Awaken the Awesome in your business
What We Do
Think differently about your business
Sustainable Competitive Advantage used to be the goal every business sought. No longer does it give you that 50-100 year advantage over your competitors.
The only sustainable advantage is through your people being connected to their changing work demands so that risks or costs are reduced, whilst opportunities are recognised and actioned.
Successful competitive advantage creates, and then enables, a robust culture of engaged people, all of whom are Change Fit and who can meet the demands of their constantly changing environment.
Becoming Change Fit can grow the

Philosophy
"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
The important thing is not to stop questionning."
Albert Einstein
The important thing is not to stop questionning."
Albert Einstein
Awe-some is to inspire awe, to be extraordinary, amazing, incredible and stupendous. However informal usage today is common and means the word is often used in less inspiring circumstances to indicate something is better than good. True awesomeness is beyond that.
Awesome is the satisfaction level we strive for in all we do.

Carolyn's skill is in guiding people and organisations to transfer knowledge themselves, rather than do it for them."
David Swinson, Fire Safety Consulting
“I worked with Carolyn in the delivery of training through a project funded by the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). With a demanding client and a tight budget, Carolyn fostered a collaborative approach which drew the best out of both the client and trainer (me). Consequently this resulted in further training being undertaken for OEH.”
“I have worked with Carolyn over many years via various organisations, roles and professional relationships. I have always found Carolyn to be capable, proficient and collaborative.
Carolyn is skilled at working with people at all professional levels to put together the right people and provide support and training to achieve great outcomes.”

“We see great value in the Competitive Strength Review. The questions made us all think. They raised issues we did not immediately associate with our competitiveness. The Abyss scenarios were challenging and some provided us with a wake-up call. It has prompted us to look again at issues we were living with. We are now approaching the priorities with renewed vigour. More importantly, the proposition to achieve Excellence really made us think about our own contributions as leaders of the business.
It provides huge insights, valuable prompts and advice from a 40 minute investment per person.”
"I found the Competitive Strength Report provided deep insights into the sustainability of my organisation working in a dynamic market. It lead to an intense focus on the change management process, ensuring we delivered on our Strategy.”

"The CSR prompted meaningful dialogue and a reality check. It encouraged us to take stock. In its own right this achieves introspection and action.
It also highlighted potential differences amongst the top team and provided focus on the issues that need to be addressed or require clarification and consensus."

"The Competitive Strength Report certainly influenced my thinking regarding how to leverage the business. We have since bought numerous companies, restructured and are delivering diverse services to our market.
A thought provoking experience well worth it.”

Crystalising thinking
“The Competitive Strength Review delivers excellent value. It took us only 40 minutes to answer two questionnaires which made us think and ask ourselves some searching questions.
The Report illustrated where we held different views of our business, some of which were fundamentally important. We realised we were not as much on the same page as we thought we were.
These were valuable insights, particularly in relation to how we lead and manage change.
The comparison with Dr Singhal’s research led to further introspection and questioning. We realised we were accepting second best. The Report forced us to crystalise our thoughts and to focus on at least 5 areas in our drive towards Excellence.”
