Illuminating your path to success
OUR APPROACH
Whether your organisation requires a one-off advisory service or a longer-term engagement, Beacon Consult. brings innovative thinking, agile and adaptable processes and a recognition that just as each organisation is unique, so too is its need for a personally tailored and targeted solution. We’re not in the business of forcing a one-size fits all solution upon our clients. We won’t simply tell you what your organisation needs to do – we’ll work with you to illuminate the best path for your organisation.
We know from experience that change and transformation of your people and culture cannot occur effectively without focused attention on your team. That’s why we form a partnership with you and your key people. We’re passionate about fostering relationships and we know the value of ongoing coaching and guidance at many points along the process.
What really sets Beacon Consult. apart is the breadth of our experience. With expertise in management consulting (across people, technology and business consulting) and organisation-wide business strategy development in addition to all the facets of people and culture, we bring an invaluable whole-of-business perspective to your organisation’s challenges.
We can support your organisation across the following critical areas:
Strategy & Purpose
In a world where change is constant, clear strategy is crucial to ensure your organisation stays on its path to future success.
When your business scales rapidly sometimes things are moving so fast that this critical step is missed.
Our expertise lies in co-developing strategies that deliver aligned purposes and which are communicated and embedded at
every level of your organisation. We’re also masters at translating organisational strategies from design into execution and
have a robust track record of delivering value through culture, leadership, coaching, operating models and org design.
Questions to help clients answer
- How does our people strategy need to evolve
- Where should we be focusing our energy and efforts?
- What is our vision and do all our people connect to it?
- Do we have consistency in our internal and external branding aligned to our strategy?

High Performance and Culture
These two terms are often blended together but it’s important that they are optimised separately. Shifting away from traditional approaches to Performance Management, we’re experts at setting up organisations so that the performance of their people is optimised and those strived-for objectives are met.
It’s important that your organisation’s values are more than just a poster in reception. We work to ensure that there is increased belonging and connection to work for your people and they have the information and support they need to implement the behaviours you deem important. We help organisations focus on the components that drive a great culture – starting with a connected strategy, aligned purpose and adaptive leadership
Questions to help clients answer
- How do we ensure we can grow without losing our unique culture?
- How can we grow and ensure we’re creating an environment where our people can perform at their best?
- How do we enhance our people’s performance, not just manage it?
- How do we create the best employee experience that aligns to our culture and elevates our performance?
- How do I effectively manage poor performers so it stops impacting my business?

Operating Model & Organisation Design
It’s no surprise that what works with an organisation of 10 employees doesn’t work when you’ve hit 100 or 500. With a clear strategy in place, one needs to take a close look at the work needed to be done, how and where it is done, and who does it. And an important part of that is to look at the organisation structure.
Maintaining a clear path for your people as their roles grow alongside growing functions is critical. To perform at their best, your people need to know how their work is contributing to the overall strategy of your business. We are specialists in working with clients in diverse industries, in developing operating models to deliver on strategic objectives in organisations of all sizes, as well as designing organisation structures in evolving businesses, particularly those that are scaling rapidly.
Questions to help clients answer
- How do I set up my organisation to scale rapidly?
- How can our organisation more rapidly adjust to the changing world?
- What is the right structure and operating model to deliver on our business strategy?
- How can we better respond to market changes to compete for talent and customers?

Leadership & Coaching
Successful leaders model the behaviour they want to see in their people and communicate effectively both one-to-one and more broadly. Coaching can enhance the performance of your leaders and in turn equip them with coaching skills so they can do the same for their teams. We look at innovative techniques, often built on a foundation of internal coaching, to build leadership capability. Whether it is delivering executive coaching or building a coaching culture within an organisation, we know this focus is a priority to take your organisation to the next level
Questions to help clients answer
- How can we create a coaching culture that drives high performance and a culture that attracts and retains our talent?
- How can we best develop our leaders to deliver on our future strategy?
- How can I take my best leaders to the next level?

Capability Development
Learning is an important driver for engagement so whether it supports an employee’s development in a current role or is part of career progression, investment in this area is critical. We have years of experience working with clients – big and small – to maximise the learning investment in their people.
Questions to help clients answer
- Where is the best place to invest in my people’s development?
- Where do we need to focus to become the best team we can be?
- What is the right structure and operating model to deliver on our business strategy?
- How do we define competencies for role success?

Scaling People Foundations
We’ve now worked with many scaling organisations setting up their people & culture and other corporate functions, across people, process and technology, to meet future strategic objectives. This can start with redesigning the organisation, redesigning Recruitment and Onboarding functions, as well as Development and Performance. Systems are also critical and we’ve worked closely leading multiple clients to deliver HR information Systems to support many People and Culture functions.
The final missing piece is change management and engagement. Whether an organisation is scaling to their next phase of growth, or evolving through a transformation, people need to be guided along the change path deliberately and consistently and out the other side – not allowed to languish in uncertainty.
Questions to help clients answer
- We’re growing so quickly, how do I better support my people?
- Where do I invest my resources for growth?
- Are we remunerating and rewarding people appropriately to attract and retain them?
- How do we support our people through change?
- Are my people engaged? How can I improve that?
