We seek simplicity in our solutions, and integrate them into well designed processes that are easy to implement. Our aim is to help our clients develop sustainable solutions that work past our consultancy engagement.

EVIDENCE-BASED

Our solutions are developed based on psychological science, and we drill deeper to understand issues using data analytics and predictive techniques.  We help uncover insights through data, and develop interventions that are innovative and scientifically backed.

OUR SERVICES

TALENT ASSESSMENT AND SELECTION

Employing the wrong person for the job has negative impact on the individual, and on their team, resulting in losses in productivity and revenue for the organisation.  We understand the importance of finding the right person who fits the job, and is aligned with your organisational values and culture.

 

We can help design a bespoke talent system that works effectively, saving you valuable manpower resources, by:

  • Holistically identifying job requirements, such as competencies, and the softer aspects like personality, attitudes and values.
  • Scouting and evaluating the market for the most appropriate and validated tests that assess these requirements,
  • Using advanced data science and predictive techniques to rigorously test that your selection system works effectively.

DEVELOPING TALENT

The performance of any organisation is dependent on its people. We understand the factors that enable individuals and teams to flourish and achieve peak performance. Our aim is to help people and teams achieve success even in challenging environments and situations.

 

Using a blend of proven performance enhancement techniques and cognitive strategies based on psychological science, we design training to help people develop mental skills to enhance performance, well-being and resilience.

 

We have worked closely with elite pilots and high performing teams like the flying aerobatic team, and like them, we can help others achieve success by harnessing the power of their mind.

ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE

Organisations with great work cultures are able to effectively engage their people. An engaged workforce is more productive, more creative and are more likely to stay longer in the organisation.

 

We help our clients harness the full potential of their organisation through:

  • Diagnosing their current work climate and engagement levels,
  • Identifying areas of concern, and uncovering insights through data analytics,
  • Work in partnership with clients to develop a range of interventions to shape behaviour and enable change.

SAFETY AND HUMAN FACTORS

While human error is inevitable, it can lead to loss of lives and injury. The resulting reputational impact and losses in revenue can be devastating to high risk organisations. We believe that a good safety record is achievable and critical for business profitability. We have deep understanding of what it takes to build effective safety culture and the factors relating to shaping safety behaviour across people, teams, management and leadership. With our extensive experience in developing safety reporting and human factor analysis systems in the aviation industry, we can help build customised safety systems that work for your organisation.

 

The key to safety in any organisation lies with their people. Our human factors training synthesises latest research across human factors engineering, cognitive psychology and safety science.  We can help your organisation improve your safety record, by equipping your people with human factors understanding and skills to mitigate human error.

OUR TEAM

We are an innovative, people focused, and performance led team.
