Our consultancy services are customised to assist leaders and their people develop insights for key performance improvement opportunities, to then design and implement high value initiatives, and finally to ensure results are sustainable.
We are committed to facilitating practical, research-based solutions which bring together the technical and human dimensions of organisations, along with proven organisational change strategies.
We are experienced in applied research within our practice areas and specialist areas. We offer expertise in research design, mixed methods and action research methodologies. In addition, we provide small scale on-line surveys.
Our preference is to integrate the research process into performance improvement and organisational change initiatives. Not only do research findings strengthen the understanding of the current situation, they also inform planning and contribute to creating a baseline for later evaluation.
We have specific expertise in applying business excellence frameworks, such as the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence; and the Human Synergistics methodologies. In addition, we are accredited to use a range of psychometric tests.
Within STRATUM we also have expertise in project management, small group facilitation, training and development, and facilitating action learning sets. We offer coaching for executive managers and management.
While the approach we take is customised to the client's needs, we typically follow a systematic consultancy or research process.
We apply a staged engagement model that gives the client flexibility and enables us to be responsive to their changing needs. Each phase of a project is clearly defined prior to progressing.
Typically we work with our clients as project managers or as members of a project team. At times we work as short term contractors.
