We’re business collaborators

We leverage decades of expertise across diverse organisations, from start-ups to enterprises, to align people strategies with business goals.

When capability meets purpose, you achieve organisation-wide strategic success. We’re here to build that bridge.

We’ve seen what can go wrong - and what can go marvellously right

“Challenge the Way You Think” was created to address a common issue in organisations of all sizes: the disconnect between people and strategy. We’ve observed businesses struggling to attract, retain and nurture top talent, facing setbacks from inadequate risk management of key roles, and witnessing brilliant initiatives fail to achieve their intended impact. Without a comprehensive people strategy linking capability to purpose, potential growth and success are often missed.

Our solution is direct – a capability-based strategy that ties your organisational-wide long term goals to the people who will see it through. Through our SYNCAP framework, we’ve seen individuals understand their current and potential capabilities, their opportunities for growth through career pathways, and the importance and power of working within dynamic teams. We link your people strategy to the long-term goals of your organisation, and we guide you through our process to give you the tools to ensure your future success.

Our own organisational values

We firmly believe, to create the impact we aim to see, we must be an example of the change we propose. Powerful, open communication opens the door to unity and progress in a team, but that trust is built on a foundation of integrity.

Innovation

We value creative thinking and encourage challenging the status quo to drive meaningful change.

Impact

We are driven by the desire to make a lasting, positive impact on individuals, businesses, and society at large.

Listening

We open the doors for all individuals to have a voice and to be heard, creating an environment where mutual respect and confidence thrives

Collaboration

We believe in the power of uniting diverse talents leveraging collective intelligences to achieve superior outcomes.

Why Challenge the Way You Think?

We share our message as loudly and proudly as possible because of the opportunity it creates. When we invite you to challenge the way you think, we ask you to open the door to new ideas, but not to forget what you know. People optimisation can’t come without a strategic direction to progress toward. Our philosophy provides a new vector for you to re-evaluate and re-target your strategic thinking. Take the challenge to open your doors to new opportunities and future-proof your business with a more robust connection between the success of your team and the direction of your organisation.
