Performance Improvement
We set organisations up for long term success
During their most complex chapters, company leaders turn to us to create meaningful change.
Taking a whole picture view, we look beyond your most pressing issues to identify the root cause of performance problems.
But rather than simply identifying the gaps, we help fill them with the people and capabilities that will unlock a higher level of performance that lasts.
This means solving for today, with a serious consideration of what tomorrow looks like.
Working in stride with our clients, we put changes in practise, empower capability, and leave public and private sector organisations future fit.

Governance & operating model performance
Our Performance Improvement team’s governance and operating model service helps organisations design and implement the structures, processes, and decision-making frameworks needed to operate with clarity, agility, and accountability.
For both private- and public-sector organisations, effective governance and a fit-for-purpose operating model are essential to drive performance, manage risk, and enable strategic execution.
We work with Boards and executive teams to assess current governance structures and operating models, identifying misalignments, inefficiencies, and barriers to effective decision-making. Whether the need is driven by growth, transformation, regulatory change, or shifts in strategy, we design and implement models that clearly define roles, responsibilities, and ways of working across the organisation.
Our approach ensures that governance is not just a compliance function, but a catalyst for better performance which enables faster decisions, stronger accountability, and improved cross-functional collaboration. We focus on aligning organisational structure, decision rights, performance management, and leadership behaviours to strategic priorities.
We work with organisations undergoing change, facing complexity, or seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. By establishing clear governance and operating models, we help clients improve execution, reduce risk, and create a strong foundation for sustained growth and resilience.
