Strategy Development and Alignment
Ensuring alignment and commitment to shared objectives is key to successful strategy development. Our expert Consultants assist Boards and Executive Teams to develop actionable Strategic Plans and Operating Plans to produce optimum results.
Recent Strategy Development and Alignment projects include working with a medium-size GOC facilitating the development of their Strategic Plan and supporting Operating Plans. The work commenced with facilitating in-depth discussions with the Board and stakeholders using various tools to crystalize key objectives, measures and risks. Subsequent work with the Executive Team developing the 5-year Strategic Plan, and supporting Annual Operating Plans, created the environment to work with each Executive individually to align their contribution and commitment. Now, early in year 3, periodic reviews of the Plan have confirmed its success, as both enabler and measure of organisational performance.
Clients have included; Community Services, Energy, Heavy Industry, Local Government, Logistics, Health providers.
People-Related Audits
Whether it be a compliance related audit, or a framework review, our approach provides clients with actionable recommendations to improve performance. We take the time to understand our client’s environment and their unique challenges and opportunities.
Recent engagements include conducting a Remuneration Framework review to address significant misalignment between remuneration framework and organisational strategy in a large logistics organisation. The work included a current state assessment and comprehensive remuneration and payroll audit. This audit identified policy, process and compliance issues. Determining the desired future state through a deep-dive with Board and Executive teams led to development of an optimised Remuneration framework, and subsequently a managed change process to adopt the new framework with faster implementation and minimum disruption to operations.
Areas covered include; Remuneration and Benefits framework audits and reviews, Payroll audits, Psychosocial Risk Assessments, Compliance audits, Organisational Capability framework reviews.
Sectors have included; Rail and Logistics, Electricity Generators, Local Government, Health providers.
Organisation Re-structures
In anticipation of sector-wide challenges, our client engaged Heads Up Consulting to refine its organisational structure, with a focus on operational efficiency and responsiveness. Through stakeholder engagement and proven change management methodologies, we developed a future-state structure supported by a detailed execution plan to enable transparent, efficient implementation. Over the 12-month engagement, the restructure progressed to final-stage with no disruptions to operations nor industrial issues, achieving key milestones and meeting all agreed success measures.
Client sectors; Universities, Professional Services, Community Services, Indigenous Health providers.
Engagements have included; Change project documentation drafting, Business Case development, alignment workshops, Risk Assessments, Stakeholder engagement planning and execution.
