Welcome to UGM Consulting
We see ourselves as 'Human Capital Strategists'.
We’d like to explain just what this means.
The
largest single budget item in any organisation is usually associated
with people. Although we hear leaders claiming that ‘people are our
most valuable asset’, they are more often viewed as a cost than as an
investment! Sound familiar? The term ‘capital’ is closely associated
with investments, though it’s generally used to refer to tools,
machinery and plant: the organisation’s typical assets.
At
UGM, we really do believe that people are an organisation's most
important asset. In a nutshell, an organisation's Human Capital is its
people, and its ability to unlock their potential to deliver value. In
this powerful sense, Human Capital and organisational value are
intertwined. Organisations that are able to maximise their Human
Capital enjoy a competitive advantage over those that don't –
especially in tough times! In addition, people who work for
organisations that maximise Human Capital enjoy an employment advantage
that inspires success even in the face of challenges.
The
challenges that organisations face are complex and never more so than
now. Moving from the industrial economy into the knowledge economy has
only seen this complexity accelerate. At UGM, we work with clients in
the corporate and public sectors who are interested in new ways of
working that will make a measurable difference to their business.
From
many years of working in a wide range of industry sectors, we use our
experience to help you address the issues you're facing right now in
your business – whatever they are. Our evidence-based approach ensures
that you solve problems and achieve practical outcomes, adding
measurable value to your organisation.
We won't offer you
any fads or fashions! Instead, we’ll draw on a range of Human Capital
related fields to help you address the challenges confronting you now.
Our expertise and experience in integrating strategy development,
strategy facilitation, change management, cultural alignment and
leadership development allows us to extract the specific elements that
will best address your particular circumstances. This multi-lens
perspective and customised support also reduce your risk profile.
Our
goal is to build an enduring partnership with you. So we take pride in
working closely with you and your team to create an authentic and
productive relationship, based on our core values of trust and respect.
We personally commit to your success over the long term. You'll find
examples and case studies of how we work on our website and we also
have many satisfied clients who can tell you more.
If you'd
like to discuss how UGM could help you address your challenges and
increase the value of your business, please give us a call. We are
always happy to have a friendly chat over the phone. You can also
arrange a time for an initial consultation about your particular
situation and needs, free of charge.
In addition, we provide
regular executive briefings on issues relevant to our clients’ current
challenges. We like to offer a limited number of complimentary
invitations for these events to interested organisations. Let us know
if you would like to join us next time.
