Why choose UGM?
End-to-end service
We provide an end-to-end service, from strategic planning to the achievement of business results. This means that we are able to thread strategic intent throughout all other interventions, bringing a sharpened focus and outcomes-orientation to everything we do.
Practical application
We are a results-based consultancy, not an academic institution. Our focus is on making the best current thinking accessible, practical and relevant to your business challenges. The tools and frameworks you’ll learn from us can be used repeatedly and shared with work teams throughout your business, multiplying the impact over time of what we do with you.
Research capability
With a strong research tradition and an in-house research capability, all our work is backed up by leading edge thinking and world class practices. We locate the particular research findings that will challenge your thinking and uncover the drivers of growth for your business. Our research capability also brings innovation and relevance to all our interventions, facilitation methods and program content.
Open transfer of skills
Our intention, throughout the engagement, is to provide you with the skills to be independent of us. This is about ensuring all the processes we use are ‘transparent’ and equipping you to use our powerful tools and techniques to support change in other areas of your business. Clients invite us into the strategic planning process on an on-going basis because we add insights and skilled facilitation to the mix.
International expertise
For many businesses today, operating in a global context is
a
necessity. It can also be a source of confusion, expense and missed
opportunities. We can help you better understand the cultures of staff,
clients and counterparts in order to build more successful working
relationships in Australia and globally. For over two decades, we have
built a sound reputation in this field. We have a distinguished list of
clients in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors around the
globe where we help develop the cultural intelligence they need to
operate internationally.
Relationship
The strength of the relationship we make with you underpins our ability to deeply understand your perspective and add real value. It also means that we are able to ask tough questions or highlight a blindspot. We are selective about the people we work with and the projects we take on because we know that the relationship ‘fit’ is critical for success. This is a two-way street: our clients also enjoy the experience of working with us. We feel sure you will too!
