workplace culture, and respond to dynamic markets and changing stakeholder demands.
