Consulting Services
Strategy
Specialising in developing a “Strategy on a Page,” Maggie distils a strategic plan into a succinct, actionable document, highlighting key objectives, priorities, and actions. This concise format enables effective communication of the strategy effectively across all levels of the organisation, ensuring alignment and driving focused execution. With strategic clarity, and an actionable plan, staff can deliver against measurable actions to achieve strategic goals.
Culture
Having worked with a number of great organisations that provide specialist culture programs, Maggie has observed that organisations can need additional support after a program ceases. With a hands-on pragmatic approach, she assists organisations to build on the culture program and embed practices that are effective and sustainable. For organisations that do not have the financial capacity for specialist culture programs, she provides pragmatic solutions utilising staff surveys.
