Leadership & Strategy Article Count: 1
Our Associates work with clients to enable them to develop their capabilities to more effectively manage change.

Our strategic planning and innovation workshops effectively engage Executive and Senior Management Teams to develop clear and aligned strategies. Our Savvy consulting enables companies to build robust strategic plans and clear communications to engage people.
Our approach is to work with business leaders to determine current effectiveness and what needs to happen to achieve their strategy and business results. We build capability to design processes to support the change, equip leaders with skills to act, and track progress over time.

At the organisational level, we create and deliver programs that build essential leadership competencies, facilitate successful change, and align the culture to support the business strategy.

Engagement & Culture Article Count: 3
Is your organisation's culture, vision and values nothing more than a plaque on a wall in the reception area? Is your executive team just focused on the numbers or do they really understand the importance of productivity and how to achieve this without being dictatorial and increasing employee turnover? Do you have the courage to redefine your culture and values and reinvent your organisation, to not only achieve balance sheet success but inspire employee motivation and engagement?
Organisational culture is defined as the shared values, norms and expectations that govern the way people approach their work and interact with each other. In other words it's "what am I expected to do in order to fit in and get ahead here".
Organisations become successful through developing a real and meaningful culture and a set of values that reinforce this culture. Perhaps the most important aspect of culture and values is the organisation's ability, through its leadership team, to live and breathe those values.
We can assist to identify your organisation's culture and we'll determine a custom strategy and provide tools for:
- Diagnosing and measuring your culture's strengths and weaknesses - and determine how it needs to change;
- Ensuring your senior team shares a clear purpose, defined organisational values and business strategy to shape your culture;
- Increasing the effectiveness of individual leaders as change agents through executive coaching;
- Helping all employees translate the organisation's values and business drivers into tangible day-to-day actions;
- Ensuring the alignment, productivity, engagement and retention of your workforce after a major change.
We use Human Synergistics Organisational Culture Inventory (OCI) to provide a profile of an organisation's operating culture in terms of the behaviours that members believe are required to "fit in and meet expectations" within their organisation. The Organisational Culture Inventory (OCI) is the most widely used and thoroughly researched tool for measuring organisational culture in the world. A special version of the OCI is used to create a vision of the ideal or preferred culture for the organisation. Using this, leaders can define the culture that would best help their organisation achieve its vision and support long term effectiveness.
Organisational Design & Change Management Article Count: 2
Organisational change is an emotional process — one that often creates a source of insecurity and tension. Savvy works with clients to enable them to develop their capabilities to more effectively manage change and realise benefits. This might involve supporting the client as they develop a clear and concise vision of the future for parts or all of their organisation, or coaching the Leadership Team to convey the right messages during times of change.
From incremental functional change through to a full transformation, our change management consulting enables companies to build robust engagement plans and clear communications to engage people. Our approach draws from practical experience in what actions make change stick. We help companies identify and deliver "quick wins" and sustainable success by building alignment, role clarity and avoiding ambiguity around decision rights. Throughout the organisational change activity, we share our expertise to uplift the capability of business leaders to effectively lead, manage and develop talent.

Relationships with something for all. What to look for in a Mentor. Daily Telegraph March 2014
Savvy Human Resources Associates managing director Craig McFadden says the best thing a mentor can be is a sounding board, constructively challenging ideas and actions as well as offering alternative pathways. Mentoring is vital to achieving business and personal success. To be taken seriously mentoring efforts should be linked to the goals of the organisation. Mentoring relationships don't work when the mentor knows it all, solves problems for the mentee, doesn't ask the difficult but critical questions and doesn't use their knowledge to predict or address difficulties for the mentee.
