Grow People, Grow Business

Our Manifesto expresses who we are, what we believe in and how we aim to help others.

Living With Purpose

Just like tectonic plates, which sometimes move away from each other and at other times crash into each other, the world in which we live is making a phenomenal transition, with unparalleled global upheaval. Moments of hope and success are followed by moments of despair and destruction. The world is not aligned, tolerance for different views is disappearing and people are stuck to their own solutions.

This phenomenon is also occurring in businesses. Seismic changes are happening. Growth is moving to emerging countries where growing middle classes are demanding their rightful access to a better life with as consequence that governments and cooperation’s alike are scrambling to secure access to commodities and our planet is struggling to cope with the environmental fall-out.

With ageing populations in the West and the rise of the East the demand for talent is only going to increase. Talent has boundless opportunities and can move freely around the world. Individuals are being chased by companies and governments alike and can now set their own rules. The prime motive of talent is moving away from just making money, towards attaining an enjoyable, fulfilling life with a sense of meaning.

Only a few companies have been able to capitalise on these changes. Most companies are still being organised, structured and led in a way that goes against the grain of this new paradigm. Although they all know and proclaim that the new sources of sustainable competitive advantage have people at the centre, they have not been able to translate and weave the consequences into the fabric of their organisations.

As a result the manner in which most companies are being organised, structured and governed is at loggerheads with what talent wants.

Engage Consulting is being born out of this realisation, out of a strong belief that we can help companies and their people improve the way they live and work with each other. We will help organisations to engage their leadership teams, talent and workforce, foster commitment towards a co-created future and build a high performance business.

Our Core Beliefs

Four core beliefs form the foundation of Engage Consulting and its Mission + Work:

Leadership Makes All
The Difference

Our experience shows that leadership is the difference that makes the real difference. Your dream, your principles, your clarity of what needs to be done, your ability to pick the right talent and your ability to synergies the uniqueness of that talent in executing your vision will make the difference.

We can help you be the change you want to see in your organisation.

The Living Company

Great companies don’t have change initiatives, they pre-empt and adapt. Living companies have a sense of who they are that transcends what they do. Leaders in these companies don’t run their organisations as machines, instead they cultivate them as living entities in which trust, respect and tolerance are virtues that are deeply ingrained.

We can help you to grow this community, helping you to pre-empt and change in an evolutionary way, and ensuring that you will reap what you have sewn.

People At The Heart

We believe that organizations that will succeed are organisations that have people at the heart of their business: organisations which are able to capture and synergies individuals’ creativity and talent, inspirations and hopes, dreams and excitement, organisations which can break through the paradigm and build a new relationship with their employees.

We can help you to engage your organisation so that trust, respect and inclusiveness form the bedrock.

Power of Teams

We all remember a time when we were working in a high performing team – everything clicked, we believed in what we had to do and trusted each other to deliver, we worked for each other and had an amazing mix of talent. Most of all, there were results to show for it. That is the power of teams.

We can help you to build high performance teams, not only with your senior leadership team but at all levels in your company.
