Organisational Capability

Nous’ organisational capability consultants work with both private and public sectors organisations assisting them to achieve optimum outcomes for clients’ customers, shareholders and employees. We do this by building the capability and capacity of organisations to transform, firstly by designing and implementing organisation architectures that are aligned to the business purpose and then by creating productive organisational cultures.

Nous consultants work with clients to ensure effective management of human and organisational capital and structures that maximise competitive advantage. Our tools, analysis and guidance have helped management and boards to influence and focus behaviour as well as add significantly to shareholder value. Our people have:

• Held senior executive HR and organisatonal development positions in some of Australia’s leading corporate and public sector organisations
• Consulted and advised leaders on organisational issues at the most senior levels of business and government
• Designed and facilitated organisational development programs in multi-national and national organisations.

The key services our Organisatonal capablity practice delivers are:

Business transformation and change management
Nous helps transform organisations by mobilising energy and ideas. Transformation is a question of spirit, meaning and mood, complemented by sound business strategy and action planning. Nous brings masterful facilitation and proven change management expertise when engaging and mobilising people around what matters to an organisation.

Organisational architecture
Nous acts on the premise that intelligent organisational design requires choices about how best to deliver on the organisation’s strategic intent. Our best practice approach to organisatonal design encompasses the organisation’s purpose, strategic direction, its people, service models, processes, systems, job & work design and culture. The outcome is an organisational framework which enables successful delivery of our client’s strategy; one that is flexible, practical and achievable given available resources.

Talent management
Nous designs and shapes strategic talent portfolios that deliver strong returns to organisations and employees. We identify job roles critical for the success of an organisation and then unlock the talent needed to drive these roles. We design meaningful attraction and retention initiatives and craft people development programs that strengthen the quality of the talent portfolio.

Performance management
Nous enables people and organisations to achieve outstanding performance. We help strengthen our client’s business critical and daily performance management strategies, processes and skills. Nous can assess performance management effectiveness and pinpoint the systems and business accountabilities that optimise productivity. Our commitment to and enthusiasm for performance improvement results in performance improvement at all levels of the client organisation.

People strategy
Nous develops people strategies that bring superior business results and compelling employment brands. We also shape people strategies to enable collaboration and innovation; both key features of modern, successful organisations. We work with our clients to ensure that critical people issues and practices align with business requirements.

Positive workplace climate
We help organisations define and achieve an optimal culture and a positive workplace climate, developing and implementing innovative strategies to shape the culture and build effective, collaborative workplaces with the capability to perform, grow and renew.
