Our Approach
Working in the Organisational Development Space
We work in the organisational devleopment space. We are committed to helping organisations learn and excel in healthy and productive ways.
It can be hard for people to understand the role of organisational development because it is so complex and is involved in every part of the organisation. Often times it is only the CEO and senior executives who think in the organisational development space. At a local level some managers and supervisors initiate some aspects of organisational development for their teams.
Organisational development focuses on the organisation itself and its effectiveness and maturity.
All other strategic areas focus on parts of the organisation's functions and resources. The diagram below illustrates how they link together.
Effective organisations do organisational development to integrate their activities, learn ways to improve and build a positive, sustainable and productive culture. This is what we help them do.

Our philosophy
We love that evidence shows that personal wellbeing and corporate productivity go together. So we work with organisations to help people prosper so together, people, teams and organisations can achieve their goals.
Organisations need to be productive. Productivity is dependent of people. People want to enjoy their lives.
Supported by the evidence, we promote the partnership between productivity and wellbeing within organisations. The productivity and wellbeing partnership creates a solid foundation of shared values for a healthy and effective organisation.
Organisations value productivity to achieve their goals. People value personal wellbeing to live good lives. When combined everyone does well. When put in competition, everyone suffers.
To help organisations achieve this healthy combination we focus on the whole picture: the ability of people to make an organisation successful, creating value for stakeholders while living a satisfying work life. This is why we work in the organisational development space. Here we can help organisations maintain an integrated approach to ongoing success.
Overall, we are results focused. Results are what organisations exist for. They are what give people a sense of achievement. They are what make a difference to you and your stakeholders.

Breadth and Depth
"Paul's regular contact with me, his sage advice and professional guidance was of extraordinary assistance during the successful reorientation of LASA Q - a true partnership.Paul has since provided similar services to members of LASA Q. His insight, knowledge and prodigious catalogue of techniques, tactics and business improvement and growth models has been highly valued by me and members alike.
I highly recommend Paul and I'm grateful for his support, assistance and wise counsel."
Barry Ashcroft, Former CEO LASA Q
Effective processes
"As a person new to the context (a new appointment), I found the process to be extremely useful. It provided me a framework through which I could more easily make judgements about competing priorities. It also allowed me to map a course of action to tackle those priorities identified as crucial to enabling my leadership position to function effectively.I have since engaged Mr Hegerty to work with my Administration team to assist us further with our change agenda."
Gordon Herbertson, School Principal, Education Queensland
Honest help
"As I have taken up new leadership challenges over the last seven years, I have actively sought Paul's assistance in managing the various changes that I have sought when commencing in these roles. I have appreciated Paul's passion for helping others fulfil their potential, whilst providing frank and fearless advice to me on what works and what doesn't through his observations of my interactions......I have valued Paul's work and partly attribute my success to his help."
Dr. Glen Brown, Executive Director, Department of Environment and Heritage Protection
Cares about us
"We were very fortunate to have Paul work with us on our strategic and business planning process earlier this year......The result of his work with us has allowed us to develop a very clear vision for the future coupled with a road map for us to achieve the outcomes we want.
